Blog 5: Considering the Lobster

David Wallace’s magazine article “Consider the Lobster” goes into incredible detail about Maine’s Lobster Festival and everything that encompasses it. From the anatomy of the Maine lobster to being in the Main Eating Tent to some questions about animal rights, everything you need to know is in this article. However, Wallace doesn’t just talk about MLF in this article. He also discusses ethical concerns with cooking lobster in such a fashion. This is an interesting topic of discussion and shines a different light on MFL. This is a great model text for Project 2 as clearly a lot of research had to have been done for this article. Anybody reading this article will notice the extravagant details and the many footnotes that accompany them. While writing Project 2, I plan on writing about different perspectives and going beyond the prompt while still remaining on topic. I’ll also work on integrating my research seamlessly into my paper as Wallace did.
