I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do in this job, so I tried my best to do it fully.
I was supposed to pick paragraphs or sentences that are funny, interesting, strange etc.
1. "It was hotter than blazes in South Dakota."
I chose this sentence because I find the description of the weather and the temperature very interesting and I like the fact that the author compared the temperature with something else (which also made it more interesting).
~ Blazes are usually things that are very hot, burning (most times blazes are fires)
2. "In the course of a lifetime, why does it matter?"
I chose to write this sentence down because I think it is very powerful and very deep. The reason why this sentence is so powerful because it shows deep thought and deep emotions. Due to the fact that people have many different beliefs and opinions, there isn't really the right answer to this question.
3. "Next Mrs. Cadaver slashed and sliced at a pitiful rosebush that had been trying to creep up the side of her house."
I chose this sentence because I found it really entertaining because of the description of Mrs. Cadaver's action. I also like the words the author used for the rosebush and Mrs. Cadaver. The way the author described the way the rosebush was "creeping" up the side of the house was also very interesting and different.
4. "Mr. Brikway bounded around the room as if the opportunity to teach us was his notion of paradise."
I chose this one because I think it is serious yet the author wrote it in a silly and funny way. I really liked this sentence because it kind of teases Mr. Brikway in a way that wouldn't be so obvious in the first place.
