? Exercise 2. Pick out the adjectives in the following story and say what kind of adjective they are:

A little boy once stole a book and brought
it to his mother. The mother sold the book
for ten rupees and gave him two rupees as
a reward. The boy was happy.
When the boy grew up, he became a
notorious thief. He committed serious crimes
too. At last he was caught, tried and
sentenced to death. When he was being taken to be hanged, he said he wanted
to see his mother. When the mother came near, he bit her ear off. The mother
cried with great pain.
"What crime has the mother committed? Why did you bite her ear off?" an old
man asked him.
"She should have given me severe punishment when I committed the first theft.
Had she given me that punishment, I would have been an honest man today,"
replied the thief.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?

reading poetry is challenging when you don't have or very little of social context and culture schema.

solution: read the introduction, the norm, or even explaination if you still dont get it.
