I'm back again with part 2 of the language scrapbook *fanfare and applause*. Today i will be examining another piece of writing.
The genre of this piece of text is a type of poem from a children's book. It's not known if the whole book is by an African Pygmy or if the book is full of different poems. The text is about a fish which we can clearly tell on the line "I am the fish". The genre is simple and short and uses mostly monosyllabic words to convey that the poem is for a younger audience.
The audience of the piece will be to young people in nursery or primary school due to the simple words in the text. The text could also been read out to the audience of young people by a more experienced reader that would emphasize the words.
The purpose of the text is the reason that it's been created is that the subject of the fish is described about it's actions and what it does. The reason is to give children entertainment while learning words and about animals, the reader may feel relaxed and happy as the writer states "everything lives, everything dances, everything sings" which are really positive words and phrases to make the reader feel joyful. Also in this the author has conveyed repetition in the text by the word "everything" which is a persuasive technique and gets the readers' attention.
The context of production, in my opinion, is that the language is basic, the influence on the text could be that the it is for a younger audience therefore even when the poem was written, the author still had access to the basic, simple, monosyllabic words he wrote in the text. Whereas, he wasn't really able to put polysyllabic, educated and elongated words in the poem as this wouldn't be professional for the intended audience.
The context of reception is that the most likely option that the text will be received in is a book being read by a young reader or being read to by a more advanced reader that can emphasize and exaggerate the words, pauses and sentence structures for the audience listening.
In my opinion the range of persuasive techniques is great and the verbs and nouns and general positivity of the poem is super.
