Sadness, Tears, and Broken Rules in Writing
Rule 6: In the exerpt from Cather in the Rye, J.D. Salinger, utilizes a use of simple, but complex vocabulary. http://barrellxc2012.blogspot.com/
Rule 1: On the subject of his parents, he says "they're touchy as hell." http://laughapalooza22.blogspot.com/
Rule 4: Also, the matter of fact way Baker describes the lobby makes the reader sense that this is somewhere to not be impressed with, its an everyday occurrence. http://skullandglossbones3.blogspot.com/
Rule 3: Although the language is simple in usage, it builds upon itself and becomes figuratively advanced. http://bookworm-days.blogspot.com/
I found that one of the best excerpts came from Intrusion of the Soul.
In this excerpt from his novel "Catcher in the Rye", J. D. Salinger's common and vulgar diction expresses the irksome discontent the protagonist has for the world. He excessively uses expletives and demonstrates the only implication of a simile is when something is compared to "as hell". This and his irritation of his current situation and Hollywood convey his resentful irritation of the artificiality which lies heavily in society. His employment of the hyperbole that his "parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything personal about them" underscore his hostile attitude toward their preoccupied parenting style and dark secrets they want kept hidden. The easily readable syntax invites the reader into Holden's world of aggravation. http://mallorymills94.blogspot.com/
Irksome is a great word.
