As I walk down the dark and dreary road on the cold, winter morning, I can feel the chill travelling through my spine. My shoes, worn down to the soles and my socks almost immediately following suit are freezing the water that is seeping into the cracks of my shoes, like a WW2 soldier whose feet are slowly rotting due to the dreaded trench foot. My one ton rucksack dragging along the rough road behind me, feeling as if its weight could, at any minute, snap my shoulders in two and rip the bones from their sockets.
As the feeling of death comes closer, there is another threat, the witch, the troll at the bottom of the road waiting to pounce on me with intent to harm... She attempts to stop me upon my travels almost every day, but as quiet as a ninja and as fast as a cheetah I travel, this is what I need to do in order to avoid being caught upon the trolls bridge. If and only if I can escape the witchs grasp, then it, from there is safe sailing, well, in comparison at least.
All of this in just an average; daily walk down the road; something no man, especially a teenager, should have to endure.

Italy writing piece
1. The narrative voice is spoken by a person who is visiting Italy, we do not get told the name of this person but it seems as if they are writing to someone of whom they are very close with(either a friend or themselves most likely). This is because they are talking very informal with a little bit of phatic writing.
2. The piece uses a lot of intelligent vocabulary such as soliloquies, this shows that the person is most likely smart, but also chatty with use of words like immense. The word is formal, however, the way it is used in context by a lot of the younger generation suggests the narrator is maybe a teenager and the word was used in its informal context.
3. The register of the extract is much like either a very long letter to someone of high importance in your life, such as a best friend or a very close sibling, or a diary entry to herself.
4. A lot of descriptive language is used in the extract. This directs the response to making the reader feel more engaged in the piece as the more descriptive language, the easier it is for the reader to understand, but also as if you accually are recieving this letter from the writter.
5. The combined impact of the piece is that we feel at one with the reader, in the fact that we view it from one of two perspectives, the first is that you feel the emotions of the reader through a third person view, the second, being that you accually feel at one with the reader and that you understand how she feels
