The Orderly Arrangement

---------------

Dano said that the arrangement of words in the English prose is made in an orderly fashion. In other words, the native- speaking English writers compose expositions according to the principles of paragraph writing, to be exact. So the teachers and students of the English prose as a second language should teach and learn on the structural basis of the prose composition.

Text:
Langdon nodded absently. Symbologists often remarked that France--a country renowned for machismo, womanizing, and diminutive insecure leaders like Napoleon and Pepin the Short--could not have chosen a more apt national emblem than a thousand-foot phallus. (The Davinci Code, Dan Brown, p.17) (The Korean version1, p.31)

Dano's comments:
I wish you could see into the Korean version, and I wish I could show how incommunicably awkward the arrangements were made. The bold-typed words on the previously stated paragraph enumerate the elements which are considered derisive and ridiculous the writer of The Davinci Code wants to convey to his readers. Therefore, the enumeration of facts should satisfy these conditions. The writer of this novel The Davinci Code wants to say through his protagonist that the French male population tends to domineer, philander, and to be physically short and psychologically unstable.
