Another reason this novel is well written is because it’s comedic. It’s funny and entertaining. Not everything in this novel is a joke, but the way the main character, Violet, explains her thoughts and thinks about everyday happenings is very entertaining and could probably make lots of people chuckle. Books with a hint of comedy are slightly hard to come by. It’s easy to find a cheesy book that is so cheesy it isn’t even funny and books that are so serious that you could read the entire novel cover to cover without a single facial expression.

They were more like decoration, really, a splay of beads crowded above her chelicerae (April 4-5). Another comical way he
Anzaldua Inquiry The text written by Anzaldua is a patchwork, “an assemblage, a montage, a beaded work, … a crazy dance.” To create this medley, Anzaldua uses a variety of culture-specific language, literature, and references. Throughout the whole piece she switches the language between a mixture of English and Chicano Spanish. When speaking about what her native tongue is, Anzaldua refers to the corridos that were popular, such as the ones about John F. Kennedy and his death; she tells how it was frowned upon to like the ethnic music, but she enjoyed the corridos very much. These reflect the dual cultural structures interlocking into one. Through stories, Anzaldua establishes herself as an outsider.
The book uses a selection of printed numbers and pictures to represent different numbers. I enjoyed how the pages were cut in half; the top half being printed numbers and the second half being colourful fruits. I chose this book as I love that it encourages the children to join in and teaches them how to correspond printed numbers with objects, it also provides children with a fun activity. The illustrations are brightly coloured and bold to entice the children and I can appreciate that there are many activities that can extend the main focus of this book; therefore it is a practical book to use within settings. The only main implications I have with this book is the format; you have to flip between the pages to match the numbers up with.
English 101 Essay #1 Humor as a Rhetorical Startagy Known for her award winning novel "Shell Shaker" a book with a collection of Native American Poems and short stories, Leanne Howe uses a couple of her poems from her book to address cultural, racial, historical, emotional and political problems surrounding Native American mascots and perceptions.

In the novel of Strange Objects, Gary Crew uses a variety of binaries to creatively force the reader into examining his points of view.

Hemingway termed this technique as the Iceberg Theory. Hemingway was certainly successful in achieving what he thought an ideal writer’s style should be which is, “direct and personal, his imagery rich and earthy, and his words are simple and vigorous, burnished and uniquely brilliant”. The concept of the Hemingway hero or “code hero” is also another product of Hemingway’s style. When his novels were first published, the public readily accepted them and they are still being praised today. Hemingway has used his style to captivate readers of the novel The Sun Also Rises with the use of his most famous and praised concepts and theories to highlight the complex characterization, symbolism, themes, the setting and motifs throughout The Sun Also Rises which definitely kept the reader entertained.
