@TECHNIQUES_USED_IN_THE_BOOK_OF_TRIALS_OF_BROTHER_JERO
1. The use of Dialogue and conversation through out the book.
2. the use of symbolism as Brother jero is the symbol for exploitation
3. The us of aside as brother Jero mostly speak to the audience while other actions are going on on the stage.
4. the use of suspense to keep audience interested for example when Chume was going to face Chume after knowing his relationship with his wife and hi hypocrisy about not having a house .
5. the use of stage directions. in the plsy the play have been used to reveal mood, physical setting, appearance of characters and time when the scene was taking place.
5. the use of informal or constructive language, as it can be seen the language has been used to bring more sense on the themes presented with those who carried them. in the book the type of language used by Chume is used to show that he is of lower class and totally uneducated person.
