Analysis about the three texts and Comparison between a tweet and a dramatic monologue

 

 

The first text is a critical review about Roberto Cotroneo's new book : Tweet Di Un Discorso Amoroso.  It is an argumentative text in which the reader could understand the content of the book. Elisabetta  Stefanelli (the writer of the review) speaks about the book.  R.Cotroneo does some starting point to readers' reflection about social network, time, love and writing.

The second text used this technique to present the book. Indeed there are three extract about the R. Cotroneo's work. The reader could immediately get  in contact with the book without the intrusion of another reader.

Just for the subtitle the third text connect the book with the stream of consciousness, in this way the reader comprehend the intertestuality with  modernist's researches and T.S. Elliot's works.
