Before going on any further into horrifying details, how does it feel to read this passage in the perspective of lobsters killing and eating humans? Humans dominate this world more than any other species and they think that eating anything they want isn't considered merciless to the food(even though at some point in time, some foods were living things, living normal lives like the humans). While people read this, they are probably horrified about how the merciless lobsters-if they were the rulers of the world-could eat humans so easily as if it's no biggie. It's obviously not considered as bad of a thing nowadays because many people eat meat such as beef, chicken, and pork normally. However, people should consider altering their idea that killing and eating any living thing to eat for their own satisfaction is always alright.

It's Not Okay for Kookie to Be Consumed
Two lobsters were enjoying a regular fine day one evening. Sitting around doing nothing, hunger slowly crept into their stomachs. Opening their fridge they took out a "fresh"(669) human baby. Babies being "slightly cheaper"(669) than the full-course meal of a human adult, the lobsters had no choice but to pick the baby over the adult because of the overly expensiveness of it. They pondered and constantly thought about how they should cook up their meal. To "bake, broil, steam, grill, sautée, stir-fry, or microwave"(669). After a while they thought that "boiling, the most common and easy method"(669) should fix up their meal well. Not being able to think straight at this point-because of their increasing hunger-they hurriedly filled their kettle with about "2.5 quarts of water"(670) and "add[ed] two tbsp of salt per quart"(670). Once the water started to boil, they put in their "food" into the irresistibly hot water. The two lobsters were desperately waiting to eat their finalized meal but "hear[d] the cover [of the kettle] rattling and clanking as the baby trie[d] to push it off" and live to see daylight again.

ReplyDeleteThat was so interesting! I loved the switch you made between the humans and the lobsters. The comic really helped demonstrate its absurdity. Good job!
DeleteMichelle! This was a very eye-opening post that took the conundrum Wallace that presents. Your cartoon and place switch between humans and lobsters really does show how certain behaviors are a bit slanted. Really nice use of textual evidence, by the way. Great post!
