Final answer:
The question seems to misunderstand the Joe Girard example, mixing it up with a literary figure named Joe Dagget, who, in a humorous passage, is comically compared to a bear in a china shop. Direct quotations are effective in conveying the humor and style of the original writer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The example you're referring to with Joe Girard is likely a case of mistaken identity and confusion with Joe Dagget from a literary work, and not related to compliment or Joe Girard, who is a famous salesman. In the excerpt provided, Joe Dagget is depicted in a humorous light, perhaps unintentionally acting clumsy like a bear in a china shop. Meanwhile, Louisa is portrayed as the patient owner of the china shop who must clean up after the bear's exit. This situation creates a comedic comparison that is highlighted by the detailed, descriptive writing style.
Using a direct quotation from a review or a literary work offers a glimpse into the writer's humor, much more vividly than a summary could. The styles of humor used in both the review by Magary and the literature piece about Joe Dagget and Louisa illustrate this point with rich language and imagery that evoke a particular scene or character trait without stating it outright.
