My first grouping of text is of A+D as these texts both attempt to create imagery using various techniques. Both texts focus on children pragmatically, in text A the use of felt tip pens pragmatically implies the text is regarding children due to the fact it is a child's toy. Red is used in the text because it is bold and eye-catching,it could be interpreted as child's blood as the colour red may pragmatically imply blood , furthermore this creates the vivid image i was previously speaking about of the child being in danger as blood and danger have a very close relation.
Text D also uses bright colours in order to catch the readers attention and create a vivid image. however in this text its to spark imagination instead of to spark shock, this is executed by whimsical characters, in this instance friendly looking pirates, this makes it easier for the child to transfer text into an image in their mind enhancing the experience instead of creating a interrogative atmosphere. Enhancing the imagery further is the manipulation of phonology, shown in the presence of the onomatopoeia "whine", a whine is not just a cry its an exasperating excruciating wail, so to portray such a sound lexically a long vowel is perfect, as this elongates the sound and further elongates the word to symbolise such a long cry. An onomatopoeia allows the reader to not only picture but hear what is going on in the text, this allows a more vivid experience for the reader.
My second grouping of texts is text B and text F , I have picked these two texts because there are a range of similiar linguistic methods used similarly throughout each.The use of short sentences is prominent in both texts also....
