The essay, “Consider the Lobster”, written by David Foster Wallace is about him visiting the Maine Lobster Festival. He believes that the festival is more than about the food and entertainment. First, he goes into very specific details explaining the lobster. He stated, “Lobsters are both hunters and scavengers”, (page 2). I believe that the main purpose of the article is to tell people to look at reality and consider the lobster on what they have to go through to be cooked and eating. He believes that “the whole animal –cruelty-and-eating is not just complex, it’s also uncomfortable”, (page 5). He believes that animals should not be killed, cooked, or eating. There are things besides animals that could be eating to keep people happy
