The poem "Lobsters" takes a rather simple situation and twists a whole different point of view on the subject. Creating new ideas in the readers mind and it can be interpreted in a variety of ways. However, these complex thoughts do not just materialize at first glance of this deep poem. It takes proper reading, thought, analysis, questioning, and discussion to create these intense interpretations of the work. One thing I found interesting was the way humans were being compared to lobsters. In the beginning it seemed a rather meaning less poem, only to talk about an experience at a grocery store. But it became more clear that lobsters and humans were being compared and portrayed and equals.
After taking part in and listening to class discussions I have a whole new outlook on not only the poem itself but my life too. The poem preaches to be kind to other living things, and understand how it would be if the situation was switched. I found this to be rewarding and helped me see that I am very luck to have this good life and make the most of every minute I have.
Hope you have a nice weekend.
