Answer: The sentences in this excerpt from John Barth's "Lost in the Funhouse" that show the postmodern element of self-reflexivity are 3) Initials, blanks, or both were often substituted for proper names in nineteenth century fiction to enhance the illusion of reality and 4) Interestingly, as with other aspects of realism, it is an illusion that is being enhanced, by purely artificial means.

Without a full poll or teens there is no way to know how many do or do not care about the welfare of animals.
