This fluctuation promotes the overall purpose, for when Vance sets the stage for a particular time in his life with strong tone and diction, the reader is then more capable of understanding and appreciating Vance’s life and the hillbilly culture as a whole.

These seemingly small roles add an enormous amount of comical enjoyment into the
