Below are some key quotations taken from last week's timed three way comparison on crisps. I've chosen them at random.
In pairs choose at least one quotation from each text and list as many language features you can identify in each quotation. Then decide on the intended effect on the audience.
Finally write up a detailed and concise paragraph that includes three of the language features and comment on the intended effect on the audience / readers.
Text A
"but but (.) but I rea::::lly don't see what the problem is"
"I didn't spend fifteen grand on a car just for little kids to go in it an leave (0.5) effin crisps on the back seat..."
Text B
"...the acidic tang, of the dust coating each brittle slice."
"So childish of him,this infatuation, so weak, so harmful..."
"... a clammy fragrance of frying fat and vinegar... "
Text C
"'But it's true, it's on the television,' I pleaded."
"...I'd open the crackly bag, poke my fingers right down into the crisps and pull out the bright blue twist of wax paper."
"Crisps were frowned upon, rather like baked beans, chips and Love Hearts."
"Crisps - light, salty, golden..."
