Prompt #11 Chapter 1

I love the author’s style. He is so sarcastic it so funny. Every paragraph Bryson is cracking a new joke! I can’t get enough of it. Here is an example: “I had brought with me a yellow backpack so enormous that when I went through custom I half expected to be asked, “ Anything to declare? Cigarettes? Alcohol? Dead horse?...” (Bryson 15).
I think that his sarcasm is very effective; it helps paint a clearer picture for the readers to understand. It also helps to keep my attention because every time Bryson makes a joke I’m sucked back into the story.
