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.
