What was the darn stylistic feature for question 2 for written?

[chap]

I can't even remember a question on stylistic features...

It was only worth two marks "everday ideas are taking off" or something like that.

^ yeah i mentioned they had established a close relationship despite being strangers seen through a huge range of features, like those mentioned (overlap, finishing sentences, shared knowledge, etc...)

yay, what i said.

Also there was a genuine interest in maintaining politeness by keeping the topic flowing as there were lots of pause fillers and minimal responses in the latter part of the section indicating attempt to keep discussion from dwindling.

i said personification, but i think they will accept it for figurative language
such as pun,metaphor

[supernerd]

Okay i did Q11, wrote 4 and a bit pages, but i have small hand writing, loved that essay question so hopefully that will salvage the marks i would have lost on Q,8 &10

it was a pun!!!!!! YAY

thank god its over could actually get a decent mark

[_avO]

How many pages did they give us? I wrote up until 1/4 of the last page w/o double space

I would agree - in fact, even just to say 'figurative' would have been fine I'm sure

yeah lol...
haven't seen you on for ages...
lol...where have you been..
i found section one quite hard....compared to the prac exams i've done

[_avO]

I found section 1 the hardest, what were the two discourse particles? I could only see like, then I talked about OMG (even though it's an interjection..)

different uses of like.

one for chat style ad to appeal to readers and the other in front of seriously for emphasis, and to say it was not a joke...

[_avO]

oh damn didn't realise thought they all had the same function

Yeah that's cool, the OMG is a prefatory discourse particle.

The other - 'like' (either in "no, like seriously" or " VAustralia is like, totally launching")
