Second Half of Exercises in Style and Hazel Smith

      The second half of Exercises in Style was just as entertaining as the first. It is thus far my favorite work that the class has read. I particularly enjoyed Antiphrasis and also found it creative how on page 124 the entry is in music notes.

Hazel Smith's discussion presents the potential of narration in a similar way as Exercises in Style. Smith additionally conveys different approaches that can be used to tell a story. However, Hazel Smith does tend to concentrate more on the technical and grammatical approach to narration as opposed to the creative sense like Queneau. Furthermore, as Queneau and Smith both proved, through different styles of narration, the writer can relate to different target audiences and convey different messages.
