Something Interesting

       During the discussion on the poem "Lobsters" interesting ideas were brought up like the fire under the pot meaning death or even life. The most common idea brought up was how the lobster and us the  inlanders were some how the same. We are both locked up in a cage hoping not to get picked next.

       We don't understand the lobsters as more then just food, but I think that's the authors point. The author wants us to look deep into the poem and start to look at the lobster as more then dinner but as a living creature just like us. I don't think the author meant stop eating lobster but when you see them at the store just try to understand them.

So Many Paragraphs, So Many Skills

       These past few weeks we have been reading our five part paragraphs in front of the class while they critique our paragraphs.This is no problem for those people who are fine with talking in front of the class but for the rest like my self it's not a happy experience. Common negative critiques on the class are little things like spelling or the order of the quotes even not having any page numbers. Some common positive critiques that came up were having lots of detailed CM, and having well chosen vocabulary.

       For my paragraph to get better I need to work on embedding my quotes. I didn't even focus on embedding my quotes so I think if I actually focus on it then it will be an easy fix. Another thing I could fix would be to proof read my paper before turning it in. So if I embed my quotes and proof read my paragraph I believe my five part paragraph will really improve.
