The Giant Lobster One day, Dave and his family decided to go on a vacation to Maine like they do every summer. They lived in West Hartford, Connecticut. Dave loved Connecticut and so did his three brothers, Steven, Rob, and Peter. They all packed their bags and got in their brand new car, and headed off. They sung road trip songs, and played their road trip games. They eventually got bored and just slept the rest of the way. The next morning, they all woke from their nice slumber and jumped out of the car. “We’re here! We’re here!” Steven yelped as he was running for the cottage.. The boys all ran after their brother with legs like noodles because of their long car ride and long slumber. They got their swim trunks on so they could go down to the beach and play. Steven, Peter, and Rob wanted to build sand castles as tall as the sky but, dave wanted to go explore and look for cool animals. So, Dave decided to leave his older brothers and explore by himself. As he walked along the harbor when he came across something exhilarating. A giant lobster!! “AAAAAHHHH” dave screamed as he ran for his brothers. The brothers were alarmed and instantly jumped up and ran to their little brother. “What’s wrong!?” Rob questioned grabbing his brother by the shoulders to calm him down. Dave’s long bleach blond hair covered his face as he explained what he saw. He said that it was huge! At least 11 feet long and bright blue. Its large, sea green eyes were staring at him as if it knew who he was. Its long antennas pointing at Dave, as if accusing dave. “That sounds awful!!” his three brothers said in unison. Dave nodded and walked off. With his head down, he kicked up the sand as if he was playing soccer with an imaginary ball. He wanted to walk back to the harbor and apologize to the lobster for his alarmed reaction even though he knew the lobster wouldn’t understand him. But, he decided not to because he didn’t want to look like a fool. So, he decided to walk back to the cottage and read. While dave was reading, the lobster had built enough strength to walk. So, he got up off his side and went into the town to get help so he could find his family and get back to the water. As he walked through
On a Tuesday morning in June, four children ponder what to do with their time, the day promising to be wonderful, the sky was azure blue, the sun shining brightly closing out a sweet earthy smell from the ground the intermixing with the salty breeze coming from the bay. The ocean sparkling as it reflects the sun, it’s turquoise water inviting one to play. As for the children they sat on the porch questing what do. It's here that the tale begins with my three sisters and me when we found ourselves bored on such a summer day. “ I'm soooo, BORED!” Niamh exclaims in a exasperated tone. Aine saves the day, when she pipes in to the conversation,“ Let's go to Mike's beach, the beachcombing got to be good, last night there was a storm” “ If we're lucky, maybe Uncle Mike’s buoys escaped and we can claim a finder's fee”, Aine states in a calm voice. Eventually we start for the beach, after paying the customary fee of one back massage to our Dad, we were free to leave the fenced yard. Aine and Oona lead the group while Niamh and I follow at a slower pace. Our families live close to each other, our house, the grandparents and
There was once a man who's job was to be a clown and attend parties to make people laugh. He would get paid with 2 pounds of lobster. Then one day we had so much lobster in his apartment that he decided to eat it all and so he did by cooking many lobster foods. But the upcoming day he wasn't feeling good and so he reported late for work, and had the day off. He then quit his job. Suddenly he collapsed in his apartment bedroom and then woke up after 48 hours and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Then all of the sudden he noticed he had a lobster head, thick armor like a lobster and could breath under water, and so he decided to become a vigilante and fight crime. And so he decided to make a name for himself he decided to call himself, Clobster.
Steadily walking up the steep mountain path, Dave thought out loud to himself. “I think this is the best hiking path ever,” he whispered to nobody. Suddenly, Dave took a step forward and tripped on a rock. “Owww!” he yelled. He had a bad bump on his head.
As discussed in section 3.1, the lobster industry began enjoying larger harvests in the mid-20th century as a result of improved conservation efforts. Unfortunately, the few existing lobster dealers exploited this opportunity engage in opportunism by fixing prices - high bait costs and low catch payment. They were able to accomplish this due to the asset specificity of the capital needed by the lobstermen, specifically bait and equipment and the nature of the lobster pound infrastructure. Lobstermen were paid a very small amount, approximately twenty-five cents per pound, and the full price for bait despite bulk and regular purchases.
As Ralph was holding the rod he started to drift off into his own thoughts. Being by the water for extended periods of time reminded him of his father and the fishing trips they used to take. It was definitely different than being on the scorching hot island with such a rubbish pole, but nonetheless it was like he was back on the lake a mile out of the town limits. His father used to buy the top of the line poles each time one that was worth purchasing would come out. His father's old poles that he
After they spent an hour doing the last step of the tent, they finally got everything set up. When the sun set, they decided to start a campfire. After a few drinks, they heard a noise behind a tree. Dan decided to quickly check to see if someone was there. After 20 minutes, they started to worry about Dan. Before they all decided to
Followed right after us was Sofia and Dilyn. We explained to Sofia and Dilyn how we almost had a nasty encounter with a skunk and how we ran as fast our feet could take back to our camp spot. The funny thing was right after we told our story two more skunks show up at our camp. I instantly jumped onto the table. There was no way I was going to be in a ten foot radius of those creatures. Of course Jake being Jake had to go chase them with his crossbow because he was determined to shoot a skunk. It was only Carly, Sofia, Dilyn, Dalton, and I soo since we had nothing better to do at two am and we are literally two seconds away from the ocean why not go to the beach. As we made our way to the beach I took in my surroundings. The beach look like it was photographed in black and white. You couldn't see the ocean all you could see was the black of the night. We all found the life guard tower and sat up there. It was really relaxing hearing the sound of the water crashing onto the shore. We all sat there and started talking about anything and everything for what seemed like forever. Of course that couldn't last forever so we had to make our way back to

Part 1 of this list brought us along a strange path of weird movies but we are just getting started. If the weird is too much for you, then turn back now. If not, stay tuned because we're going deeper.
Wallace sets up a scenario for the reader that puts them in the mindset of the lobster itself, as it is being boiled. Wallace says that while the lobster is boiling it “…behaves as much as you or I would…” (Wallace 62). This sentence automatically makes the reader feel extremely uneasy about the idea of boiling a lobster, because all they can picture now is a human boiling. Wallace writes about the “…rattling and clanking…” of the lobsters while they boil and how their “…claws [scrape] the side of the kettle as it thrashes…,” using onomatopoeias to make the scenario all so real for the reader (Wallace
The lobster presents itself as yet another immortal sea creature. Frequent predation of underwater predators and
Historical fiction can be a fantastic, and amusing, way to learn about a historical period. England in the 19th Century is a fascinating period to study, but it can be a little tedious reading through text books. Tracy Chevalier’s Remarkable Creatures demonstrates the cultural and religious attitudes of England in the early to mid-19th Century.
On this dangerous journey, the next place on the map was named, “SOUTH PARK.” As he entered the quiet mountain town, he met four fourth grade boys. The boys were in a
It was dark outside. Clouds loomed over the skies as I walked into the enormous colorful building. Blazing rays of LED lights shone through the entrance’s translucent windows. Brightness and gleams engulfed my vision like a wildfire. My eyes blink, trying to focus where I was walking. As I paced myself through the crowded corridors of the large hallway trying to find my group of friends, I could see murals of sea animals everywhere and signs directing where each exhibit was. Animated and overjoyed, I pranced to the first exhibit where the baby sand sharks were. They were extraordinary, swimming around their tank but sadly not able to leave their confined space. Their tank only allowed them to swim continuously in circles. Although animals in captivity tend to live longer than animals in the wild, it is depressing to mull over how they were stripped of their freedom. There was nowhere to escape when housed in such small enclosures.
When we arrived to the convention site, we went to our rooms and settled in. The road trip was about a 7-hour drive with restroom and food breaks. Later on, our teachers went to their rooms to sleep. One of the girls brought her disco Bluetooth speaker, so all the girls piled up in one room and just danced to the music that played.
