Literature Analysis #2

Topic/Event
"Bossypants" by Tina Fey is a remarkably funny and entertaining book. Tina goes into the basic stories from her past to her present future, adding sense of humor, ridicule, smart ass remarks. Her point is getting her story across, how it began that has lead to where her success is now.
In the introduction Tina explains, "Each component of  this book was selected to provide you with the maximum book performance, whatever your reading needs may be." She does point out examples of why she would write this book. She is a business woman and entertainer.
This book stood out to me because for one- I recognized her from the comedy show Saturday Night Live and two-the book cover. So I read the first page of introduction and after a few lines of reading she hooked me in with her sense of humor. After that I knew this was the book I wanted to read and clearly interested in.
This book is real talk to me, just straight forward and no sugar code. I really enjoyed this book and it connected to me because of the work ethics she goes through in this book, the settings I get caught up in include sense of humor but honesty from the author's perspective.

People
In this book, it is correct that not all character's are true some names are used to hide the identity of the real person the author is talking about. Also the observations viewed by the author just has me to think that there is a reason to such discrete character's. I don't  know how to really take it but I know there is a reason for everything.
Tina's dad was described as a well respected and serious looking man. He was known as Don Fey and he is to be known someone you don't want to mess with. He acted with dignity and honor walking around as a business man with high value and taste.
Tina Fey is an ordinary gal living in the fast lane to success. She is known as intelligent, persistent, go getter and bossy. This character gains respect much because of her ethics and her hard work and her values tie into how she is full time on the job like crazy, while being a mother and married.
These two character's catch my eye for how they are described and their importance in the book, the father has an important role because he is talked about in the beginning and has a whole chapter about him before moving on to any other. Tina herself is described by people who have opinionated much of her appearance. She describes herself through her life experiences but with such great sense of humor, she doesn't sugar code anything, just straight forward and honest. Her thought's and a short biography about her is what takes my interest.
Indirect- "In my opinion Tina Fey completely ruined SNL. The only reason she's celebrated is because she's a woman and an outspoken liberal. She has not yet a single funny bone in her body." -Jerkstore
"Jimmy Fallon, who was arguably the star of the show at the time, turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, "Stop that! It's not cute! I don't like it."
Direct
"And, more important, for all those years that I was sure that boys could tell when I had a loaf-of-bread-sized maxi pad going up the back of my pants, they actually had no idea."
"The point is, Lorne did not do what I would have done, which is to say, "Your being crazy. Get back in here. Everyone else is here. Do you think you're more important than everybody else?" -Tina
It's good to have indirect characterization in her book because it's not all about the author, it adds detail to the book, some evidence to her main point in the passages. It let's me know Tina is honest and has a good image to help the reader understand. The direct is clear good support for herself as the narrator and main character in the whole book.
The diction of Tina changes within her writing and it can be seen and sensed when there are comments written of her opinion. How she personally views or shows evidence. But the tone can be negative by what words are chosen to describe or used in a sentence.
 The protagonist is dynamic in her book and keep's a reader hooked. The words chosen, sentence structure, personal evidence.
In my reaction I feel as If I met Tina in someway. She did not give anyone much fictional characteristics. Everything is put into a real life perspective. Just felt honesty bringing the book to life when the story is known to be real and the author is straight forward with their reader's.
Style
The style chosen to write this book is more journalistic than anything. When she describes her father, her teenage experiences, she does not symbolize her life, she is straight forward and a little blunt. Or even when Tina get's her first job, feelings, opinions are put into place.
The description to some settings and people described come to be simple and some just a little longer. Mostly it is spoken into dialogue mode and this gives the impression of being real with the reader. I at least feel as if it is that way and the connection to just being open and having a sense of humor gives a good vibe to keep someone interested.
On some chapter's the authors mood changes into sarcasm or straight forward or even a little pissed off. It is hidden behind the sarcasm written.
Tina uses company names in her book but nothing cited or copied into the book, just her brief life and herself come out the book. This does not affect my reading, I enjoy these types of book with direct dialogue, it jumps at me and catches me knowing the author's style of words and/or style of writing.

This book has given me a sense of attitude I want to say, it has just made me laugh and think behind her humor, mostly her work ethics. She describes it to be hard in the industry when there is controversy about woman not being made to be funny and how they female's aren't funny in general. That catches my attention because for some reason I thought about woman's rights. It somehow connected to my thought and how it still happens today, discriminating against woman's ethical work. I really enjoyed the book and would recommend to read it. It is hilarious in my opinion and one has to have an open mind to sense of humor.
