>'…Indeed, the passage in which Count Crab tearfully (as if seeing a crab cry isn't heart-breaking enough) admonishes his creator for messing with Nature's Plan is as elegiac a declamation of individual freedom as anything in Shelley's greatly over-rated Frankenstein, and, for me, ranks along side the civil rights statements of Luther King and Malcolm X in terms of its sheer lyricism.' - John Henry (from the article 'A Crab Hand at Horror', published in the internet fanzine Peeping John.

We'll be discussing the three chapters tonight. The book itself is only 104 pages so please resist reading too fast!

Here are some questions to get you thinking about _Night of the Crabs_:

1. What was Guy N. Smith's intention in making a crab(s), and by extension, all of nature his antagonist?

2. What life lesson are we supposed to take away from the first three chapters?

3. List three symbols that Smith uses in the course of telling the story, and examine their effect on the narrative.

> implying I even intended to fool anyone

there is trolling when you try to hid the fact that you're trolling, and then there's trolling (maybe meta-trolling?) where you make it obvious that your trolling, for various purposes. Either way, you just got trolled, butthole sniffer.

I am a snob on the internet Tue Oct 18 14:34:34 2011 No.2146165

Let's get back to the discussion guys. Here are my answers to the questions.

1. I refuse to answer this question because it is not about literature or art but rather your own illusory and romantic conception of the artist.

2. I'm not sure I know what you mean by "supposed to" but you seem to be hinting at much of the same thing you were with the first question. Also, this seems like the wrong book to look for "life lessons" in. I think you want the self help/new age spirituality section. This appears to be a pulpy horror novel.

3. Smith does not use any symbols, as the text has been birthed and is now completely disconnected from him.

I can't believe I'm so much smarter than everyone on here. Even deep and edgy is crushed under my gigantic intellectual balls, and my scrotum suffocates him.
