Craft and Structure: What is the writer's point of view regarding Weaver's choice
to read the Cliffs Notes rather than the actual novel? How do you know?

The writer was satirical of Weaver's choice to read the Cliffs Notes rather than the actual novel, and implied that she was lazy in doing so.

I know this because the writer was also critical in the article, and attempted to showcase how a lack of competence can come with taking the shortcut with a task that deserves an actual attempt.

Explanation:

The Onion's article, "Girl Moved to Tears by Of Mice and Men Cliffs Notes" explains the reaction and reasoning behind Grace Weaver and her choice to read the Cliffs Notes version of Of Mice and Men over the original novel.

The writer was satirical of Weaver's choice in reading the Cliff Notes by emphasising the literary relevance of the book and how short it was, evidenced by the lines "the most skillful example of American naturalism under 110 pages" and "Weaver's choice to read the Cliffs Notes instead of the pocket-sized novel", which made Weaver's choice to appear all the more incompetent.
