Big Fish


 

It is a story of a man's life, told from a father to his son.  Some of the story is fact and other is fiction. As a result of a powerful tramforative storytelling, which is a way to make agmends with life and death. 

One our last trip riding in a car, this was at the end of his father 's life as a man, they stopped by a river and we took a walk to the banks Were they sat down in the shade of an old oak tree. The suddenly he took a  deep breath and said. " Remeber me"

Edward Bloom was in the prime of his life, But an extraordinary man.  He couldn't run from anyone, as he never skips school, as he saved  live also tamed an gaint. As animal, and humand love him also woman love him too.

As he knew all the jokes than any man was alive.  It was what his son was told, william.   But now Edward Bloom is dying he wanted his son to learn the truth about his father.  He would tell a tales that would be too late.

Knowing a few fact William begain to recreate his father life in a myth of a tales with the legends.  As he begain to understand his father greats fate, and his great falings. But  the results of hilarious with wrenching, with tenderness, an outrageous of great story.

It was an amazing story, that was told by a dying father to his son, Even though he was telling a different version of it.  It had the same meaning to it.  That will live on for generation to generations.  i Found that the story had a lot of twist to it.  At the end his father memories become the big fish.

    I like when stories take unexpected twists and turns. They're not really fun to read if they're predictable.

    The symbolism of the big fish at the end representing his father's memories and legacy was incredibly impactful.
