This is a book that’s told from the first person point of view of a teenager who is connected to internet feed. The feed is yelling at him all the time: ads, news stories, TV shows, games. It was like reading a book with a stereo blaring in the background. To add to this kind of distracted feel, Titus, the point of view character, thinks in sentence fragments and run-on sentences. Not all the time. The author varies the sentence length and type enough to not be tedious. Still, it gives the reader the sense that the main character’s thoughts are all over the place, which, of course, they are.…

We have been taught that the word “text” usually means something that has writing included within, such as a book, but here in English 5B, we are shown that this is not necessarily the case. Text in this case means anything that we can derive meaning from, whether if it is from an advertisement, a speech, performance, a specific car, etc. It’s not just to the limitation of writing. We used certain text to help us write our Rhetorical analysis paper and analyze how the author communicates and persuades their message to the audience/ readers.…

David Crystal’s writing, "2B or Not 2B", describes the implications of reading and writing from new texting technologies. Emerging avenues for writing include the new texting language, the outcome of texting on literacy, and the innovative possibilities of texting on our language (Crystal 899). Dennis Baron’s writing, “Should Everybody Write?”, On the other hand, shows how the different evolutionary steps of writing add density to the requirement that everybody writes. All people are fit to write and ought to participate in it actively (Baron 840). Comparing and contrasting the positions that the two authors hold helps in the formulation of a personal response that refutes some of their…
I look closely at the text and found out that Sestero is using analepsis to communicate a message to the reader. While in my first draft, I look at how Tommy and Sestero are both inspire by James Dean which is not a rhetorical aspect in the text. The skill totally changes my way of looking at text. Now when I look at a text, I see the rhetorical choices that the author makes to express their message to the audience.…
Texts often aim at exploring social issues, and encourage readers to respond to them in different ways by positioning them to agree with the ideas of the text. The biographical text 'The Happiest Refugee ' written by the narrator of the text, Ahn Do, invites readers to observe events, participate emotionally, understand his experiences and to respond to the characters. Ahn Do uses written techniques and conventions (including use of language) to engage readers and position them to react in particular ways. Readers are positioned to respond to the characters Ahn Do himself, his hard work, his courage, his success, his Mum, her personality, his entire family, and the pirates through the events that were created through text.…

There is a certin unsureness in the circulation and communication of information in A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe. This instability of the language in this proto-novel is caused by the author citing two sides to every point or statement he makes causing contradictions. On top of this Defoe repeats the same points throughout the entire text. This uncertainty helps to make the reader believe the writing is an actual journal as opposed to an edited, actual non-fiction.…

The novel is written in the third person limited point of view. This means that the author tells the story from an objective position, as if viewing the story 's events without benefit of any thoughts or feelings coming directly from the individual characters. The author presents the chain of events in the story and then interjects what the characters may be thinking or experiencing based on their reactions, facial expression, and tone of voice. This point of view is especially pertinent for the content of the novel, which revolves around the issue of repression, especially for the female characters. The women are not allowed authentic voices in their homes or their societies. So the author restricts what the reader can know to mimic the repression experienced by the characters.…
