Re: Hidden Irony

Author: Michael Scott (---.bb.sky.com) Date: 05-18-08 07:15 I think this is really funny! I think that is cultural. Read, The taming of the shrew - William Shakespeare, tell me what it's about. If creative writing is art. You can either take the paper as the canvass, or the plot. If you look at the film industry. American films tend to be straightforward and simplistic. European films tend to be more deep and involved. I read a book as a child, where during the opening paragraph the author states with word that it is a true story. Ten years later my sister pointed out the following to me. The ship that he arrived on wasn't built at that time and the Statue of liberty did not exist until 20 years later. It is not a mistke, he is telling you that this whole story is lie. Armed with that information I re-read the book. It is a totally different read.
