Wallace described lobster from different aspects: lobster as food, lobster as a living creature, and lobster as itself. Wallace seems to provide the audience an open choice to think about the issue of eating lobster, but he is, in fact, trying to make the audience feel guilty. The questions he asked, “Do you think much about the (possible) moral status and (probable) suffering of the animals involved?” It seems like he is raising awareness of the audience, he is actually make the audience to stand at the moral point of view and think the way he does under pressure (253). Moreover, he made the audience
The First way that humor strengthens Sedaris’s argument is by making himself likable to the readers. In ‘humor in an Argument “Lunsford, Ruszkiewicz, and Walters note ,”In fact, a little self-deprecation can endear writers or speaker to the toughest audiences.” (396). In this quote the editors illustrate how it is essential to get attention of most readers to keep them interested. In “The Chicken in The Henhouse” Sedaris jokes about his fears of being around people, as a result of people’s confusion about homosexuals with pedophiles. Accord “I have never poked or prodded either a baby or a child, so why did I feel so dirty?” (Sedaris 222) This quote supports the argument that homosexuals can not touch any child, because their acts, perhaps, would be compulsive rather than sexual, and they think that others are misunderstanding them.
“Consider the Lobster” David Foster Wallace, back in 2004, wrote an intellectually compelling essay for Gourmet magazine titled “Consider the Lobster.” Wallace is a post-modern writer who doesn’t like to be classified as such. Coming from a home of philosophers and going to graduate school for writing, Wallace has a well-rounded outlook on life, but strangely seems at times as if he resides in his own reality. In his non-fiction essays, he is unconsciously represented as an all seeing eye offering a clear depiction of what the scenario is; and this is what is happening in Consider the Lobster. As a whole, “Consider the Lobster” is a difficult essay to read due to the way Wallace writes. With being a professor of literature comes a large vocabulary of the English language, and it is very relevant that Wallace’s vocabulary is filled with large, complex words that can intimidate a freshman college student like myself.
Are Lobsters Pain-Free? “Is it all right to boil a sentient creature alive just for our gustatory pleasure?” David Foster Wallace, author of “Consider the Lobster” asks this question throughout his article. He explains how lobsters are considered as low class food because of its living conditions. Thus, most people do not consider the lobsters or simply do not care about them. He explains that killing a lobster for our own pleasure is not right; it is unethical.
Each of these chefs have their own way of approaching cooking and have a unique method for connecting with the audience for their productions. Starting with the way each chef approaches their production and their method of connecting with the audience, the methods between the 2 traditional chefs contrast vastly from the abnormal chefs. Anthony Bourdain appeases to an older, much more experienced audience on his production with his combination of adult humor and his exotic antics that he undergoes on each episode. Hannah Hart also appeals to a similar audience in her own way, using the same class of humor while also becoming obviously intoxicated during the course of each episode. Aside from their similar audiences, these chefs start to branch out with their use of ethos, pathos and logos.
He must recount the story in which he is left with the final option of killing the savage cook. After his account, Mr. Chiba confesses “What a horrible story” (99). Nevertheless, it is credible, which gives it an advantage over his original story with the animals. With the original story, the actions of the chef are shocking and even incredible. Yet, since they are fellow humans, Pi’s survival is more likely.
Showing violent action to demonstrate humor such as food fight, or spitting food at people represents slapstick hilarity at its finest. The scene also includes low comedy from the joke made at Bluto for being a pig and the energetic horseplay of the food fight. Another classic scene in Animal House is when Dean Wormer calls some of the students from the Delta fraternity into his office to read off their grade point averages. In this scene the element of low comedy is noticeably present. The classic line, “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life,” is manifested here, along with Blutos sight gag of having pencils up his nose after receiving his GPA of 0.0.
The fact that Algernon had been absentmindedly devouring the sandwiches the whole time and continues to after he tells Jack to not eat one helped Wilde make fun of how the people of that society were. Wilde used this to say that they were hypocritical people because when they knew something should not be done, they still did it anyways, yet they still looked down on other people that did it. After Jack is denied a cucumber sandwich, Algernon suggested bread and butter which was meant to be for Gwendelon. As Jack starts to eat it, Algernon remarks “you need not eat as if you were going to eat it all. You behave as if you were married to her already” (Wilde 31).

324)This quote here showsus as that the detectives have no idea that they are actually eating the evidence of the murder right then and there. We, as the audience, obviously know what is going on andby Mary Maloney chuckling at that statement shows us that Dahl turned something as horrible as murder into something that she laughs at in the end referring to the idea of dark comedy. Verbal irony is also represented in this piece of literature. When she goesto the market, she talks to the grocer and states, ³No, I’ve got meat, thanks. I got a niceleg of lam, from the freezer.´ (pg.
