Text: Analyze


This is the starting screen for the text "While Chopping Red Peppers." Here is what we know about the text:

  • Where and when it was published. At a site called Poems That Go (based on the title in the browser), we find it was published in Spring of 2000 (based on the web address or URL).
  • Who authored and designed it. We can also do a search to find out more information about the author and designer, which would help us understand their credibility and background. Also, knowing that there is an author and a designer indicates that this text is a collaborative project.
  • What software it was made with. This information sets up expectations about the text because we can compare its use here with other texts that use these software programs. For instance, Flash allows authors to create animations, so readers who are familiar with other Flash texts might expect this one to also include animations.
