[Shuter]

Yay, I talked about colloquial language!!!!! The other one I said because I could think of anything was the detailed description of locations and items brought which created vivid imagery or some crap like that.

Excessive Verbs indicting excitement of journey in paragraph one

Hyperbole inferring the negative consequences of journeys, the "dying of thirst within sight of your car" thing

Descriptive language in the description of the car crash, drawing you in to the action so to speak.

Colloquial language and first person narrative increasing authenticity.

etc.

 

[Mushy18]

is slang and colloquial language the same?? cos i wrote that the writer uses slang.
is there a difference?

 

[neo o]

Same thing. Well similar.

Colloq. is basically an imitation of informal speech, while slang is just an informal term for something.

 

[iyamahobbit]

Ugg, i said the repetition of "twist" was used to show his try-hardness of trying to sound Aussie. More formally than that, tho.

 

[aditya]

yeh but shrewth wasnt the colloquail language... the persona was just describing the words, thats not an exaple of using colloquial language to the reader....

there were other things in there that did thogh...

 

[gordo]

i forgot to mention that it was a narrative, or colloquial
or most of that

i just said it used techniques to make it a realist depiction, such as suspense, emperical data etc

i didn;t really break it downas far as you guys did

u reckon it will matter

 

[skypryn]

I had (with evidence and links of course):

colloquial language

personification of the car

accumulation

short, dynamic sentence structure

 

[mishka]

i liked how on home and away they had the "general english" exam. it went for 3 hours and they had 5 minutes reading time. those poor, poor kiddies in summer bay!!

 

[mattyg87]

yep i wrote something about colloquial language using quotes and i did some other technique which i can't remember now

 

[Xayma]

I didn't, . Meh, I had repetition and amplifying the repetition (like saying the car skipped then rolled, did a twisty airbone roll etc).

Personification of the car.

Some other crap.

[mattyg87]

[Shifty]
