Question 2

   The use of form is presented as a narrative text, in the ways how it tells a story throughout the whole entire text, similar to a story. The author wrote this as a narrative because he wrote a book, due to the fact of how it is reflecting back to his past. It describes the footer at the end of the text such as ‘Q’ and gives a definition at the bottom, which is typical for a book to have that. The text uses words such as ‘I’ and ‘We’, which can be correlated and be used as a first person point of view.

     The use of structure in the text can be used as a conversational text, because it went from a narrative, by ending the last sentence in paragraph two, by describing or telling a story, to a coversational, in the beginning of paragraph three with where they are talking or is saying quotes. The writer also uses large and enormous paragraphs, like a story, and how it is set up chronologically, such as from going to a narrative to a conversational text. This text is also a nonfiction, as it was already happened in real life, such as from personal accounts, and by using past tenses. In the last paragraph the writer writes ‘the daughter opened her computer to run a video of Old Man Susquechana coming into town..nor a wiping of his feet’ which this quote can correlate to an anaphoric by using the word/phrase such as a noun/pronoun by describing that specific word such as her saying ‘Old Man’, whom is the noun, and the writer says ‘his feet’ and ‘her computer’, that can describe or define the pronoun being used.

     The text starts off with the word (language) ‘diminishing’, in the second sentence, and ‘blurry’, in the third paragraph, which can be used as an adjective, by how that is describing a noun. The author also uses quotations of what the characters in the text ‘You might’ve been interested in this’, where it can be used as a dialect to describe the quotations in the text. Another aspect being used would be nouns such as ‘zepplin’, ‘hoagie’, ‘bomber’, and ‘grinder’, which is describing the different aspects or types of things people call a sandwich. The writer also includes saying ‘shaken milk’ to a ‘milk shake’. This is also the same concept that is used to describe the different types of names of how they call the specific object or noun. They also use other nouns such as ‘Joe’s Country Store’ and ‘western Pennsylvania’ which can describe a place of where the writer is at, in that moment. Another example would be how the writer uses ‘green peppers, banana peppers, pepperocini, pimiento olives, Greek olives, sliced tomatoes, chopped lettuce..’ to describe another noun such as an object or ‘thing’ that the writer is vividly describing, such as a piece of imagery of where we can imagine the types of food he is seeing. The excessive use of ‘peppers’ or ‘olives’ gives us an example of alliteration which is closely connecting words with the same words, but somewhat different meaning. Another aspect being used would be the use of the parentheses in paragraph one ‘(after the shape of the stubby loaf)’ which can give us a viewpoint of what the writer is trying to say to the audience. It’s only talking to the reader, such as it being somewhat hidden.
