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 sang 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

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 town, he learned a lot. He learned that people were scared of him and that he was scared of humans. He learned that the road gets REALLY hot when it’s 90 degrees outside. Also, he learned how it’s really hard to get around when your 11 feet long and can’t fit in places like the coffee shop or the alley ways. As he roamed the streets like a tourist from another country, he found Dave’s parents!
“AAAAHHHHH” Dave’s mom yelled, grasping a pole to steady herself from falling.
This scared the giant lobster, and he tried to grasp the pole too! Unfortunately, the lobster was way to heavy and the flagpole fell. It was about to hit Dave’s dad, but fortunately, the giant lobster grabbed him gently with his pincers and moved him out of the way. When he was dropped down from the big blue pincers, he thanked the lobster sheepishly and hid his face. Although they couldn’t see it, the lobster was smiling and in his language, muffled, your welcome!! Off the lobster went to find help. By this time, it was dark and the Giant Lobster was very tired and he hadn’t found anyone to help him. So, he went back to the harbor to sleep.
Dave woke up bright and early so he could go say hi to the lobster. He walked down the mossy stones from the cottage, down to the shore. He stopped on the steps and
The first scene that introduces Dave was him sleeping in his car with a huge mess and he gets woken up by a bunch of kids hitting his car, he got up and the first thing that you hear is bear bottles clanging around at his feet. This first scene of Dave just shows that his life is not going very well and that he is most likely an alcoholic. Dave then got out of his car with no pants on and walked into the
At this point, Dave is two different people. One is the normal, cheerful, and innocent Dave. The other, is what Dave refers to as: “The Boy who’d escaped from Wolves.” (Lehane 300) whom is the one that is suffering from the trauma. Fast forward a little bit and Dave is brought on to kill a pedophile by The Boy.
The next morning John woke up early and was ready for the tournament. He only had a one hour drive so he woke up at seven oclock. The tournament started at nine thirty, but John wanted to make
In the essay “Consider the Lobster”, David Foster Wallace communicates his experience in the Main Lobster Festival as a writer for a food magazine called “Gourmet”. In this essay, he explores the impact the festival had on him as he tries to question the morals of eating lobsters. Wallace initially makes it seem as the festival is a place of fun and celebration as he describes the entertainment: concerts, carnival rides, lobster-themed food, lobster-themed clothes, and lobster-themed toys (50). In spite of that, he changes his attitude as he observes that the festival is actually promoting cruelty to animals and holds a long discussion whether or not lobsters can actually feel pain. Through the use of his language and description, Wallace convinces the audience as he claims to persuade the reader to stop eating lobsters, but he doesn’t explicitly say so at any point in the essay.

Imagine that a huge wave crashes down on you. Then it drags you back into the ocean. On your way you pass by an animal that is clinging on for dear life. In order to survive in these harsh conditions, animals need adaptations. An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. The California Spiny Lobster lives in the neritic e zone which is in between 200 meters and 0 meters. It is located on the continental shelf. They like living in coral reefs and the ocean ground. In order to survive in the neritic zone with predators, sea floor hiders, and other environmental threats, animals need adaptations.
Dave says that his father was his only hope and already we can see what his father means to him. He sees father as a glimmer of hope and his savior. However later on in the story Dave’s perspective changes. For example, on page 47 Dave says, “Father stood lifeless as mother fed me another dose of ammonia.” This shows how his father changed because of his mother.
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.
