"I argue that Pynchon took the title Slow Learner from Orwell's 1984 and that 
the narrative voice of 'Introduction' is a reshaping of the voices of Ronald 
Reagan and the reformed Winston Smith. ..."

Exam question one (two parts):  

(a) What would be the descriptors of a narrative voice that is "a reshaping 
of the voices of Ronald Reagan and the 'reformed' Winston Smith"?  What are 
the stylistic features of such a voice?  Can you write a typical sentence in 
the style?

(b) Find a representative example in Thomas Pynchon's Slow Learner Intro, 
noting specifically where the (reformed) Smith/Reagan stylistic synthesis 
lies.  Explain and defend your choices.

Extra credit:  Show where the stylistic tics and earmarks of Oliver North's 
and John Poindexter's voices have been similarly and simultaneously 
synthesized.
