The student room question A

English revision essay Text A is a student chat room designed to inform and to entertain by allowing someone to ask a question and other students to reply with concerning the question. This is a very informal texted as each segment of writing is wrote on the spot as it is a comment. The mode of this piece is a website and text A is a certain page from this, the audience for the website is students as the website is designed to supply a chat room and revision sources on one website. The Graphology of the piece is fairly simple, this is because it all links to a website as the page layout is a website. There is a header on top of the page which allows you to search up what you want by going through categories. There is links where other chats are being disused next to the texted, this allows the students to switch chat room to another topic which interests them. There is other features such as the “share this discussion” at the bottom of the page which allows the students to share their discussion onto their social network sights. Even simply the tittle of the website which is in the top left corner of the texted which tells you that it’s for students as the website is titled “ The Student Room” In the texted there is also graphology such as the emoji’s in the bottom comment which indicates a feeling without a word written responses which may enhance the comment as writing the comparison to the emoji might in fact not fit the sentences or just show how she felt be for explaining here feeling which she does “ emoji* I was so embarrassed” . As this is transactional language because the layout is a question an answer basis, there is a lot of interrogatives in the texted. An interrogative is a statement and doesn’t allow any other point of view on the matter due to the tone which an interrogative normally is. In this texted The Phelps states “No idea why you would walk into the side of a moving car” this is interrogative as he’s making a statement about why would you do that not from a distance, this means he could be doing a stupid thing due to the tone of that sentence or that he confused by the decision and disagrees with it. These types of sentences could be due to the format of the texted where it’s in a transactional language. As this is four different students commenting there are changes of writing styles, wikiellie comment on her friend could fit a stereotype of women can’t drive as her comment states “ she actually drove the wrong way round the entire circuit” as her friends a female and the stereotype from males in the world that women can’t drive her, her comment could be linked to this. However due to their friendship and her gender she could just be describing the incident and trying to show her disbelief. There is also a semantic field of motoring as it uses words such as moving, car,road,mirror,signal,maneuver,handbrakes and neutral to name a few. This is because all the comments of are linked to the same topic and will uses similar words throughout the pieces these words are needed to describe the topic or to (in this case) enhance the story for the audience. There is also a lot of first person pronouns such as “I” and first person plural such as “my” through the piece. This is because the comments are normally relating to themselves or a close friend so first person is needed to describe themselves in their comment.
