"Close Reading Bingo"

1. Use of a long quotation: such as, "One of those little English jobs that can do around two hundred miles an hour," destroy any last vestige of formality, further developing the aura of simply telling a story to a friend.- http://ascrapofparchment.blogspot.com/
2. Use of the word "use" and calling the author by his first name:J.D. uses common words to describe his past, such as "crap" and "lousy". -http://maddie17-booklover.blogspot.com/
3. Disscussing the effects of the passage on the reader: With the use of his realistic descriptions, the promt was easily visualized.-http://addie-line.blogspot.com/
4. No puntuation in the quote, and way too long as the subject. "On sunny days like this one, a temporary, steeper escalator of daylight, formed by intersections of the lobby's towering volumes of marble and glass, met the real escalators just above their middle point, spreading into a needly area of shine where it fell against their brushed-steel side-pannels, and adding long glossy highlights to each of the black rubber handrails" -http://theycallmefreshmoney.blogspot.com/
