In This is Water, written by David Foster Wallace, the first paragraph consists of a short story about two young fish and an older fish. As the older fish passes by, he asks, “Morning, boys, how’s the water?” After swimming for a bit, one of the younger fish turns to the other and asks, “What the hell is water?” The purpose of this short story is to point out the fact that we are not always fully aware of our surroundings. It is human nature to live in our own little bubble, to consider our own…

however, it becomes evident that David Foster Wallace does not sing the festival’s praises or provide insider tips. In spite of his unconventional viewpoint, he does more than delve into the history of lobsters and question the way they are prepared; he uses the festival as a vessel to allude to the commonplace atrocities and overlooked injustices in American culture. In his derisive article, Wallace explores the moral and ethical implications…

In “Consider The Lobster,” David Foster Wallace offers an interestingly ironic perspective on the intent of a creator when it comes to literature. As an author, Wallace has an insider’s perspective as to how audiences should be treating and accepting various forms of literature. On the surface, “Consider The Lobster” is an essay about the unimaginable treatment of lobsters in the Maine Lobster Festival which has an incredible lasting impact on the reader, leading them to feel an extreme amount…

“Twenty of us were there, crowded into that little room, and though I had been to such talks before, I was enchanted.” Bruce Ballenger writes a very well rounded passage about the owner of Mount Desert Oceanarium whose name is David Mills. Ballenger shares with the reader how Mills began the museum of marine life and how he spreads his knowledge to others.

It is my belief that David Foster Wallace’s speech, This Is Water, reflects the importance of education and human consciousness. This blurb relates to the phrase “ignorance is bliss”. The proverb about fish may be readily applicable to humans living in the twenty-first century. The uneducated are the fish that do not know what water is, and knowledge is the fish that asks them “How's the water?” Many people avoid concerning themselves with various subjects when they do not learn the details of…
