How does the language used in the string story build up suspense before the ending.


Significance
    How is the piece of  language being used to make certain things significant or not and in what ways.

•   The joke starts off with a string walking into a bar.  First a string does not walk into so your focus is first on the string being able to walk into a bar. The language is very simple and this explains that people will understand the joke. Unlike the other jokes were you need to think more and possible re-read the joke to understand it. This joke was straight forward and soon as you read the first sentence you understand that a string is walking into a bar and looking for a beer.

Relationships
   What sort of relationship or relationships is this piece of  language seeking to with others (present or not)

• The relationship of the string joke shows that a person must pay attention when reading the joke. At the end when the author puts frayed knot you have to listen to fully understand what is being said.
• The author i show personification in this joke giving the string human characteristics.
• If looking closer into the joke you will notice discrimination.
• If you take away the string and replace it with a human this will count a prejudice.  

How does the language used in the string story build up suspense before the ending.
To go back to my original question the author builds up the suspense with the language by having the string go to different bars asking the same question and still receiving the same answer. It makes the reader want to hurry to the end to see if he will continue to go to the bars. The readers is going to read until they find out what really happens. The suspense is build so much that a reader will not just stop reading it. Instead of just going home he was tied into a knot and that how he described himself to the bartender explaing what he was. But when you read it out loud it sounds like I'm afraid not.
