Figuring the Snark
As it first appeared in Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark, Snark it selves didn’t clearly described. Carroll left it as an unimaginable creature and let our imagination gives us our own Snark. However, it created lots of curiosity about Snark and off course, the poem it selves.
Lots of people come with their own theory about what kind of Snark look like. This created another term called Snark hunting. Off course it is not trying to catch the real Snark, since it is totally fiction, but trying to find the closer definition of Snark. There are lots of arguments about the Snark, from the linguistic aspects of Snark, Snark shape, and many more. One of the popular writings about Snark is The Annotated Snark by Martin Gardner. In his book, Gardner recorded that Lewis Carroll him selves admitted that he didn’t have clear picture about the Snark. He wanted everyone picture the Snark with their imagination.
It is very interesting that an imaginary poem could create enthusiasm to hunting the Snark. Just like written in the poem, the Snark is a peculiar creature that cannot be captured in a commonplace way. Above all, courage is required during a Snark hunt. Snark lives in your imagination and it needs your own courage to find it deep in your mind.

The term Snark first appeared in the Lewis Carroll’s famous poem, The Hunting of the Snark. In this poem, the Snark is a fictional creature with unimaginable shape. It is hard to catch and since it is believed that Snark taste good, it is worth to hunt.
