Pg. 49, Question 3

King refers to his learning of words in a unique manner.  He says that at six your "Bingo balls" are still not all found.  He uses Bingo balls to symbolize how he hadn't quite figured out his diction yet.  Early in the reading he uses exaggeration to include how many comics he read while he was sick in bed.  At the end of the reading there are certain words that are italicized to show a specific meaning.  The italicized words make point of his fathers absence.  King uses literary techniques in the writing to show his own special voice and style of writing.
