    I'll just post an excerpt of the poem "The Fish" by Elizabeth Bishop. The excerpt would show that the fish has given up struggling for survival after living a hard life.

    "I caught a tremendous fish

    and held him beside the boat

    half out of water, with my hook

    fast in a corner of his mouth.

    He didn’t fight. ⇒ The fish gave up

    He hadn’t fought at all. ⇒ struggling for survival

    He hung a grunting weight, ⇒ after living

    battered and venerable ⇒ a hard life

    and homely. Here and there

    his brown skin hung in strips

    like ancient wallpaper,"
