Personally, I was absent the day we discussed "Lobsters", therefore don't have much to say about it. None-the-less it meant more to me than "The Knife" did.
To be honest, "The Knife" really grossed me out. I don't do well with blood, or anything too descriptive on gory subjects, so as it was being read aloud I was pretty much gagging to myself and not paying much attention to the poetic view of the piece. I don't remember much of the discussion, aside from the fact that I should have said more.
In the make-up discussion for "Lobsters", I plan to introduce my theory that the author used "bruised purple" and "cadaver green" as the lobsters colors to express their nearly lifeless bodies; for they're destined to die in a short matter of time.
"Lobsters" made me realize that every day is a blessing, but everything could be taken away in the blink of an eye. Just like the lobsters that anticipate their death in our local Albertson's. Bless them.
