The author uses the principles of “show don’t (just) tell” in his writing. For example, instead of saying “Brain is hungry”, he states: “[Brian’s] mouth was full of saliva and his stomach was twisting and growling” (p. 60). Can you find any other examples of when the author uses the “show don’t (just) tell principle” throughout chapter 6? If so, please use a direct quote that demonstrates this writing principle.
