5/13/14 Questions

Question Number 5: 

The sentence structure in this excerpt is moslty in paragraph form, like in the format of a novel.  However, when people are speaking in this excerpt, what they say has its very own line.  I think that the author does this to point out to the audience, that what the people are saying is signifigant to the story.  The writer wants us to notice this because he wants us to comprehend this particular line. 

Question Number 6: 

The tone of the first excerpt is indifferent.  I know this because throughout the section the author doesn't really describe any emotions of how the teacher or the children feel.  It just tells the story in a factual manner with a lack of tone.  Therefore, the tone of this would be indifferent.  The tone of the second excerpt is frustration.  I find this to be the correct tone because throughout the section, the person who is telling the story is extremely angry with the girl they are with.  Through the line, "I don’t want to be cool.  I want to grab her by the neck and shake her and scream at her to stop treating me like dirt.  She didn’t even bother to find out the truth – what kind of friend is that?"  You can clearly tell the speaker is frustrated. 


Question Number 7:


My ceative non-fiction piece so far is about finding your passion, that you should mainly focus on.  In my rough draft I use character by including sarcasm and being very blunt about my topic.  For example, I explain how the people of today are very lazy, which isn't a word most people would use in a regualr non-fiction piece.  I believe that this will strengthen my piece because it will spark more interest in my audience, since I am adding a little life to what most people think of as boring.
