While some may argue that the absence of any pictorial depiction of the handwriting exercises may seemingly be jarring, I would argue that that this was an intentional choice made to play up the irony of the supposed typography exercise turned literary musing sort of journey the narrator is undertaking. In fact the narrator’s attempt to illustrate correcting what he perceived as typography errors- such as through the repetition of certain words enable the readers to look past the surface of how the word may simply visually look or sound in the sentence and forces us to examine the crux of what the narrator is trying to say.
