The poem found above was taken from “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” written by W. D. Wetherell. This passage shows the conflict between character & himself (two choices), which is the choice losing the bass, or losing Sheila, a girl “I” had a crush on. In the rising action of the story was “I” invited Sheila to a concert, on the way to the concert when two of them was on the canoe, “I” herd Sheila said fishing was dumb. However, “I” noticed that a huge bass was caught by his hidden fishing rod. In the rest of the passage, the author was talking about the mental movement of “me” considering whether to get the bass or get Sheila’s good impression. As a result, which is in the resolution of the passage, “I” chose to cut the fishing line in half and let the bass go when the canoe got to its destination, but also didn’t succeed to get Sheila’s heart. The author at last left a mysterious quote said by Sheila, saying “You are a funny kid.”, which might just meant Sheila had a good time in the concert, but also has a possibility of meaning Sheila actually noticed “I” was hesitating about the bass, and noticed “I” had a crush on her.
