Distillation

Assuming a negative tone in the excerpt, the narrator incorporates shifts in point of view, uses smart diction and thoughtful syntax. The narrator changes point of view from first person to second person, uses words like Gentelfolks, intellectual, and victual to add a sense of intellectualness, and lists to make it sound like the narrator is even more annoyed. The narrator portrays the people in a negative way in order to prove his point of shifting from boredom to evilness. This excerpt shows how intellectual people choose evil as a result of boredom and how this isn’t right, how you should be lucky to have something for your mind or hands to be doing.
