Pygmy+Review

Matt Bechtold Period 4

“Pygmy”, written by Chuck Palahniuk, is a book narrated by Pygmy. He is a thirteen year-old foreign exchange student from a totalitarian country. This book is written in the style that displays and shows extreme views of terrorism, what other countries think of America, and racism today. Being from a foreign country, the book is written in choppy English as it is a journal of Pygmy’s accounts. The secret plan unfolds throughout the story to cause mayhem and chaos in America. The experiences draw you in and make you turn the pages faster and faster and lose track of time.
