The Kangaroo Communique

Once again. I see I'm talking about myself too much. But all things considered, its unavoidable. I mean, I don't even know one solitary thing about you. I've got your address and your name, and that's it. Your age, income bracket, the shape of your nose, whether you're slender or overweight, married or not-what do I know? Not that any of that really matters. It's almost better this way. If at all possible, I prefer to keep things simple, very simple-on the metaphysical level, if you will.


I thought that this post was very interesting. It is talking in the first person, yet the author is bringing the reader into the story. This could also be considered second person. He is talking directly to us, to bring us into the story and get the reader more interested in what is happening. I also found the syntax to be very short and to the point sentences like you were doing this or this. He likes to keep things simple ironic, since everything that he is writing is very confusing, and unconventional. The author used paralleism. It was either one thing or another in the sentences.
