19 Nov 2009, 11:48 PM  | Off the top of my head, aspects of each type would include... newspaper reports - punny headline objective/matter-of-fact tone quotes from authority figures use of images feature articles - punny headline subjective/personable tone varied sentence lengths quote or image enlarged and placed in the middle of the article exaggeration/hyperbole (or minimisation) humour/wit Hope it helps. I wrote up a list of techniques a while ago, it might help too. [link here]

13 Oct 2008, 2:50 PM   | I thought that a truncated sentence was like a sentence out of its place  Something that breaks the rhythm of a poem or speech or whatever... Its normally by itself (the sentence has its own paragraph)  The Anaphoras and Tricolons are also popular techniques

19 Nov 2009, 3:17 AM  | Isn't knowing the purpose of techniques, for example what alliteration is for more important? I don't seem to know what alliteration is for other than emphasizing, or blah blah blah other than emphasizing... or is english techniques are all for emphasizing?

Skills in analyzing visual texts Body language, facial expressions and clothing of any people in the text Angles of perception high angles low angles long shots Framing of a graphic Lines of the text are they upright horizontal, circular, clear or confused? Any use of colour Techniques in written texts Rhyme- either end rhyme or within line Alliteration-repetition of a consonant Assonance-repetition of a vowel sound Figures of speech- metaphors, similes, personification Composers tone mode created in the text Imagery and symbolism-repeated motifs images of light and colour Repetiton- often used in poems for emphasis Prose Text eg newspaper, magazine, extracts from websites speeches tv radio. does the writer use the first person, second or third person. Writing with (I0 engages the audiences and gives a personal touch second person person refers to (you) can also involve the reader the language, is it formal, colloquial, can engage person because it is friendly and personal the tone displays writers feelings for subject, humorous, satirical, angry tone? humour V is it used?

21 Sep 2009, 10:50 PM | There are many possible uses for it... it can be used to quicken the pace of the poem, or for specific reasons, eg. in Wordsworth's poetry, it gives the poem the rhythm of human speech. |
