What is the likely purpose of reading a text like this product label?HintThink of why this text was created To understand a concept this product information has nothing to do with anything you need to understand a concept To obtain specific information this is the correct answer because you will be looking for information that is specific to the makeup of the food you want to consume, whether you’re looking for the sugar content or the calories, the table includes very specific details on all of these things For entertainment or enjoyment there is nothing enjoyable or entertaining about his information To compare different points of view more than one point of view or a person’s perspectives are not created in this text as it simply includes information without judgement or comparison None Question 12.Everyday I wake up with eyes that don’t work and remember the dry, flat paddocks, One of my eyes hasn’t even opened in years and the other just lets in the light and the world looks grey. The scratching of the chickens in the yard to my right are usually the reason I roll over to absorb the rising yellow sun then I try and get up when the creak of the front fly-wire door sounds but I rarely get to it in time. My master’s porch is old and tired but at least I have an old rug which is far more comfy than the rickety warped floor boards.There were four of us once and each had a role of their own. My three brothers and I would come bounding out of the kennels to greet our master, we would sit up straight to attention in a row as we had been trained to do, eagerly awaiting a morning pat of the head as reward for the coming work. I trained my brothers out in the burning paddocks running up and down after the mindless sheep and corralling them through the gates and turn-styles of the shearing sheds. My legs aren’t up to it anymore; years of service have run them through and I’m the last of my brothers left on this porch. My master was once good to us, we would ride on the back of the Ute into town and I remember tasting the scents of freshly baked bread or sizzling bacon of an early morning. Now I can barely get up off this rug these days. The only time my master comes to give me attention now is when he stands on the porch turning the succulent sausages on the barbecue after a hard day and he drops a few food scraps into my bowl, I love the burnt sausage ends. I live for those few minutes every day when I know he is next to me, when he remembers I’m on his porch because in every way I’m useless to him now. The following questions relates to the story aboveQuestion. Readers learn about the master’s character throughHintHave a look for the word “Master” and see if you can find descriptive words before or after it The descriptions of the story teller the description of the story teller explain who the story teller is and not the master who is another character in the story The way he speaks to other characters there is no dialogue in this story so we don’t know how the master talks to any of the other characters The narrator’s memory of what he is like the words “I remember” are used multiple times in the story which show you that this story is written from the narrator’s memory of how the master was The action occurring in the story the action in the story is more about the dogs and not the master so we don’t find out much about his character through these events None Question 13.Everyday I wake up with eyes that don’t work and remember the dry, flat paddocks, One of my eyes hasn’t even opened in years and the other just lets in the light and the world looks grey.
