In the main character, Dennis’s voice. To my opinion I really enjoyed the novel I have read. Pete Hauntman is way of writing really catches your intention, and keeps me on the edge of me seat.

I was lucky.” The main highlighted purpose I observed in this story was the use of expression as well as comparison and contrast and a second pattern of illustration to describe how he became such a great writer in his life. Throughout the story, I found the author uses the expressive purpose when he reveals himself as a low class trying to survive when he says, “We were poor by most standards.” He then goes on giving a second example of expressive purpose when he clearly shares the same interest as his father by saying, “My father loved books, and since I loved my father with an aching devotion, I decided to love books as well.” These two examples are very clear to me that Alexie is expressing his feelings as well as revealing himself to the reader by describing his economic status as a child, as well as his emotions of loving his father and books.

His story is about a misunderstood man who truly craves a fulfilled life.
This type of friend, in either category, knows when what’s being asked of them is too far; they are also those who want to see the best in you and will always be by your side, even when the going gets tough. Most of all, a true friendship is a mutual symbiotic relationship and it’s these relationships that are an essential part of life because friends help us through tough situations, they offer hope make someone feel worthwhile.

Many novels in this genre tackle personal issues such as dating, relationships, weight issues, life issues and many more. Often told from a point of view that pulls the audience in as if the narrator is confiding in them, Chick Lit novels offer something to identify with, and a great percentage of the audience take comfort from this.
