My mother’s first criterion for a man is that he be interesting. What this really means is that hebe able to appreciate my mothe

r, whose jokes hinge on some grammatical subtlety or a workingknowledge of higher mathematics. You get the picture. Robbie is about as interesting as a pair ofred high-top Converse sneakers. But Robbie points to the mattress on the floor. He grins, slowlyunbuckling his belt, drops his jeans. "Lie down," says Robbie.This is interesting enough for me.Another thing: we want a sense that an important character, like a narrator, is reliable. We want tobelieve that a character is not playing games or being coy or manipulative, but is telling the truth tothe best of his or her ability. (Unless a major characteristic of his or hers is coyness or manipulationor lying.) We do not wish to be crudely manipulated. Of course, we enter into a work of fiction to bemanipulated, but in a pleasurable way. We want to be massaged by a masseur, not whapped by acarpet beater.This brings us to the matter of how we, as writers, tell the truth. A writer paradoxically seeks thetruth and tells lies every step of the way. It’s a lie if you make something up. But you make it up in thename of the truth, and then you give your heart to expressing it clearly. You make up your characters,partly from experience, partly out of the thin air of the subconscious, and you need to feel committedto telling the exact truth about them, even though you are making them up. I suppose the basic moralreason for doing this is the Golden Rule. I don’t want to be lied to; I want you to tell me the truth, andI will try to tell it to you.

Michaels skillfully uses wit and humor at strategic moments in his essay. Consider, for example, such lines as "what poor people
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1. The benefit is that is passes the general message in a surreal manner, the intended message is passed but with a little sense of wit and humor which would create a soft landing on the readers mind without taking away the seriousness of the message  passed.

2. Michael risks losing the attention of a few sentimental sect i.e, poor people that feel the joke was not necessary and that shots were taken at them. Not everyone is humorous.

3. The message would still be effective regardless only that, the humor embedded won;t be present and readers that love such would feel what was written was too serious lol.

4. 'The wounded eagle glided as fast as a kite in a storm', this implied that the manner with which the eagle was gliding down, it look as though it was a kite basking in the euphoria of the wind. In a serious tone, it can go like this; 'The wounded eagle quickly sought a resting place'.

Second example is ' Chelsea broke the bones of Manchester United like she was the grim reaper'. With a serious tone; 'Chelsea won Manchester United squarely'

5. Changing the tone made the argument more serious and focused on the intending point.

6. Not necessarily, it all depends on the reader but these days, authors try to spice up stories with a little bit of humor to ensure the attention of their readers stays intact and to also eliminate any chance of boredom.

The answer is "<span>Culture of increasing customer value seems to be a sustained advantage".

Zappos intentionally makes and fortifies its corporate culture. The workplace accommodated representatives won't draw in each activity searcher and it's not for each worker. In any case, the general population who fit the corporate culture flourish working for Zappos.
