Types of Fiction Analysis Analysing Non-Fiction What is the study of Reading/Analysing in English? It is identifying the purpose of why someone has written a text for an audience, and what techniques they have used to achieve that purpose. Why is formality so important? Formality is at the heart of achieving purpose for an audience. Formal writing or tone fixes the position of the reader and writer in relation to each other, usually with the writer having more power than the reader. Informal writing or tone allows a more reader to position themselves fluidly in relation to the writer. This allows them to feel closer/more empathy with the text. Effective writing may combine both a formal and informal tone in places, although not in equal degrees. SWEATY PARAGRAPHS S= STATEMENT. Your answer. W = WEAVE. The build up to your quote/evidence.
