The Emplotment of Parks
In reviewing Parks, I feel that he is writing in the romantic, as he attempts not only to explain but to engage the phenomenon of Ebonics and the students write to express themselves in a discourse that is under constant evaluation by teachers as well as the “keepers of English” if you will. Another emplotment device used in this book are the tropes of language: metaphor, metonymy, and synecdoche and as Whit outs it “it articulates the theory of the discourse”. It seems logical to me that these devices are employed, as it would be difficult to discuss language itself with including the theories surrounding them.
