I agree that this poem has a simple meaning to it. But the element of symbolism really gets me. I agree that the catcher felt pride. But I also think the catcher felt respect for the fish, the fact that it had been able to fight so many times for its freedom.
>When I read this poem I liked it the most because it seemed to have a simple meaning to it. But after hearing the other read I was more impressed with the other poems because they seemed to be a little more complex and I was able to see other meanings in the poems. With this poem it just seems to be too easy.
