Document Summary
Playing off of mockery of typical hyperbole in young adult novels. Rowdy and gordy recognize jr. "s obsession with penelope and her whiteness - his own racism. Jr. "s comments of general statements of indians and whites - blanket statements (153) Death - laughter and tears = same thing. Anaphora: and = beginning of most sentences - adding on/list -> united collective at end. Could be angry - what"s expected - laugh instead. Takes laughter seriously - reader doesn"t laugh. Invisible distinctions between white and indians - different reasons for laughter (team laughing with jr. ) World = 2 tribes - assholes and not. Sendak - relate to physicality of the book in bodily way. Big book - whole world for children. Flexible - live in fantasy and reality. Pictures and words = interdependent - embellish each other. Money and relatives - visual perspective - overwhelming adult for child. Cross-hatching -> screen, shadow - despite wild colours.
