The texts given are both based on Glastonbury and the conditions there, despite this the language included is almost completely different.
The most obvious difference between the two is that Text A is spoken mode and contains multiple speakers, text B is in the written mode and has only one author.
Mary is the main person being interviewed in Text A and you can tell she’s nervous and is not used to being on the radio due to her use of non-verbal fillers such as ‘um’ and ‘err’. You can see this even more when she seems distracted by the things around her, we can see this in the quote ’[Timmy squeaks] but erm Luke err probably after ah after..’. In this we can see she’s clearly distracted by the noise her son made due to the 3 non-verbal fillers she uses and repeats herself as if she’s forgotten what she was going to say. In contrast Nick, the interviewer, it clearly used to being on the radio and asks several questions in a row to keep conversation flowing such as ‘what about Luke and Timmy (.) did they get tired at any stage’. Despite it being spoken we can tell it’s a question due to the words what and did at the start of the sentence.
Text B does contain questions such as ‘..who will provide the memorable moments this year?’ which is a interrogative sentence. However instead of being answered the questions mentioned are rhetorical and used to engage the reader.
Both of the texts seem to be aimed at middle aged people, we can see this from the language and the content
The Sixties were an exciting revolutionary period with great cultural change. Some people called it the “decade of discontent” (Britannica) due to the race riots in Detroit and La, and the demonstrations against the Vietnam War. Other people called it the decade of “peace, love, and harmony” (Woodstock 69). This decade was identified as such as a result of the peace movement and the emergence of the flower children. (Britannica) The sixties were about assassination, unforgettable fashion, new styles of music, civil rights, gay and women’s liberation, Vietnam, Neil Armstrong landing on the moon, peace marches, sexual freedom, drug experimentation, and Woodstock. All of these components caused a revolutionary change in the
The media clip of the journalist Michael Parkinson interviewing the actress Meg Ryan is a clear demonstration of a variety of communication strategies being employed by parties who are not familiar with one another. In many ways, this mimics the therapeutic conversations that occur between health professionals and patients when they begin working with one another. In these situations, the interviewer must use a range of questioning techniques to encourage the interviewee to provide information. For this to be successful, the participants in the conversation must usually feel comfortable and at ease.
Prose's purpose in posing one rhetorical question after the other is to force her audience to contemplate the teaching strategies that are given to high school students. Prose makes plenty of attention-grabbing points and by presenting it within the variety of queries, she asks her audience on why instructors and teachers are not teaching their students what is very vital regarding
What effect is created by the use of rhetorical questions in paragraph 18? The rhetorical questions further describe how no one wanted to go down the tunnel. Furthermore, rhetorical question creates a sense of paranoia because the tunnel wasn't as bad as they anticipated.
how the questions are answered. Your goal in choosing an interviewee is to simulate the interaction
Consider the three-stage model of interviewing as you watch the video. Provide two to three examples from the video for each of the following stages:
Gatto questions, “What if there is no “problem” with our schools? …Could it be that our schools are designed to make sure not one of them ever really grows up? Do we really need school?(684). It gets the reader to think about what they would have done if they found themselves in those situations. Nafisi questions, “Does she feel humiliated by the new laws, by the fact that after revolution, the age of marriage was lowered from eighteen to nine, that stoning became once more the punishment for adultery and prostitution?”(497) These are very significant questions with specific answers that present the reader with an argument and get the reader to think like how the author thinks. Both authors use rhetorical questions to get the reader thinking and involved in his text. They are also able to get their ideas across without stating them but rather incorporating them into questions that have obvious answers. Both authors are able to communicate an idea without necessarily stating it but incorporating it in questions. The reader unconsciously answers the question in the specific way the authors want them to thus strengthening their arguments Also, the questions create an atmosphere for the writers to introduce their
Firstly, Rhetorical question was one of the many techniques that were used in the essay to persuade the readers, while also being the most used technique. Rhetorical questions are questions that have the answer embedded in them and often use irony. “Who is Australia’s head of state?” and “Is it the democratically-elected Prime Minister?” were also used as a rhetorical question to give the readers the same ideas as before. “Who runs the show
Whilst the two texts are presented in a different way, both formats receive a similar response from the reader and are useful in presenting particular ideas about
The Woodstock Music Festival is the most famous 1960s rock concerts, made by four promoters who did not know what exactly they were doing. Even with no experience they still managed to create an impressive masterpiece of a concert that truly captured the feel of the 1960s, with acts by Jefferson Airplane, The Who, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix.
The author uses rhetorical questions to make the reader think about the subject in depth. Rhetorical questions are put into the article to try to make the reader think rhetorically about the topic. Sometimes these questions can be hard to answer but not the questions put in this article. For example, in the begging the author puts “If someone
Questioning is the act of forming an inquiry and interpersonal communication to gain information which assist in making decisions. There are two common types of questions that are mostly used in an interviewing scenario, that is; closed and open questions. Closed questions are restrictive and require short answers .For instance, “Yes/ No “answers. The amount of information gained is limited while, open questions begin with “What, Why/ who?”They allow patients the freedom to talk about what they wish and invite an argument, long answers are required for these types of questions. (Stein-Parbury, 2009).
Throughout the videos, there were many times in which the interviewer was successful and conducted a decent interview. The interview room was assembled appropriately, except for the table, which could have acted as a barrier between them. The proxemics amongst them was at a respectable distance for an interviewer and a victim. His pitch and tone of voice remained calm and relaxing throughout the interview. Due to her traumatic state, it was very important that he remained calm. There were some signs of good communication from him, including positive eye contact and active listening. Active listening was shown in

Once finishing the interview I recall thinking that I had forgotten one major factor within the interview, which was taking notes. This would have to be my only major weakness that I found I had whilst interviewing Mary Doe. At the time I was so focused on eye contact, so it was really easy for myself to just ask the questions and get lost in the answer whilst trying to figure out what question to ask next. The lack of note taking in response to Mary Doe’s answers left me forgetting to listen one hundred percent as I was switching focus to what came next. When researching how I can improve this skill there was a lot of positive feedback on how to strengthen this skill. One that I shall be focusing on for future interviewing opportunities is to continually jot down small phrases as spoken, any specific information that is useful
