Strategies:

1.      Laken separated the essay into two columns, each column narrated by different narrator and in different way, but they were narrative the same story.

2.      The one column wrote in third person and the other column wrote in first person.

3.      Some sentences were same in both columns and appeared on same line.

4.      Some sentences were passed through both columns.

5.      Several pages in the second column were just repeating same words.

6.      The word "squaaaaaaawk!" the reason for repeated “a” was to emphasizing the father’s emotion at the time of that situation.

The purpose for the essay is to show audiences the different reactions from members in a family with same event, as well the reactions from people who were or were not related with the event. And think about the reasons for different reactions from different people.

Laken uses several unexpected writing strategies for to holding the audiences’ attention. And made audiences to consider questions like, which way do “I” suppose to read the easy or which way is Laken desire her readers to read? Page by page or column by column? And why there are some sentences across into both columns? Are they against the writer’s purpose for “two columns” or the writer made it on purpose?
