Augie and The Elements of Literature

Now that weʻve talked about analyzing literature and the elements of fiction, here`s an exercise for you.
Watch the Augie T. clip thoughtfully with a critical eye. No worry. You going laugh, but don`t forget to pay attention.
Choose one of the elements of fiction that we discussed in class - plot, dialogue, characterization, setting, theme -- and apply it to a portion of Augie Tulba`s act. How does he create characters? Do any of these stories have a plot? And although his routines almost always use ethnic humor, does he reveal certain truths or social criticism through this humor?
