Blog - Exam Practice Paper 1 Question 2

       In the passage that we see in unit six question two we are proctored to focus on the form, language and structure. The form that is in the passage in unit six question two, is qualified as a short story which entails that it uses, the structure of the passage is going to include a beginning, middle and end, as a result of the domain that it is classified in. Structure includes also the form of sentences, the fundamental sentence structure. The language that is used throughout the passage consists of the author being descriptive but also can Include the phonemes, morphemes, lexemes, syntax, and context, there are also many other configurations of Language. 

Form: 

The qualification of the form is a short story. Meaning that it has a beginning, middle and end and in between has many details about the passage in itself. However, this does not entail that it goes in chronological order, this can imitate it in many different ways signifying that the end of the story could start at the beginning to the end it could work backwards from there. To say back to the passage, the passage starts when he is in a grocery store which is the beginning of the story so you could say it does go in order. Beginning: ‘We went into Little Lanesboro Joe's country store. ’ Middle: ‘my running commentary on why those were Necessary…’ The end: ‘collection of several houses around a general store…’ nevertheless in this case it was in chronological order. 

Another sense of form is the way the passage was portrayed, an explanation of how they got the message across. The message got across in a writing, the writing of a story. Not a speech, poem, or reading. 

The story is put into a first person point of view. The reason for this is because he doesn't give any examples of another person's point of view, but also that the author uses the word ‘i’ often. 


Structure: 

Throughout the passage the structure is understanding the organization over all of the passage. Which we clarified is a short story when stated in form. Going into more depth about the structure of the sentences. Example of this in the passage in when the author states ‘We went into Little Lanesboro Joe’s Country store.’ is a complex sentence. Since it uses descriptive words and gives an exact location of where they are at. The reason why this is important to the structure of the passage is because it can make the passage either sound very bland with the simple sentences that they can use or the passage or story can sound multiplexed when you are reading. An example of a Compound complex sentence is when ‘About the time Q2 and i finished our hoagies, Sarah returned and sat down with us In one of the four wooden booths.’ The Structure of the sentence is called a compound complex sentence. Even though the simple details seem like they don't matter such as the sentence structure it does impact the passage exceedingly. 

The shape of an organized plot that is happening. Which includes; Exposition —> rising action —> climax —>falling action —>denouement. They were at a store getting food. —> talking and Describing the food that he had gotten, in this Historical town. —>Sarah ran home to get her laptop and showed a video of a susquehanna that once was in the town. —>talking about what the susquehanna did. —> talks about the houses that Surrounded the store. Evidence; (‘We went into Little Lanesboro Joe’s Country store.’---> ‘contained…’ ‘meat and cheese…’ ‘banana peppers…’ ‘greek olives…’ ‘ you might be interested in this…’ ‘historical highlights of the village…’ —> ‘run home and bring back your laptop…’ ‘her computer to run a video of old man susquehanna into town and, invitation nor a wiping of his feet… ’ —> ‘to everyones sorry, that's what he did in the historic hotel…’ —> ‘several houses around a general story…’)

The form may be there, in the story but the structure of the passage is not well done. The meaning is that the author didn't do a good job of trying to Correlate the two ideas which are talking about food and the river. These two things are vastly different and have nothing to do with each other. 






Language: 

The Language used throughout the story is often very Descriptive. Example of this is when he is talking about the sandwich that he is thinking about and eating the hoagie. Some of the words that he used were ‘my short loaf pat stuffed…’ ‘chopped lettuce…’ ‘black pepper held in place…’ and so on. This is only when he was talking about the sandwich that he was consuming. However he did Use descriptive language talking about the susquehanna as well, an example of this is after he saw the video and what talking to Sarah. He had said ‘To everyones sorry, that's what he did in the historic hotel…’ Then later he Decides to talk about the village and what the appearance of the Village looks like. Example of this is when he says ‘village rather than a mere collection of several houses around a general store. ’


        These were the key ideas that we were proctor to focus on and what I think that he did throughout the story that was being told.
