Extract

All of these elements, notably the dialogue and the chosen vocabulary, show a change in events, as well as a change in tempo. This could represent frustration put forward by the acceleration of the tempo (the questions) and repetition (Fudge).

Extract

All of these elements, notably the dialogue and the chosen vocabulary, show a change in events, as well as a change in tempo. This could represent frustration put forward by the acceleration of the tempo (the questions) and repetition (Fudge).

However, if the feelings and reactions were positive, these elements could be interpreted in a different light : therefore, the main emotion asserted in the extract would be EXCITEMENT or IMPATIENCE.

Correction

This document is an article from the website history.com. It is entitled "John Lennon was shot", therefore he is the focus of the text. John was a famous British singer, from The Beatles. He was murdered in 1980 by a fan in NYC. The American opinion of John varies as he joined the hippy mouvement and dabbled in communism.
