In the discussion, people had very good, meaningful things to say. My favorite comment that was made was near the end of the discussion. It wasn't the most deep statement, but when you thought about it it made a lot of sense and was very clever. It had something to do with how Lobsters are all different and how that is related to people. People are different colors, genders, shapes and sizes and so are lobsters. I can't quite remember, but this statement had something to do with how lobsters are innocent and taken away so suddenly from their home to a life that is slowy stopping. Thats how humans are. With all the things in the world, violence, plain circumstance, and other stuff, we can have our lives taken away from us at anytime with us having a say in it.
After this discussion, I learned some new things about poetry. I learned how to annotate and analyze it and I learned each poet and poem is trying to express something. Like in Lobsters. This poem makes a somewhat scary, inevitable and true statement but it is a statement we all can embrace. The statement is death is going to happen, whether we like it or not, but we have to accept it and make the best of our lives before that happens, because any day is a day we can stop living.
