Assonance
- page 151: " A guy who can't get his act together and just drives around town all day and can't think of any damn place to go and doesn't know how to get there anyway."
Assonance allows for description. Details is an important part of this book because it is what draws the reader in. It yet again engages them in the story because they feel as if they are a part of the story. Instead of reading, they are taking part with the chracters. Experiencing what they experience. This example of assonance shows how O'Brien used different ways to make his work flow smoothly and catch the reader's attention. I noticed this because I am used to seeing alliteration all over, but assonance is not usually there. This is just a different way for him to write, which is good because it keeps us reading. Also, it makes the book not mundane. Rather, I found it interesting because I like to see how the author uses different techniques for description, characterization, and sentence flow.
