Answer Sheet
The first one has been done for you. A - style 1 - colloquial writing
|
PUNISHMENT WRITING STYLES EXPLAINED
STYLE A
I'd be about 8 gave me mum one hell of a mouth full. She told me that if ever I spoke to her like that again she would wash my mouth out with soap. So what did I do? I gave it back to her but with a few words added for good measure. She some how dragged me to the sink put her hand on my forehead reached for the soap and rubbed the soapy bottom bit in my teeth. I never did it again because I was spitting soap for hours !!!!! |
STYLE A - COLLOQUIAL
EXPLAINED Colloquial writing is everyday language. The kind of simple and straightforward language you would hear your friends use or hear used on daily basis. It is not suitable usually in English formal writing. In this example, the writer uses the words "me mum" instead of "my mum" and the phrase "one hell of a mouth full." Also the writer says "I gave it back to her" which is referring to the way he spoke rather than an object. |
STYLE B
THE DEATH PENALTY •The death penalty is the ultimate, irreversible denial of human rights. By working towards the abolition of the death penalty worldwide, Amnesty International aims to end the cycle of violence created by a system riddled with economic and racial bias and tainted by human error. •Amnesty International campaigns to abolish the death penalty in the USA by focusing on individual cases of injustice, supporting work for death penalty repeal efforts in the states, and educating campuses and communities about the fatally flawed nature of our capital punishment system. STYLE B- persuasive
EXPLAINED This style of writing is persuasive. See how the writer uses emotive words such as; "irreversible" and "denial". Persuasive writing uses emotive words to influence the reader to their viewpoint. Strong verbs are also included such as; "riddled" and "bias" and "tainted". The strength in the verbs are intended to make people energised at the same time as emotional, so that they are influenced to the viewpoint. |
STYLE C - INFORMATIVE USING LISTING EXPLAINED
This writing could be considered to be either descriptive or informative. So the difference between the two is the add on "using listing". Scan through the article and see if you can find a list anywhere in it so that will help you decide the style of writing. |
STYLE C - THE CATHERINE WHEEL
The breaking wheel, also known as the ‘Catherine wheel’, was a medieval execution device. It was used during the Middle Ages and was still in use in the 19th century. It originated in Ancient Greece and from there spread through other countries such as France, Russia, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Sweden. A wooden wheel was used to stretch the victim out, with their limbs extended along its many spokes. Then a hammer or a large iron bar was applied to the limb through the gap to break all its bones. This process was repeated with every limb, leaving the victim alive but in pieces. Sometimes the executioner was ordered to strike on the stomach and chest, a practice known as the ‘blow of mercy’. The number of blows was specified in the court sentence. If mercy was shown, after two to three blows the victim was strangled. In severe cases, the victim would be cudgeled ‘bottom-up’ starting with the legs, while those who had committed lesser offenses were beaten 'top-down' starting with the throat. When the execution was complete, the criminal’s head was often placed on a spike for exhibition and the shattered limbs were left for birds to eat. Imagine the pain and suffering involved in this cruel execution method. |
STYLE FHanging is one of the most ancient forms of execution. British and U.S. law have always incorporated death by hanging. Although most states have abolished this practice, New Hampshire and Washington still allow prisoners to choose this option. The most recent legal U.S. hanging took place in 1996.
How It Works: The prisoner stands on trapdoor, and a rope descends from a wooden beam overhead. The rope is fastened around the prisoner's neck in a "Hangman's noose," which tightens when pulled upon. The executioner pulls a lever opening the trapdoor and dropping the prisoner, who ideally dies quickly due to a broken neck. Complications: The length of the rope must be carefully calibrated in proportion to the prisoner's weight. If the rope is too short, insufficient velocity is generated to break the prisoner's neck and the prisoner is painfully strangled to death. If the rope is too long, excessive velocity is generated and decapitation may result. Even if the rope is of exactly the right length, a prisoner with an exceptionally large or strong neck may suffer strangulation rather than immediate death. |
WRITING STYLE EXPLAINED
This style of writing is descriptive. It gives lots of details and there are no lists. NB. Informative and descriptive writing are very similar but the difference you were asked to find here was whether the writer uses listing. In this example there are 2 U.S. states mentioned but it is not a list. |
