StOrIeS aNd FaCtS

There is an article that tells the readers about a nurse, Deborah Parry who had been suspected kill her college. I have been learnt how to criticizes that article from using the procedures and some technique that are include topic, content, source, audience, rhetorical function, purpose, perspective, positioning, impact and visual literacy. From that technique I may write the critical academic essay that will fulfill all the criteria and characteristic that related to the article.
The first chapter has been talk about the recount or a type of story in which people communicate. In informal communication I mostly talk about myself such as what I feel, what I did and also what I think. The important thing is the stories are developed around a sequence of actions. This topic also discuss about the procedure of writing, which is mention about possibly the closet type of factual essay to narrative is practice writing. Produces are general and it is regarding how things are done. Procedures are general can be seen to search the world in a way recount. All narrative writing is in fact limited in this way. This is why society has developed factual genres in my culture to go afar particular experiences, in order to interpret and understand. Factual writing and narratives are different, and the difference between them is they serve different functions in our culture. The main function of stories in our culture is to entertain, notwithstanding the small group of literary critics who take narrative very seriously indeed. Narrative is often taken as the model of what people mean by creative and imaginative writing. Factual essay is planned not to interest us, but to explore the world around us. Explanation focuses on a judgment made by the writer and it involve interpreting the world, the world, not simply observing it. There are the differences in ways how boys and girls write something, boys are more direct in writing. There are the rules and regulations when we write every single thing. Rules are instruction for behaving in ways which will brought about an intended or desired state.

Reflection

There are many important things that I get from this chapter such as I may know the purpose of a text from the style and the genre that the writer has chosen. I also may judge the value or quality of a piece of written material on the basis of how well it conforms to the rules of the genres selected. This chapter will help me to improve my writing with using many idea and things that have been explain in the stories and facts.
The information is so useful for me in case to practice the right procedures in writing and how to write a good report. The topic rules and regulation make me realize that in writing, there are also have the rules and regulation that we need to follow such as use the proper language and sentence; for example, we need to use passive or active structure.
The rules and regulation build up my discipline to write in the right order and procedures.
As a conclusion, the good writer is someone who practices all the writing process and try to use all the skill that is needed. There are also need to track all the writing rules and regulation to make sure they are writing in the right way.
