Excercise 2

In this scene of Stardust, Gaiman utilizes a bold, pedantic style language along with lyrical description to evoke a sense of monumental immaculateness which surrounds the town. (Weakness #6)

Even as the the main character, Roberta, is grounded till September 8, 1972, she writes a "cruddy book of her cruddy life."  (3)

"Once upon a cruddy time on a cruddy street on the side of a cruddy hill..." the repetitive use of cruddy creates a negative feel for the place she is describing. "...which bubbles up very weird smells that evil genie themselves up through the cruddy dark rain..."(5)
