- Corollary: An immediate consequence or easily drawn conclusion. noun, (8).
- Deftly: Dexterous; nimble; skillful; clever: deft hands; a deft mechanic. adverb, (15).
Figurative Language
- Imagery: "The time your child spends trying to figure them (the rules) out is time he won't be stapling firecrackers to the neighbor's dog" (11). This is imagery because it paints a vivid picture of this action in my mind.
- Metaphore: "Divorce is maritial welfare" (14). This is a metaphore because it compares divorce to maritial welfare without using like or as.
- Simile: "They look like lizards" (22). This is a simile because it uses the word like to compare old people and lizards.
Quote
- "One of Pop's most important jobs is protecting his little family. That's why he needs to sleep with that 9mm under his pillow. And pack it with hollow point bullets. At the least sign of movement in his castle past 8PM, he should wake up firing. Let God, Allah, or Hanuman the monkey god sort them out, am I right?" (8). This quote is significant because it is funny, and the whole book is funny. To an extent, this book is a joke, so I thought this small paragraph might summarize the book at this point.
Theme
- The theme of this book so far is Colbert's views on America and its society.
