Expository texts are read with a certain context and purpose shaped through the writer’s tone and language. Furthermore tone constructs the writer’s attitude and also creates the meaning behind a text. All these conventions are interrelated, meaning they influence each other. In juxtaposition to extract 1 – The Diary of Anne Frank with extract 2 – Go Ask Alice the writers have both used a certain context and purpose which determines their choice of language and use of tone. These texts convey elicit and melodramatic tones in addition to creating a particular version of reality. The reader is encouraged to gain an understanding of the text’s meaning and also the attitudes, beliefs and values that are presented as a result.
The Diary of Anne Frank is set in the early nineteenth century, when Nazi forces occupied Germany during World War 2. Frank a German Jewish-teenager and her family are forced to live in silence within the “Secret Annexe”, where they spend life in constant fear and anxiety.

This creates an image of how miserable Alice’s life is at the institution. Again we see figurative language, as she portrays the institution as a “no-mans-land, a world of wandering and being alone”; this reflects a place that only exists in the mind. Moreover she personifies “gray circling smoke” as “trapped and confused as the patients”. Therefore from her description of the institution and her life, it is quite hectic. The extract ends in exclamations, as she realises she does not belong in the institution, where she is continually abused and freedom stricken, she cries “This can’t be! It can’t be happening to me!” The reader is left in suspense as we feel sympathetic for Alice and of her alienated life in the institution.
In extract 1, Frank’s intention of writing a diary was to be discovered and published for all to see. Her diary was written detailing the historical events of her time, as well as a vast way of communication and keeping herself sane from the pressures of the
