Which three words or phrases in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" compare the fish to an old, experienced soldier?

A green line, frayed at the end where he broke it, two heavier lines, and a fine black thread still crimped from the strain and snap when it broke and he got away. Like medals with their ribbons frayed and wavering, a five-haired beard of wisdom trailing from his aching jaw. I stared and stared and victory filled up the little rented boat, from the pool of bilge where oil had spread a rainbow

In the excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish," phrases that liken the fish to an old, seasoned soldier include: "Like medals with ribbons frayed and wavering": this signifies that the fish evaded capture and, much like a veteran soldier, displays his honors. "beard of wisdom trailing from aching jaw": this depicts an injured veteran moving slowly on the ground. "victory": this underscores the ultimate goal of a soldier following a battle, akin to the fish that was ultimately caught, hence "filling the little boat."

Response: The directors opt for this approach because certain scenes or props are challenging to replicate. Additionally, it might be due to characters lacking relatability, necessitating the inclusion of more elements. To fill narrative gaps, filmmakers often introduce additional characters or scenes.

Naddik [7538]
<span>Creon prefers to be ostracized by his community rather than admitting that a woman challenged him! This indicates his deep fear of being outshone by a female. Creon's remarks subtly reveal his significant anxiety about women.</span>
