Answer 1

It's a pretty simple poem as far as theme goes: it's simply a description of the shark. Pratt emphasizes the things that make the shark foreign or strange to a human: its shape, its fluid movements, the teeth and fins--but he also stresses how the shark is at home in its environment. So I guess I'd say the main theme is the alienation of humans from nature--that we can see things in nature, but we are really separated from them and don't actually share the same world.

The setting is in nature and the structure is narrative/descriptive.

Answer 2

Here is an analysis of the poem:

This is about a girl who was given a school assignment to read a poem and analyze it. But she was too lazy to do her own work, so she decided to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet to do the entire thing for her. After all, why should she have to WORK to get anything in life?
