These 2 extract are extracted from the story Little Red Riding Hood. Extract 1 is in the format of a drama script, extract 2 is in the format of story. I choose these 2 register because they contain more direct conversions and conversions bring words to life. That is interesting to me. The mood system is the particular grammatical structures that are closely associated with the 3 basic functions, which are declaratives, imperatives and interrogatives. And for the Mood, on the other hand, it refers to the subject and finite of a clause and the ordering of it helps realize mood choices. They are somewhat interrelated. From interpersonal perspective, the purposes of communicating is to interact with people, we focus on the sentences. In experiential …show more content…
The mood remains declarative for most of the time to express statement or pass on information, with a predominance of “I” as subject and the finite are evenly distributed between past and present. You can also see there is a complete absence of the mood imperatives below the separation. Imperatives are for giving or command or prompting the addressee to take some kind of actions. The break comes at the end of the first scene, the more powerful figure (mother) has left the story after the first scene and did not return to the story in the extract. This is also the cause of the absence of imperatives afterwards. The writer tries to establish the contact between himself and the reader on a personal level by using more “I”. The focus of the story is also found below the separation, the protagonist’s (Little Red Riding Hood) first encounter of the antagonist (Wolf). However, the changes in Extract 2 don’t cut it in half, it cuts it into 3 pieces just like it has 3 paragraphs. That is because a good story require a stronger structure that link everything together. The last sentence of each cut are transitional in terms of finite and subject, the mood remains to be either declaratives or …show more content…
For interpersonal metafunctions, we can see, in both extract, the use of mood and Mood changes according the paragraphs or changes of scene, or more precisely, the movement of the story plots. And the usage also differ from register to register, for example, the 5 interrogatives in extract 1 and none in extract 2. That is because the big difference in terms of numbers of conversation in both extracts. For experiential metafunctions, we discussed about the correlation between mood and transitivity. There is a stronger tie between declaratives and material processes in extract 2 compare to extract 1 because of the heavy usage of the narrator. There is also difference in the distribution of processes between the 2 register. The main reason causing this is that in a story, you remains in a third-person point, even with a first-person narrative mode, you are limited to only 1 character. On the other hand, you get full access to all the characters in a first-person kind of

2) A.) Mood: language that evokes a certain feeling out of the reader. Jeannette Walls, the author, expresses a disappointed mood by stating “I didn’t feel like celebrating. After all he’d put himself through, I couldn’t believe Dad had gone back to the booze” (Walls 123). Jeanette expresses this sort of mood due to the fact that her dad continues to drink alcohol after he promised he wouldn’t.
One difference clearly shown is in the short film “Tales of the Unexpected” Billy reacts to the tea, however in the story he does not. In the film, Billy reacted very ferociously and crazily because of the poisonous tea, however in the story he did not react to it at all. I think the screenwriter alters the story to emphasize that the tea was poisonous. Another difference in the film is the screenwriter reveals Mulholland and Temple are in the house taxidermied. In the passage the ending is billy drinking the tea, however the film ends with the landlady revealing Mulholland and Temple are taxidermied and Billy is about to be.

Grandpop, Ginny, and Pop take turn stating these different sentences, almost like the waves of an ocean. Pop says, “The boy was standing guard;” Grandpop says, “He saw an incoming car;” then Ginny says, “The headlights approached” (24). Although each individual is a different person, they each continue to tell the same story, like a hivemind. As the scene continues, Elliot’s emergency grows direr, and the family members’ narrative sentences become shorter and choppier. Words and fragments are separated on different lines: “Stay / Calm / Put / Tourniquet / Lay / Back / Drink / Cup / Water” (25-26).

In the short story, “Cut” the author, Bob Greene, came to a realization early in his life that shaped him into the person he is today and later discovered that others were affected by a similar situation.

Similar to many other books and stories the structure that included excerpts by successful men across the country played a huge role in
