Ausable so uncommon?In the case of Ausable,the most outstanding feature must be his wisdom,his presence of mind and his quick wit.He is not strong physically,but he can beat his enemy.He is fat and slow,but he reacts very quickly.He carries no weapon,but he has an excellent brain which is more powerful than any magic weapon.He appears helpless,but he gets rid of his deadly enemy without lifting a finger.There is no shooting or fighting,but the battle of wits is even more exiting and gripping.It is precisely this commonness that makes him so uncommon.The author is very clever in portraying him in this way in contrast to the general image because it makes the story fresh,unexpected and dramatic.Text Appreciationq Structure of the text Part 1(para.1-)about:Part 2(para.)about:Part
