Warning of censorship

In the novel "Ella Minnow Pea" by Mark Dunn, the author skillfully employs censorship to show how language can be dramatically affected when it is forced to conform to rigid, even silly rules. Throughout the novel, as characters are compelled to adhere to these restrictions, the use of language becomes increasingly absurd, highlighting the negative consequences of such censorship.

As the story unfolds, the Council of Nollop progressively bans letters, and the islanders face the decline of their language. Consequently, this censorship disrupts their ability to communicate freely and express themselves as they once did. This censorship becomes a threat to their cultural identity and the shared language that binds them
