Red Lobster: A Short Story

Show More
On Tuesday, I was back in downtown Silver Spring for another lunch get together but this time with my close friends Heather, Angela and Angela’s new boyfriend, Nick. The two of them hadn’t been dating very long, and Angela wanted Heather and me to meet him and give our opinion. We decided eat at Red Lobster. I’ll say this much, it was very easy to communicate with Nick, because he loves to talk. He strikes me as the kind of person who always has to be “on” all the time. He’s got a very silly personality, but so do I sometimes, so he and I bonded that way. We were each joking around with each other as if we have been friends for years. You know, typical “guy humor”. Any person that can get me to laugh this someone I take an instant liking to.

In both "Food Inc." and "Consider the Lobster," we are presented the advancement humans has gone when dealing with the food industry.

    Lobster Night Analysis

    Survival and vulnerability are two themes which appear totally independent of one another, yet both are universal human experiences which often coexist and influence an individual’s behaviour. It is human instinct to survive in dangerous situations, to protect oneself from potential harm. It is also human instinct to hide one’s vulnerability from others out of fear of those vulnerabilities being used against them. In Russell Banks’s short story “Lobster Night” he explores the relationship between gender politics, survival, and vulnerability when Stacy and Noonan reveal personal stories of weakness and survival to each other. Despite this newfound connection built between the two characters when both Stacy and Noonan expose their vulnerability,…
