Which Probably Not Enough Has Been Removed By David Foster Wallace
David Foster Wallace’s style is very unusual as he uses different types of writing techniques to get his point across. For example, in the book Some Remarks on Kafka’s Funniness from Which Probably Not Enough Has Been Removed, the quote : “Both depend on what communications theorists sometimes call exformation, which is a certain quantity of vital information removed from but evoked by a communication in such a way as to cause a kind of explosion of associative connection with the recipient* ” shows how Wallace incorporates footnotes within his writings.Footnotes help explain a certain concept by elaborating on a specific points. Whenever the reader wants to know more information, he or she could refer to the footnotes. As in the example above

    Both essays also made very good use of literary devices. American History used literary devices like plot, conflict, climax, protagonist and antagonist, and irony to help tell the story. A Clack of Tiny Sparks: Remembrances of a Gay Boyhood also made very good use of most of the same literary devices but rather then the obvious use of irony like in American History, this essay used symbolism. Both essays used literary devices to keep their readers engaged and feeling as though they can relate to the characters of the essays.…

    Ray Bradbury uses dialogue to draw out a conversation between the characters in the story. For example “George I wish you’d look at the nursery.”’ What's Wrong with it?”” I don’t know” ( Bradbury 1). This craft move is great it does not only make the story longer it also makes the reader like me think what are they talking about because it was at the beginning…

    Throughout the centuries, there have been an infinite amount of literary works written by a sea of authors that write a variety of genres. All of these works are precious in their own way, and even if their theme is similar to that of another, the author always ads a bit of his/her own flare in order to make said literary creation unique in some way. William Wordsworth’s “London 1802” and Paul Laurence Dunbar’s “Douglass”, although quite similar in form and sentence structure, do add their own flare through the use of specific details. Through the use of these devices, the speakers show their disgust for the evil deeds humans do and attempt to change them.…

    Have you ever woken up sleep-deprived after a long night of reading an intriguing story? I definitely have. The reason these stories are such page-turners is because of the author’s excellent use of literary devices. Writers often use literary devices in their work in order to make a story more alluring and thought-provoking rather than languid and mundane.…

    However, Wallace’s determination to come across as someone that is intellectual really just begins to sound pretentious. Thus, further proving my point of intellect being determined individually (as there is a thin line between intellect and being pretentious). While Wallace may see this essay as a way of proving how “smart” he is while contradicting his very argument with slang, he forgets that the reader may find him annoying and flamboyant of his education. As a result, he is establishing a sense of ethical appeal amongst readers. That very ethical appeal being the establishment of his education and intellect.…

    5) By literal thinking foster is talking about how a writer can focus on a story and skill bring in ideas from outside sources. This helps me rethink the role of a writer’s intentionality because it shows that they can put in things into a book or a character’s development that may not have much to do with the book and readers can find things that they overlooked the first…

    Recently I read Frances Childs news article and personally I couldn’t be any more outraged than I am now, with her choice of words. Yes she’s identified an issue with today’s generation, but the way in which she puts this across is exaggerating the truth. I find it hard to believe how such a poorly written article managed to get published in this day and age, without being rectified.…
