Here he is setting up the argument by saying that although he is athletic just because he is black does not mean that he is good at playing basketballr This is arguing against the stereotype that is implemented on African American malesr In Erasure, Everett frames the novel around family, racial stereotypes, and art.
In Erasure, Everett uses satire and humor when he says that Monk tried to play basketball, “though I’m fairly athletic, I am no good at basketball”, but it turns out that he was not a good player. Everett uses this to expose the struggle of the stereotype that is implemented on Monkr At the same time Everett uses Satire to set up his argument that not all stereotypes are true, In The (not so) laughable political argument by Jeff Self, Self says that, “Arguments that start with points of communion which bear on reality seek to establish an “ontological certainty,” an objectivity, from which to launch the argument”. In Framing: Toward Clarification of a Fractured Paradigm, Robert Mr Entman, states that, “Framing highlights some bits of information about an item that is the subject of a communication, thereby elevating them in salience”. In the novel Erasure, written by Percival Everett, an African American male named Thelonious Ellison struggles to deal with stereotype that he is labeled with How the novel is framed is very important to set up Everett’s argument.
