the schwa was here!! this book is incredible!! i really like this book i like the writing style the content, everything! there are some parts in the content which was really lame but it was hilarious. it's a great book! must read it if you have the chance. this book makes other books look like ...... =) other books are either good in content but not in writing style, not the kind that i like or good in writing style but the content are just crap. how i wish this could be our lit book instead of those kind we get which are so dead. not a single bit of humour in it. nadda- or they try to be funny, which make them suck even more. i declare the schwa was here my favourite from now on. :) according to the book, schwa: the faint vowel sound in many unstressed syllabus in the english language. it is signified by the pronunciation "uh". for example, the 'e' in overloook, the 'a' in forgettable, and the 'o' in the run-of-the-mill. it is the most common vowel sound in the english language. i don't really understand this either but the way i figure, it's a vowel that doesn't make much a difference even if you left it out, like when you spell overlook as ovrlook,it still sounds like overlook when you pronounce it. something like that, i think. the boy in the book is just like this vowel. the way this boy goes around unnoticed is kinda freaky, like the teacher could forget to prepare him a report card because they forgot about him or sometimes you could not even see him even if he's standing in front of you until someone points him out. in this book, the schwa we're talking about is calvin schwa. " the schwa effect" they say, is the effect that makes you forget about him, like wipe him out of your brain so that no one really remembers he was really there. this was mentioned in the book several times. in a forest, if a tree falls and no one was there to listen, then the tree was never really there, because if no one hears it, nobody will know it existed. haha...creepy...
