Figurative Language

1. Imagery: "Greased up naked men slapping hot sweaty body parts against one another's taut and hairless flesh in pursuit of victory" (81). This is an example of imagery because it uses the five sentances to describe what is happening. Well, at least sight, sound, smell and touch. I'm sorry I had to use this quote fore it is quite disturbing...
2. Metaphore: "Sex is power" (87). This is a metaphore because it is comparing sex and power without using like or as.
3. Onomonopia: "Whooo hooo" (83). This is an anomonopia because it is words describing a sound.

1. "If you think temporary tattoos are okay, perhapse I can interest you in some temporary eternal damnation" (89). This quote is significant because it explains mostly how conservative Sterphen Colbert's views expressed in this book are.

Theme

1. The theme of this book at the moment is sex and dating. Stephen is talking about how and why both humans and animals have sex, which is kinda of awkward to read. But, it is doable because of how funny he makes it and his mock seriousness can be nearly unnerving at times.
