The sentences in this excerpt from John Barth's "Lost in the Funhouse" that show the postmodern element of self-reflexivity are:

3)Initials, blanks, or both were often substituted for proper names in nineteenth century fiction to enhance the illusion of reality.

4)Interestingly, as with other aspects of realism, it is an illusion that is being enhanced, by purely artificial means.

<u>Self-reflexivity is a literary device that consists in making the author's manner of composition the main focus of attention</u>. While the writer tells a story, <u>he/she also tells the readers about the choices made and the organization and structure of the text</u>. This literary device allows the readers to be inside the writer's mind; however, sometimes the writer does not always tell the truth. In that way, it is necessary for the reader to be able to distinguish what is real from what is not<u>. In this two sentences from "Lost in the Funhouse", John Barth refers to literary strategies and choices.</u>

Being self-reflexive means it discusses itself or reflects on itself. This is not based on facts, as many post modern ideologies are want to do. But rather it bases on a topic and then derives truths from that topic. 

The correct answer is 4. It notes realism and then says realism is an illusion.

The writings of James Baldwin and Zora Neale Hurston express different perspectives on black culture in America because _____.
bogdanovich [222]
We can use process of elimination to work out what the best answer is to this question. To fully answer it, however, it is helpful to make sure you know who each author is and what they are famous for. Both are African American writers that wrote about race and inequality.

For choice A, while they were born in different parts of the United States, that does not mean they were born in different cultures, so this is not the best choice.

For choice B, this is very true. Hurston focused mainly on the woman's role while Baldwin focused on the man's. This is a good choice for this question.

For choice C, we would need to see a more in depth excerpt or do research to fully determine if this is the best answer, but from what I know about the authors and looking over their biographies, it's safe to say that they had very similar ideas about racism in America.

For choice D, they both explore painful topics because they are exploring what racism and inequality is in general in America. Because of this, this choice is not the best answer.

Based on our elimination, choice B is the best option here.
