Close Reading Bingo

The best blog about diction that I came across was A Scrap of Parchment. My favorite sentence was "Furthermore, sentence fragments, such as, "One of those little English jobs that can do around two hundred miles an hour," destroy any last vestige of formality, further developing the aura of simply telling a story to a friend."

The blog Underwater has a #6 weakness in the following quote:"
Therefore, the author uses tone to show the criticism."

The blog Peanut Butter without the Jelly has a #7 weakness in the following quote:"
With the use of his realistic descriptions, the promt was easily visualized."

The blog New Zealander has a #9 weakness in the following quote: "They too convey the narrator's "crumby" perspective on others' lives and successes. " But instead of this, the person uses they, but its basically the same thing.

The blog T-Rex has a #2 weakness in the following quote: ""Turned toward the escalators, carrying a black Penguin paperback and a small white CVS bag, its receipt stapled over the top," describes the harsh clattering of the setting."
