    How the Lobster Became Fancy is an article written by Daniel Luzer and published by Pacific Standard Magazine. Although this article is intended to be an informal magazine article, it presents a lot of valid points on why David Foster Wallace wrote about “Consider(ing) the Lobster”, and supports the argument with other sources and a well-spoken opinion. The article is presented in a timeline, beginning from the start of when the lobster was first eaten as food – in the year 1622 as a food for prisoners and the extreme impoverish – and finishes to where we are now, and why we continue to treat lobster as a luxury food. Its conclusion and purpose is very clearly stated in the bold letters near the start of the article: “Lobster might seem to taste better to us because it’s so expensive.” (Luzer 4).…

    Jackie French’s descriptive historical extract ‘Nanberry Black Brother White’ uses a native animal (an o’possum) as an allegorical representation for what happens to the indigenous when the English come and take over their land as well as their culture. After the invasion of the English, readers are open to discover that the most important message Nanberry’s story highlights is his entrapment within the two cultures and the the o’possum is brought into the story to exemplify Nanberry’s situation, being forced to fit in to another culture. In addition, both nanberry and the o’possum try their best to acclimatize into the new way of life, still retaining some of the native traditions.

    Well as my colleagues have already talked about many other allusions in John Steinbeck’s book Of Mice and Men I have just one question for you. Why do we need allusions in the stories we read? To put it simply as Mr. Frank Deford would say “the proof is in the pudding.” Or in our case the connections weaved not only throughout John Steinbeck’s book Of Mice and Men, but also throughout Arthurian Legends. As we take a closer look at how the Holy Grail, femme fatale character, and fellowship it will reveal not only the connections, but also help to give an answer to my earlier…

    In "The Stripes Will Survive" by Jacqueline Adams, "The Zoos Go Wild" by Nicholas Nirgiotis and Theodore Nirgiotis, and the video “Behind The Scenes with the National Zoo’s Lion Cubs”, all of the texts claim that the role of zoos is to protect animals from extinction or from harmful things in the wild. Whether certain animals have potentially fatal diseases or are disabled in some way, zoo keepers are there to protect the animals and help them grow and strive in areas where they are not skilled. In "The Stripes Will Survive", the text explains what specialists are doing to prevent the extinction of Siberian tigers. Two twin Siberian tigers are included in the story to help the text flow into saying what is being done to help these endangered species. This nonfictional story is an example of how the role of zoos is to protect animals.…
