Language and Style
Whether you are being asked to write a commentary or create your own piece of writing, you need to be aware of all these points. In fact, you can use these subheadings as individual paragraphs (they are bascially a more sophisticated version of the one we used in class: Lexis = language) when you are writing a commentary. If you have read a passage from a horror story and they ask you to write another chapter, you need to make sure you are aware of the language frameworks of the writing so you can match yours up with it.
I have a feeling I have made this sound and look a lot more complicated than it is but have a read through and you should hopefully see it is just a posh version of what we have been doing all along.
