Blog Post #6 - Consider the Lobster

In reading the article, Consider the Lobster, I thought it was planned out well. He started it off by informing the reader on what the Maine Lobster Festival was and then moved into what goes on if you were to go the event yourself. He makes it seem almost as if it were a research paper on what the definition of Lobster means and physical being of a lobster. However, he later includes his own personality into the piece to make the article his own. This creates a better sense of entertainment that kept me wanting to read more. The question that he later possesses in the article is whether it is okay to boil a lobster alive for our own pallet pleasure? He not only gives his own opinion on the article, but he also gives the opposite side the argument as well so as the reader, you have the option of making your own opinion about it as well. Therefore, I think the structure of the article is put together well. Giving enough information about the event and the lobster itself helps give the reader enough to form an opinion for themselves as well.
