.... her Catholic faith. Taught to revere his father, he can't help but see that Simon Dedalus is a drunken failure. Unhappy as a perpetual outsider, he lacks the warmth to engage in true friendship.

.... around the building to witness this event. While waiting for his "flight" or jump a woman in a contralto voice begins to sing the words "O Sugarman done fly away/ Sugarman done gone/ Sugarman cut across the sky/ Sugarman gone home…"(6) This lady simply describes Robert Smith’s flight "home" which we later learn is really him committing suicide.

.... Hightower realizes that he must keep his language simple and familiar. His choice of vocabulary never includes any large or rare words without explanation. This helps the reader to remain focused on the message of the text, not trying to fumble through a dictionary. His language also includes slang and foul words which help illustrate opinions on certain topics. For example, "Liberal Media, my ass" clearly shows his disbelief of the idea that the media is liberal (125-130). Not only is this helpful to an uneducated reader by using common slang language, but the use of a foul word help to explain the severity of the issue. A reader .....
