Odious Underarmus Passage Analysis

114 Words1 Pages
The difference in the author’s purpose for writing “The Tree of Life” and “Odious Underarmus, Marathon Man” is that in the story “The Tree of Life”, it was to give information about how the coconut palms are useful, and in “Odious Underarmus, Marathon Man”, the purpose of this passage was to entertain. It was different in both passages because in “Odious Underarmus, Marathon Man”, the author chose names for each character by their role in the passage. It was different in the “The Tree of Life” because the author didn’t make up the names for the parts of the coconut tree, but gave the parts its actual name and where it got its name.

Irene experienced the same double consciousness as DuBois describes, yet she experienced it differently for she could “pass” as a different race.

What does this novel ultimately say about storytelling? The Poisonwood Bible claims that, in storytelling, everyone tries to reform their own version of their life into an appealing story, talking mainly about the struggles they face in their life and “how they live with it” (Kingsolver 492).
