QUESTION:

McBride is a novelist as well as a memoirist and essayist. What techniques of fiction does he employ in “Hip Hop Planet”? What are their effects?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Mcbride’s essay is filled with images and the part that is interestingly visual is when he instructs his readers to imagine a burning man in Paragraph 9: “Imagine a burning man. He is on fire. He runs into the room. You put out the flames. Then another burning man arrives. You put him out and go about your business. Then two, three, four, five, ten appear. You extinguish them all, and send them to the hospital. Then imagine no one bothers to examine why the men caught fire in the first place.” This visual imagery is concluded with his clever use of simile that carries the weight of the essay’s impasse: “That is the story of hip hop.” It engages the reader and piques his interest by subtly asking, What is the real story of hip hop? Where did it grow roots? When did it begin?
