“There is no direct address in literature: it isn’t what you say but how it’s said that’s important there.” pg 24
I find this quote out to be true. Every word means something, but saying it in a different tone could change how it is meant. People use literature as a way to express themselves, when poets write, they use literary devices to create a more imaginative story that you can get lost in, When public speakers present, they change the tone of there voice to change how the words they are saying are presented in a different manner. As you can see words on paper can be taking many different ways but still mean the same thing. This is why I would have to agree with Frye and his point.
Hey Tony, I thought your post was insightfull, well written, and carfully planned to display your message. I like how you looked into every word and it's meaning. Great job Tony, keep up the gangster work.

I think you responded to this quote with great scope and with an open mind. You write about how literature can be perceived in a variety of manners depending on the speaker's attitude, tone, voice and emphasis. I believe you nailed the core meaning of the quote.
