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.

Discuss the symbolic nature of the chalk in Brother Leon’s hands.<br> - in the chocolate war book
Gelneren [198K]

In The Chocolate War, the symbolic nature of the chalk in Brother Leon's hands was to convey a powerful message to the reader that he was merciless.

<h3>What is a literary symbol?</h3>

A literary symbol is a mark, sign, or word that is used to represent an idea, object, or relationship beyond the ordinary meaning.

For instance, as a horrible man, Brother Leon holding chalk shows that he has no mercy as a powerful school administrator.

Brother Leon uses quid-pro-quo in his own evil way.

Thus, in <em>The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier</em>, the symbolic nature of the chalk in Brother Leon's hands was to convey a powerful message to the reader that he was merciless.
