Lobsters

          In the discussion that I took place I didn't say anything, but I had a question. My question was; Why does Howard Nemerov compare the lobster to both happy things and depressing thing that make the lobsters seem ugly? An example of a  more happy thing is " the beauty of strangeness marks"

          When I was listening to the discussion one thing that changed the way I thought  about the poem was "The flame beneath the pot that boils the water." When I first read the poem I thought of it more of the circle of life. Now that we had the discussion think of it more as the people that are buying and eating the Lobsters. I know that different people interpret the poem different ways. But I think Nemerov is trying to show that the lobsters are innocent and the people that buying them and eating them are big bullies.

5pt. Paragraph

           I wrote my paragraph on lost of innocense. In other people paper's I notice that most didn't have great embedded sentences in their paper's. In a lot of the paragraphs I think people really need to work on their transitions. Some people had really good papers that followed the form really well. If some kids were to edit their papers one or two more times I think their papers would have been 20 times better.

          If i were to make another 5point paragraph two things. One thing I would change is  I would have make another draft of my paper. I also would spent more time embedding. In my paper i believe that I did a good on my choice of quotes.
