JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" by Julie Brown; "Delicious" by Jim Backus & Friend]
Texts-- in all media-- are often read differently by different readers.
What is funny to one person can be offensive to another. One reader
"gets the message" while another wonders, "What's the point?" How does
the author of your literature analysis book use techniques such as
figurative language, parody, satire, and allusion to encourage the
reader to interpret the text? Is this more effective than coming right
out and telling the reader everything s/he needs to know? Explain your
answer.
