An extract from mine and Sami's
Sami: Umm (.) Right (.) in the top left (.) the top left corner (.) Umm (5) Right (.) go down a little bit from the top left then do a diagonal right.
Me: /a diagonal line?
Sami: Yeah but like
Me: /Going up?
Sami: Imagine like (.) a square (.) from the bottom left corner of the square
Me: /Bottom left corner? (eeee)
Sami: Yeah
Me: Nooo (2) Right (.) a diagonal line that goes up?
Sami: Yeah (.) that goes up from the bottom left corner
Me: (ohhh) (3) but does it?
Sami: /Right (.) Just do a diagonal line
Me: does it start at the bottom? (3) Wait (2) does it like take up (.) like the whole page?
Overview
Sami drew a variety of shapes on a piece of paper and then we turned back to back. He had to describe what he had drawn and I had to try and copy it with out looking. Obviously I was also unable to see his body language which made it even harder and added to the frustration and hesitation in our conversation. He decided to draw shapes like stars and crosses which were extremely difficult to describe without saying what they were. Our whole conversation lasted approximately 8 minutes and my picture didn't end up anywhere near similar to his. I think this shows that body language is often important when communicating.
Analysis
Our conversation involved many pauses represented by the '(3)(.)(5).' This was mainly due to Sami thinking about how he was going to explain his picture and me processing the information. This resulted in it taking longer. Being a inpatient character and not understanding what he was describing very clearly, I interrupted on multiple occasions. This is represented by the '/'. The paralinguistic features, shown in the brackets, such as '(eeee)' displays my frustration because I was trying to understand and get my picture right. The question marks don't only represent when I was asking a question but also how the pitch of my voice goes higher. This often happens when I ask a question.

First 500 words of my monologue (stage directions)
Audience: 12+ year old children.
Purpose: Entertain and help gain awareness for problems in society such as bullying, stealing, abuse, etc.
My top life in Liverpool.
(Jimmy is a 12 year old boy living on a council estate in Liverpool. He lives a life full of bullying, stealing and making the wrong life choices which don't get him very far)
It wasn't me ma, I promise it wasn't. It was our bill, he did it ma, not me. It was the 29th time I 'ad blagged to her but she'd 'ave clipped me round the ear if I told her the truth. I'm 12. I aint scared of my ma, I just wanna make her proud. I was desperate though... I needed them new trainers. That lad was a divvy anyway. It was a cold night and I 'ad holes in me trainers 'cause our Shane is so crap at football he made me scuff 'em up. No jumper, no hat, nothing. Me ma don't have money for nice things so I nick 'em. I'm sorry for what I did though, it was a bit out of order. I didn't hurt no one, only scared him. Ma 'ad already told me off for skiving maths and going up the park that day. Maths is boring though. Much rather be playing Fifa at me mates house, me. It reminded me of the day I went to Manchester, an older lad got in me face, and threatened me. SMACK. I punched 'im round the 'ead and legged it. You don't get bullied if you're the bully now, do ya? Tuesday, we were there chillin' at the garages when Bizzies, 'de came up sayin' we'd been reported for 'anti-social behaviour' eh? We were only throwing stones at the old biddies walking past. Didn't even smash no windows. Ma 'ad a go 'cause I was an hour and a half late, missed me tea so I ate my entire chocolate stash that I nicked from the old corner shop last week... (giggles to himself) I got an ace pair of trainers down that market man, cost me buttons (giggles suspiciously) Plastic toys, tacky clothes, knock off perfume. You can buy all sorts of crap down them markets. One time right... I was walkin' down a jigger with me top lad Charlie. Shattered glass, litter, dirty needles, thousands of fag butts and a sock with a hole in it covered the ground. Typical street where I live. Ma' said I shouldn't walk down that jigger when it's dark but it was a short cut 'ome. Charlie was pooing his pants so I jumped out on 'im. He was on one for the rest of the night. Actin' 'ard in front of the birds and kickin' everything he saw. Funny night that was.

Travel writing
Exciting, magical, animating. Just a few words that come to mind when i think about Disney Land Paris. If you want a holiday full of adventure and adrenaline then this is the place for you. I remember arriving in the evening to be greeted by the bright flashing lights that surrounded me. Our first stop was the buffet. A minimal twenty euros for a taste of every country known to man. I was 10 and absolutely over the moon to be joined by Minnie Mouse herself- my first picture and autograph, with many more to come. The thought of getting pleasure out of being stuck in a hot and stuffy costume all day, surrounded by screaming children is beyond me! But I was entertained. Being a reckless, 'unworried about anything' child, I was up for the big, scary rides. The next day I was straight on them with my mum, sister, friends and Phoebes mum. We quickly found our favourite 'The rock and rolla coaster.' 'Walk this way, talk this way' was screeching loudly in my ears as the ride pulled away at the speed of lightening. The flashing lights, the loops, the sharp turns. Never will I know what it's like to be on ecstasy for the first time but I'm pretty sure that feeling was close. We went on it seven times in a row. I don't think anyone else was crazy enough to go on it, are you? With my head pounding and stomach churning I decided to eat some candyfloss. That was not a good idea! Bleurrr. All over the floor. It was a quick recovery, running over to daffy duck and pushing all the other children out of the way, all for a blurry picture that my mum must have took. We went to the Disney parade early to get a good view of the magnificent sight... and that it was. Glitter, costumes, colours. I was in awe. Later in the evening we went to Planet Hollywood. I tucked into a MASSIVE plate of ribs and looked through 376 blurred photos of Dumbo the elephant from the parade. I had taken them myself this time but, to be fair, I was 10 and the parade carts were moving! I loved that holiday. Disney Land- where dreams and wishes come true.

Blog analysis- http://www.dittomusic.com/dittomusic/BlogPost.aspx?434&title=Get-Paid-to-Listen-to-New-Music
Ok so this is real. You get paid to listen to new music. Granted, it's not $100 per track, but still. You get paid to listen to new music.
Get Paid to Listen to New Music
Ok so this is real. You get paid to listen to new music. Granted, it's not $100 per track, but still. You get paid to listen to new music.
Brought to you by our friends at Music Xray, this initiative is designed to help musicians get feedback from avid music fans, who will set up a free profile which outlines their tastes and preferences. The music fan will then get tracks emailed to them, which are tailored to their specific taste, and will be asked to rate the tracks sent to them. Then, each rated track will earn the fan around 10 cents.
Sounds cool, yes?
It's completely free to register and join in.
Analysis- This is a very persuasive blog. It uses a retorical question but answers it within the question "sounds cool, yes?" This is the same as telling the audience that it is cool but by writing it in this way it makes the audience think about it and persuade them to get involved. It uses positive words that appeal to the audience such as 'free'. This word is repeated which reinforces the idea and appeals more to them. At the start of the blog it says 'Ok so this is real' the writer is trying to convey the idea that it is so amazing that it's hard to believe in order to convince the audience. However it doesn't exaggerate the main points of what they have to do or the '10 cents' that it is offering per song as this isn't very convincing and in reality it's a complete waste of time.

Homework- I have used parts of a script from what used to be one of my favourite programmes 'Catherine tate.'
Lise-I can't believe we've got double English.
Lauren- English is well dry
Lise- I don't see what so great about reading anyways
Lauren- No, readings for loooosers.
Lise- Innit though. A'least we got a new teacher today
Lauren- yeah, right, that'll be a laugh won'it
(Enter Mr. Logan/David Tennant)
Mr. Logan- Morning.
All- Allllright
Mr. Logan- As I'm sure you're aware my name is Mr. Logan, I'm your new English teacher. Nice to meet you all. Hope you're all ready to get to grips with some Elizabethan literature. Let all turn to page fifty three, in our poetry text books. I think we'll dive straight in with the bard himself.
Lauren- Sir?
Mr. Logan- Yeah
Lauren- Are you English, sir?
Mr. Logan- No, I'm Scottish.
Lauren- So you ain't English then.
Mr. Logan- No, I'm British.
Lauren- So you ain't English then.
Mr. Logan- No I'm not but as you can see I do speak English.
Lauren- But I can't understand what your saying, sir.
Mr. Logan- Well clearly you can.
Lauren- Sorry, are you talking Scottish now?
Mr. Logan- No, I'm talking English.
Lauren- Right. Don't sound like it.
Mr. Logan- Okay, whatever you want. Now, let's get on with Shakespeare.
Lauren- I don't think you're qualified to teach us English.
Mr. Logan- I am perfectly qualified to teach you English.
Lauren- I don't fink you are though.
Mr. Logan- You don't have to be English to teach it.
Lauren- Right, have we got double English, or double Scottish?
...
Mr. Logan- Yes Lauren!
Lauren- Can I aks you a question?
Mr. Logan- Not just now.
Lauren- Can I aks you a question now?
Mr. Logan- Just wait.
Lauren- But can I just aks you a question? I only want to aks you a question. Can't I aks you a question? I'm just aksing you a question. Can't I aks you a question?
Mr. Logan- What is it?
Lauren- Are you the Doctor?
Mr. Logan- Doctor Who?
Lise & Lauren- It is you!
...
Lauren- *fhuh* Ammist I bovvered? Ammist I bovvered forsooth?
Mr. Logan- Lauren.
Lauren- Looketh at my face.
Mr. Logan- I don't--
Lauren- Looketh at my face.
Mr. Logan- Stop it.
Lauren- Is this a bovvered face thou see before thee?
Mr. Logan- Right, I'm calling your parents.
Lauren- Are you disrespecting the house of Cooper?! Are thou calling my mother a pox ridden wench?
Mr. Logan- Enough.
Lauren- Are thou calling my father a goodly rotten apple?
My analysis
I love the play on language in these parts of the script. Lauren is a 'chav'. She uses words like 'innit, ain't and aks which are well known words related to this sociolect. She uses non standard grammar in some places such as 'fink' instead of think and 'bovvered' instead of bothered. There are a few parts in the script where she repeats herself 'But can I just aks you a question? I only want to aks you a question. Can't I aks you a question? I'm just aksing you a question. Can't I aks you a question?' this makes her come across in a 'gobby', annoying way which adds to the humour of the scene. The last part of the script that I have picked out is my favourite part because it uses the context to play with the language. They are in English learning about Shakespeare so Catherine Tate has used this to represent Lauren as a show off who tries to act cool and sound clever to the rest of the class. 'Ammist I bovvered? Ammist I bovvered forsooth?' Using the typical 'Am I bovvered' that is associated with Laurens character but changing it by attempting to make it more archaic and changing the register from colloquial to frozen has had an extremely humorous effect on the audience. This change from colloqueal to frozen register,surprisingly, hasn't made it more formal whereas it usually would. In all of the Catherine Tate episodes I've watched, Lauren always says 'Are you disrespecting my family?' which is another stereotypical thing this sociolect would say. However in this script it has been changed to 'Are you disrespecting the house of Cooper?! Are thou calling my mother a pox ridden wench?' I find this part very funny as i'm sure a lot of people would due to how it relates to Shakespeares 'Romeo and Juliet' and uses insults such as 'wench' which isn't commonly used today.

Homework, I have decided to choose one of my favourite songs and make it formal. I have also tried to incorporate some aspects of frozen register.
Original song:
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights are long
'cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy
Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you
When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone
Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colours that cover me
All I need
Every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful
Yeah yeah
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you
I look at you
Yeah
Whoa-oh
You appear just like a dream to me

Edited: Formal/Frozen Register:
All shalt devour inspiration
All shalt devour a song
All shalt devour a song
An exquisite melody
When the dark hours art so timely
There is nix guarantee
That this life art not uneasy
That this life art not uneasy
Whilst my earth art freely crumbling

That separates thy darkness
That art when I, I
I glance at you
That art when I, I
I glance at you
As thy waves art flooding thy shore
As I struggle to find thy path home anymore
That art when I, I
I glance at you
As I peer at you
I detect forgiveness
I see thy veracity
Thou adore me for who I am
As thy stars cradle thy moon
Rightfully where they shalt be akin
And I appreciate I am alone no more
And I appreciate I am alone no more
Yes, whilst my earth art freely crumbling

All I wish
Every breath that I breathe
Thou shalt know thou art beautiful

As I struggle to find thy path home anymore
That art when I, I
I glance at you
I glance at you
Yes
Thou appears just as a dream to me
Thou appears just as a dream to me

Homework 73 Ilchester Crescent
Bristol
BS13 7HW
05/09/13
Dear Kimberley,
I'm extremely happy that I met you last month but the day we spent together was so full of activity that we didn't get to sit down and have a good 'natter'. As you live so far away, I've decided to write you a letter so you can get to know me better.
I went to West somerset community college and studied Business, Beauty, Hospitality and Art, along with Maths, Citizenship, Science and English which were our main core subjects. When I lived in somerset I was part of a kick boxing club, I was proud to have achieved my first belt but disappointingly I'm struggling to find a club near me to continue it. At Danesfield, which was the middle school I went to, I entered a singing competition and won the solo category. To be honest with you, I still can't believe I found the confidence to take part but I'm happy I did. Music and singing inspires me to do certain things and I love songs that relate to my life. That was a busy year. I also earned my bronze arts award doing singing, photography and art textiles which was really fun; we went to see shows and had to write reviews about them.
You know I tripped over getting into the car and nearly smacked my head off the window? I'm used to it. You will soon realise that I'm really clumsy. When I was little I used to carry my coat around in my mouth, being short, I tripped over it and ended up with a broken arm. I was hard as a kid though! I didn't even realise until my mum decided to take me to hospital and get it checked out. There was another time in my old house, in Washford, I was upstairs with my foster brother Javhad and my sister Aj and we were playing murder in the dark. Obviously it was dark so I couldn't see the stairs, I fell down them and knocked myself out. All I can remember is my Dad waking me up and having a really sore head for the rest of the day. I enjoyed that Indian we had the other day; chicken tikka masala is my favourite food.
It was my birthday on Sunday. I went to the spa with my mum the day before which was amazing! It was good to relax in the sauna, jacuzzi and aromatherapy pool and my mum spoilt me; I had a luxury pedicure and a full body massage. We went to Bridgwater after to pick Shane up from the bus stop. I'm not sure if I mentioned him when I met you but shane's my boyfriend. I wanted to do something different and relaxing on my actual birthday so we went to the zoo. Slightly childish maybe but it was a lovely day. I love animals. Elephants are by far my favourite. You could say I'm obsessed but I have a huge collection of them! Teddies, Ornaments, key rings and pictures! My favourite part of the zoo was the butterfly forest. Butterflies are so beautiful and elegant; I love the different colours and patterns on all the different species. The evening was equally as pleasant. Shane took me for a meal at a lovely pub which was delicious. I don't think he thought much of his but 'oh' well, it was my birthday!
I had my first driving lesson on Tuesday. I'm not used to the city but my instructor is really good and I like the adrenalin that comes with the scary aspect of it. As you know I was looking for a job and I got one! It's at Primark and I start on the 19th. I will have more money to come visit you now!
I can't wait to meet up again and get to know you better. Say hello to Auntie Katie for me.
Lots of love

Dear Kimberley,
I'm extremely happy that I met you last month but the day we spent together was so full of activity that we didn't get to sit down and have a good 'natter'. As you live so far away, I've decided to write you a letter so you can get to know me better.
I went to West somerset community college and studied Business, Beauty, Hospitality and Art, along with Maths, Citizenship, Science and English which were our main core subjects. When I lived in somerset I was part of a kick boxing club, I was proud to have achieved my first belt but disappointingly I'm struggling to find a club near me to continue it. At Danesfield, which was the middle school I went to, I entered a singing competition and won the solo category. To be honest with you, I still can't believe I found the confidence to take part but I'm happy I did. Music and singing inspires me to do certain things and I love songs that relate to my life. That was a busy year. I also earned my bronze arts award doing singing, photography and art textiles which was really fun; we went to see shows and had to write reviews about them.
