Travel writing: OFF THE TOURIST TRACK IN AUSTRALIA
Writer: Margaret Deefholt
This piece of travel writing is about Margaret's travelling in Australia. It tells us about her encounters from 'bellbirds' to the 'shady board walk lined with spotted gums and feathery-leafed eucalyptus trees'. Margaret has included many of the techniques that are included within the grammar frameworks. For example, she uses onomatopoeia which is classed as phonology. This creates an unusual sound that draws the attention of the reader. Like, 'Ting! Tong!' She uses personal pronouns as well as use graphology to illustrate what she is describing. For example a picture of a Lorikeet. This attracts the attention of the audience by using colourful pictures. As well as adding facts, Margaret does sets the paragraphs neatly forming a tidy discourse structure. However she does not include non fluency features like hesitations.

Dramatic Monologue: Pretty Pieces (A young crazy woman's pov)
Writer: Charles Robertson
This piece is about a young crazy woman whose life is not ordinary. She cannot perform basic actions like thinking or sleeping without going crazy. Her mind is abnormal and so will think of extraordinary things. For example 'swim through streams of thick blood'. This piece is very graphic and contains explicit words, Therefore I feel that the target audience is young/older adults. Charles Robertson does include the grammar frameworks within his work. His discourse structure is in one paragraph containing many ellipsis', similes and repetitive words. This slows the reader down and portrays the style of thinking the character has. He uses lots of personal pronouns as well as rhetorical questions that are indirectly answered.
