The three extracts deal with a book
named "Tweet di un discorso amoroso" by Roberto Cotroneo. It is a very
innovative work because of its contents and because of the way in which it is
written. In fact, its language is based on that used in two of the most popular
social networks: twitter and facebook. This kind of language is characterized
by a series of short thoughts, quotations, aphorisms which are written in a
simple language. That's to say, the whole book is composed by short sentences. For
this reason, it is totally different from all the traditional books, from the
dramatic monologue and from poetry, which is based on precise structures and
rhyme schemes; this book, instead, is composed by casual lines, that do not
follow any rule or any order.

Moreover, the quotations we find in
these social networks are usually taken from philosophers and writers, but often
people do not know what they really mean. In fact, those quotations are
exploited by people who don't really know what the author meant with that thought,
they don't even know the context in which it was produced. So these sentences
are misunderstood or used improperly. Otherwise the quotations are taken from
movies, popular songs, contemporary books and not from milestones such as the
Bible or from what famous thinkers and philosophers said. Once writers composed
poems and books which were able to express feelings and ideas throughout
language, style and prosody, while nowadays people write short and simple
phrases which do not even come from their mind but they use the quotations of
others.

The "authors" of our days who use
those social networks have nothing new to say, they just repeat what someone
said before. With the dramatic monologue, with letters or with literature in
general, people had a lot to say, they wanted to express their emotions and
their thoughts and, above all, they tried to find new ideas.
