For my Discourse Analysis Assignment, I chose to use the "Chat Room Transcript".
Main Question/Focus: How can the Internet make the A feel less indanger about being in a Chat Room?
Evidence: The use of Language "I was more familiar with it", "I was able to e-mail who ever I wanted", "very familiar with the internet", "I liked talking to my friends". Also, the use of Pronouns: "I" is used a lot towards the end of the Chat Transcript to indicate how the A explains how he started becoming more aware of what is a part of the internet. Additionally, it brings the focus onto him more directly. Moreover, by feeling more confident about the internet should make the A feel better about going online. Dangers can easily scare someone away from something, as with the person being interviewed by use of the Computer.
