Point of View - meaning Summary
Dinner's Point of View
The poem playfully urges readers to imagine common holiday and everyday meals from the animals' perspective. By flipping viewpoint—turkey at Thanksgiving, chicken at Sunday dinner, fish and meat generally—it exposes the moral awkwardness of eating creatures we enjoy. The tone is wry and lightly persuasive, prompting a brief moral reconsideration through humor rather than heavy argument.
