Responce #3-LI [Late]
Pages 137-272
Below is my required "Literary Illuminator" entry, but before I continue with that I remember Crystal saying that she expected something... more than just lists of words and colourful phrases. So, I decided to add my own point of view on he "language" used in Saving Cascadia.
According to Crystal this is Fast-Food literature. I thought that John J. Nance used a much more literal sense in writing... there wasn't a huge amount of figurative language or other colourful phrases. Occasionally there was a use of colourful phrases but for the most part everything was very, very, very literal. I could probably point out quite a few places where Nance could have used more colourful phrasing. Nance used a lot of words I couldn't identify... I had a great deal of fun looking up tons of words in the dictionary, it gave me practice at easily looking up words more efficiently. Though this book is a hard read and more for the adult type of reader I really enjoy reading this and I have learned so much from it.
Back to the requirements...
Interesting words that I found:
Page151 Irrefutable; impossible to deny or disprove
Page158 Cavalier; showing a lack of proper concern
Page165 Scrutinized; examine or inspect closely and thoroughly
Page168 Archipelago; a group of islands
Page172 Indefatigable; persisting tirelessly
Page189 Lahar; a destructional mudflow on the slopes of a volcano
Page194 Inaugural; marking the begining of an activity
Page204 Keelhaul; punish or repremand severely
Page205 Potentate; a monarch or ruler
Page208 Risque; slightly indecent or liable to shock
Page219 Cantilevered; a projecting structure such as a beam
Page240 Gyrations; rotation: a single complete turn
Colourful phrases and figurative language, through, not a lot:
Page141 ...flipping over, the assaulted blades departing the helicopter's mast and flying like missles in two directions as the cabin split open.
Page227 "Your instructional style was a bit on the side of Attila the Hun, but all in all you're a master."
Cool/key/et ctera... quotes:
Page175 "Since when does a sustained attempt to wreck a man's life for the purpose of saving a mangy flock of common sparrows on a water soaked-rock and espousing a lunatic theory about tiny vibrations setting of earthquakes constitute being respectful?" Mick Walker
Page192 "First, a monstrous subduction zone earthquake lasting up to five minutes and registering more than 9.5 on the Moment Magnitude Scale; second, subsidence of my island by as much as five feet within minutes during the main quake; and third, a backwash tsunami-my term, not his-sich could give us a massive thirty foot wall of water over this place within five minutes of the quake" Mick Walker
