Westing game- Literary Luminary


1.      Sam Westing was not the type to let him-self get killed. Not unless he was insane. 
This sentence sounds kind of creepy because it says Sam is not someone himself get killed.

2.    That’s where the real clues were buried among the veiled threats and pom pous promises, the slogans and silliness in that hodge podge of a will.
This sentence sounds funny and the words that the author used are pretty funny.

3.     It was the secretary’s turn to seal her lips. She wouldn’t put it past the uppity Grace Windson Wexler to steal the notebook and unfortunate cripple.
It sounds funny and mysterious because the words the author uses at first makes it look like the seceratry is the murder but late at the ned of the sentence it is kind of funny.

4.    Turtle was slumped on the couch, scornful of dumb grown-up parties.
It sounds like Turtle dosen't like grown-up parties and he thinks that they are dumb. 

5.    Flora Baumach’s pudgy fingers, swift with a needle were clumsy with a comb but after several tangled attempts she ended up with three equal strands.
This phrase sounds like that Flora is not good with hair and you kind of get know the characteristics of this person.
