An Analysis Of Spaghetti And Dougie

The author makes the characters seem real my making the characters say something a person would actually say. For example, here is a piece of the activities taking place a dinner table. “We had spaghetti, and Dougie doesn’t like spaghetti and was pushing it around his plate and slopping sauce all over, and so Dennis punched him and Dougie started crying and Mom told him to be quiet and eat his spaghetti because he wasn’t getting anything else. And Dougie said, “I’m just a poor little slob,” and Dennis said, “That’s right.”’ The author made it seem like real activity was taking place.
