This response demonstrates an understanding of the complexities of the texts. The selection of the bottom photograph (ghost crabs similarly situated - battling the powerful tide) and the idea of "the simple beauty of the crabs" are supported by expressed information ('ghost crab lying in a pit he had dug just above the surf;' 'a creature in its own world'). Moving beyond the literal, the student clarifies and extends understanding through an in-depth interpretation of the photograph (symbolize the power of outside forces in Carson's essay; triumph of life over the 'harsh realities;' embodies the world of ideas about life itself that Carson strives to describe).
