One thing that I found that was interesting and brought up a new image of how I saw the poem was when someone said maybe the author is trying to relate what is happening to the lobsters to what might eventually end up happing to us. I admit at first I really didn't think much of it and actually I thought it was rather stupid. I mean how could we be plucked out of our homes just to be boiled to death and die? It didn't make much sense to me until I put further thought into it.
When I started putting my head to it I reffered it sort of to my religious beliefs. I'm a christian and as a christian we believe that when Jesus comes he takes us all to heaven. So I sort of accepted that part of the story of that we are taken out of our homes to pretty much die and then go to heaven. I didn't have an explanation for the being cooked to death but the other part made a lot of sense in my mind.

5 part paragraphs
To write a good 5 part paragraph there are several things that you have to do. To start you always need to have a strong topic sentence that says what your going out to prove. The topic sentence should include the title and the author within it. With concrete detail you don't want to over do it. Make sure your quotes are embedded and not to long because this can really lengthen your paragraph. Your quotes should be cited and in chronological order unless there is a reason for them not being. With commentary you want to give YOUR OWN opinion and make sure to NOT use plot summary. Notice how I capitalized those three words because that is something you do not want to do. Just make sure you use good transitions and make sure your conclusion ties in with your topic sentence.
For my next 5 part paragraph there are a few things that I need to improve. First, my transitions were pretty weak. I don't think first, next, and finally are very strong. Also I could have improved my word choice a little bit and that is for sure something I will fix. I also didn't embed my quotes on all of them. I think I did one but didn't get to the other two. Besides those things I believe my paragraph was strong, but my next one will be even better.
