Consider the Lobster Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace gives detailed description of lobsters and how they are effected when it comes to being devoured. The Main Lobster Festival is the starting focus of this article it then articulates to a detailed description of what do into cooking a lobster and where they usually live. Wallace's main goal of this article was to get people to see the lobsters point of view. Wallace talks thoroughly about the purpose of this article, he starts off in a happy place and states how popular the main lobster festival is and slowly decreases in excitement when it mentions things like “however stuporous the lobster is from the trip home, for instance, it tends to come alarmingly to life when placed in boiling water. If you’re tilting it from a container into steaming kettle, the lobster will sometimes try to cling to the containers sides or even to hook its claws over the kettles rim like a person trying to keep form going over the edge of a roof.” This observation shows what the author is trying to pursue by giving description of those sorts but also bewilders us when mentioning that lobsters can't feel pain yet he continues to mention the guilty conscious of us when boiling the lobsters.
He brings up why the lobster was looked down on in the past because of it being a scavenger of the sea. There are lots of facts the author throws out at the audience that an everyday person might not know. This is how he keeps the reader interested. He also discusses why New England is so popular when it comes to lobsters

There being brush and a steep bank with boulders for the bass to hide and feed. We started by casting crank baits that would swim right pass the cover to trigger that hunger strike from a bass. It wasn’t long before I heard my partner yell “Get the net this is a salty headed dog” for some reason they called their big bass salty headed dogs. I grabbed the net and scooped up a nice 4 lb bass “Way to go partner” as I replied when I seen the size of the fish. I continued to cast at the bank making long cast for a deeper run of the crank bait.
The fact that you cannot see any land behind her helps to show how she is isolated. The without warning you see Chrissy get pulled under water by the shark. She gets pulled around and dragged about by the shark. The music in this shot is very high paced. The scene the turns back to the boyfriend who can not hear her screams, because he has passed out.
Or the creature’s claws scraping the sides of the kettle as it thrashes around (6). The above image is very realistic; on the other hand awful. Wallace expresses words in detail, and this visual image of the cooking lobster stand out to the audiences throughout the article. He clearly intends his readers to identify like they are exactly going through in detail process of cooking an epicure lobster meal. Therefore, most of the readers have a profound impression, feel guilty and momentarily oppose the idea of cooking a live creature.

In the essay "A View from a Bridge," the author, Cherokee Paul McDonald attempts to describe the world through words to a boy with no sight. McDonald uses very detailed descriptions of this account and in turn realizes that beauty is too often overlooked in everyday life. In McDonald's essay, he uses his experience fishing with a blind boy that he discovers as he is coming up over the Rio Vista neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale. In first person he uses dialogue to describe what the scenario of this fiction novel is.
