“The marker of a similitude is that it is an extended analogy which lacks plot development.” (Page 12)

“With their intent to bring about response and elements like reversal, the crucial matter of parables is usually at the end, which functions something like the punch line of a joke.” (Page 19)

“Even when explicit questions are not present, parables are intended to answer questions. Finding the implied question a parable addresses is key in interpretation.” (Pages 18–19)
