BIG FISH IN A SMALL POND Have you ever seen a fish tank with a lot of small fish and one larger fish? That larger fish might seem big in the fish tank, but it’s really only a few inches long. If that fish were put in the ocean next to an even larger fish, it would seem quite small. The phrase “a big fish in a small pond” is used to describe someone who is important in a small community, but might not seem so important in a bigger community. Write a paragraph about a time when you’ve felt like a big fish in a small pond. Or, if you can’t think of a time like this, describe when you have felt like a little fish. (Minimum one paragraph, five sentences)
