The Lanham Method in Action

The novel is in the first-person point of view, which lets us into Frankie’s life to see the priorities she has as a student. She is interested in the Loyal Order of the Basset Hounds, an all-male secret society. She finds outs her crush Matthew is a Basset Hound. Frankie feels discriminated against and investigates the group. She steals a book of their history and uses it to take anonymous charge, taking place of their absent leader. Frankie is manipulative through the first person view. I would enjoy hearing the story from another person’s point of view. Were the other Basset Hounds clueless about Frankie’s participation? I think it would be an interesting story, different than the account we have.

  1. For the Lanham Method, this looks good. The paragraph seems like it's mostly lard-less. But the writing seems pretty stiff. Makes me wonder if that's a problem with the extent of the Lanham Method and how much it tightens up the writing.
