LOBSTERS ARE NOT HUMANS!!!

how do you feel about boiling lobsters alive now?

In our discussion on the poem "Lobsters", many ideas were brought up that widened my interpretation of said poem. But the idea that was brought up the most was the comparing of the lobsters to humans, and how humans are the ones being 'herded' around. Well, I really wish I had said this in the discussion, my idea was that the lobsters don't represent humans, but everything we humans take that we don't need. And that 'everything' means everything, from lobsters to laptops to Lincoln Logs (running out of L words). There was also the idea of 'the flame beneath the pot that boils the water' being the hard workers of society who don't get any credit. I disagree. I believe the flame is the wastefulness of us humans, who boil the water to kill the innocent lobster for an unnecessary meal.

It's Double Time!!! (kinda)

As I have neglected to have anything to do with my blog for the last three weeks or so, and a blog post is not required this week, I will attempt to combine two posts into one, hopefully fulfilling both requirements as I scramble for any leftover credit, no matter how small.

The first post, I believe, was one that required a level of diction. If you have not inferred as to which I am using, I will make this very obvious. Formal diction. Or, at least, an attempt at it. The other part of this post, if my memory suffices, is to write about something that happened to me this past week, in said diction. Well, this past week was like any other week in high school, besides the Veteran’s Day schedule and the day away from school yesterday. Apart from those, nothing really substantial happened. There were a few tests, a pop quiz, and some projects. I believe the most interesting event that occurred within the past week was the bingo game earlier today, as I spent Veteran’s Day and most of last weekend doing absolutely nothing.

As I have just described my dull week, I will move on to the next post I have neglected. While I compose this second half of my double-post, I will remain writing in high diction to begin to fulfill the two paragraph requirement. Anyway, the problem that occurred most in the five-part paragraphs was probably the lack of transition sentences. Coming in close second, neglecting to embed quotes. Now, all of this happened about a week ago, and I was very sleep-deprived, so this is all very stale in my mind. And I do not expect to receive very many points on this post anyway, so I bid you all ‘Adieu’ for now!
