Today we analyzed and discussed a strange but cool poem, "Attack of the Crab Monsters" by Lawerence Raab. After reading and annotating it independently, you got into small groups and discussed it together. Each group shared their notes and interpretations, and then we watched a short video clip about the poem and discussed its connections to the novel. If you were absent, download the poem below, annotate it, and answer the following questions: 1. Who (or what) is the speaker? Who do you think he/she is referring to?
2. What is the tone of this poem? (underline words or phrases that you think contributes to the tone.)
3. What do you think is the overall meaning or message of the poem? What do you think the speaker is talking about?
4. What specific connections can you make to The Beach? (hint: think themes and also physical space...)
