What is the literal meaning of the poem lobster by Anne sexton

English
1 answer:
lidiya [134]2 years ago
3 0

Literal meaning of the poem is that there is a lobster in world that does not understand the world of humans and lives its life unknowing of it.

Explanation:

The lobster is called 'A shoe with legs, ' in the very first line of the poem and then it is called to be  'a stone dropped from heaven'.

From then on many comparisons are made and it is shown that the lobster is blissfully unaware of the life of humans, their quirks and how they spend their time in their world as it blissfully lives in its life  without being bothered.

It is him that also doesn't know that these humans have a completely different idea of him that he has of himself and remains blissfully oblivious until its end.

Man vs Man


There are 5 types of conflicts in literature:

1) Man vs Man/Character vs Character

2) Man vs Nature

3) Man vs Society

4) Man vs Self

5) Man vs Technology


The conflict is described as Man vs Man because they fight against each other, and the antagonist is stopping the protagonist from doing what they are wanting to.

I hope that helps! :)

Select the correct text in the passage.
balandron [24]

Answer:

his father's restaurant every summer since he was eight years old, and now finally, at 15, he had landed a real job. On most mornings, he let

the throngs of people become a blur around him as he steered the heavy rack of swinging suits down the sidewalk careful not to run over

any toes. But today, he happened to glance up and spy a familiar face. There at the street corner stood Pauls father, looking oddly small and

frail amid the rushing people? I'm not sure

The mirror changes into ____
Zina [86]

The correct answer is B. a lake, to suggest deeper meaning. The mirror as such is a metaphor of feminine frailty and insecurity; however, when it turns into a lake, it transcends that meaning and evolves into a metaphor of aging, time and change. It doesn't turn into a woman; it just shows the woman's transformation from a young girl into an old woman.
