The world of discourse

Discourse is basically something that just doesn't seem right in situation. Like a grandmother going to her 18 year old granddaughters slumber party, or putting a puppy in room full of kittens to plays. Discourse is all around us. We could probably find a kind of discourse in every situation of the day. It could be even as simple as a purple colored star in a rooms or sky full of yellow ones. Here are some examples of discourse in videos.

There are many examples of discourses in the video above. The baby is talking like an adult for starters. This type of discourse create humor. It is really funny to see a baby talking and using adult language. He is actually saying jokes and creating punch lines. The baby is not only talking but in this particular commercial he is using a ipad or tablet device to search the internet. This is discourse because babies cannot actually participate in these activites, but it creates humor and commercials that are appealing to the viewers.

Things I was taught to never do as a writer.

Growing up as a writer I was taught to never end a sentence with preposition. I can remember my mom always getting on to me for saying "Where is it at?" I know I could have just said Where is it, but for some reason the at always tagged along as an extra unneeded word. When I would say sentences like this often my mom would always make me do write offs practicing not ending my sentence in that way. I was also often taught not to begin a sentence with and, but, or because. For some reason I really enjoyed doing this to add emphasis or sometimes it actually made my papers sound more grammatically correct, like if a sentence where to long for example. To this day I can honestly say I do not struggle ending my sentences with a preposition, however, I will still start a sentence with and or because. Sometimes it is just better that way.
