Assignment Four
Book Two: "Pyongyang A Journey In North Korea"
By: Guy Delisle

My book is about an American-the author-who, goes to North Korea, to help with a cartoon that will soon be televised. We all know that North Korea, is one of the most strictest countries in the world, so when he got there,he couldn't have a tour. Well at least not right away. He described that there were separate hotels for tourists and same with the floors in the hotel. Which i was surprised by. Also wherever he went, he had to have a tour guide. People in that country have not listened to types of music beats, like techno! The author, when he was with his tour guide, he asked him something like: You've never listened to this before? And that's when he started to reenact beats-which didn't help explain that type of music.

The rhetorical triangle  applies to the book by, the character knowing what he's talking about. Well because he's in the country. Secondly the triangle applies by, knowing that whoever would read his book, they would receive new and surprising information about another country. For example me, I thought that North Korea was strict but not so strict that where you only have two channels on T.V. in your hotel room, in which both are educational! Finally the triangle applies to the book by, the author knowing what character he had to portray toward his audience. He knew when to give advice, to give facts, and when to be funny. Which made the book more interesting.
