blog unit 6
In the broadest view of the text in Unit 6 from A travel writer’s exploration of life in rural america the writer of the article begins his form of language in the text is a first person point of view in a past tense form. This is shown by the words expressed such as,”we went” and “My” Following this the author begins using a narrator's expressions and language as if he is telling a story that already happened or happened a long time ago. To add on to this as well the author uses very descriptive language in his extract to express the tone and setting of the story and what is going on. Aswell as this it also affects the readers emotions and how he is feeling while reading the story.
This form of language is what creates the initial tone of the excerpt and starts the way or feel the writing is going to express which was the aim of the writer. The tone comes off as bland and dry which creates confusion as the text goes on because it switches mid story to the second thing in the story that it talks about. This creates confusion in the text due to the reader switching his language to describe 2 different stories in the text.
The form created by the author in relation to the text was chronologically correct going from beginning, middle and end in the right setting and tone for the reader to follow. The form was also portrayed as a short story or reading describing the setting, plot, and climax of a story which correctly creates a form in the short excerpt written in Unit 6.
Following this the structure was not so well thought through in regards to the writer of the passage and here is why. Throughout the passage the organization was somewhat confusing and all over the place. The writer talked about 2 different things and jumped from place to place in the text which can be followed by an example.”We went into little lanesboro to Joe’s country store” then switched to “Of all ingredients, none exceeded bread.” The importance of this is that it jumps from talking about something describing a setting and leads to a change in language describing a list of things. While this may be true the short story was well in paragraphs with the right form of length for the story it was trying to tell. Why this is important is so the reader can tell if the short story is a poem, letter, story, or some other form of writing which can help the reader better understand the writer's message of the story.
Relating back to my analysis the language was clear and well thought through to show the reader what message was being sent by the writer and was thorough throughout the entire short story. Moreover the structure in the short story was not so well shown in the story in comparison to the language, however it did express how or what the reader was trying to get across and that he was writing a short story not a poem or speech. Lastly in relation to my analysis the form was clearly shown chronologically with a clear stated beginning, setting, climax, and conclusion. This effectively shows what the writer was trying to get across in the short story and also helps the reader notice and understand the plot of the short story and meaning behind what the author is trying to write.
In conclusion, this passage shows various ways of a well formed passage with elusive evidence and language as well as structure being formed.
