While Nathan was putting his diving suit on , Laura was complaining about her camera getting damaged because of the water. The only reason she had it out was because she wanted to record the events for a documentary she is working on. In the distance they heard other boats travelling at high speeds getting closer and closer. Laura thought it would be a good idea to shoot a flare up to signal Sullivan that they were in trouble, however Nate disagreed and carried on getting ready for their dive into the Pacific. Then they turned suddenly to find bullets skimming the surface of the water. They couldn’t tell where it was coming from. 2 Water Force speed boats came sliding around the corner. As they got closer Laura started to back away stumbling towards the flare. Nate pulled out a revolver to protect them both. Laura shot the flare into the sky and within a few seconds arrived Sully, a rescue ladder was flung down and they both scrambled up the escape route in a matter of time. Nate shouted “Adios” in a sarcastic tone as they flew off through the clear Pacific skies.

Nathan Drake , along with Laura Fisher, there to record the events for a documentary, and Victor Sullivan ( Sully ) Nathans Mentor throughout life due to Nate losing his parents at a young age. They are on a quest to find Sir Francis’ Drakes coffin which treasures nothing but his notebook, which Nathan ( Nate ) is certain that inside hides a way to El Dorado The City Of Gold. He also convinced that Sir Francis faked his death and that Sir Francis is his ancestor and wants to finish of the quest Which Francis couldn’t. The first setting is on a boat in the Pacific where Laura and Nate are getting ready to dive down into the depths of the ocean hoping to find any clues that their rival Zoran Lazeravic’ and his men haven’t had a head start on the quest to find Sir Francis’ notebook. However before Nathan and Laura could reach the water, scurvy pirates attack their boat . Luckily Sully flys over in his sea plane and rescues the two youngsters. They travel to their base located south of the Pacific. As soon as they arrive the 3 receive an urgent call from Lazaravic’ saying he is on his way and no one can stop him. Nate knows he isn’t lying, filthy Russian vet. Turned on his own country and tried to take control. Well that didn’t work out he went on to treasure hunting. This is where he met Nathan Drake. Friends at first , started to treasure hunt all over the world, they were like a fortune seeking duo. However when Drake got the plans for the biggest quest of their careers ( Sir Francis Drake and the lost soul ) Lazaravic’ turned and fled with the plans. Laura is an old friend from school, and sully met Nathan when he tried to retrieve an artefact from a Greek museum about 10 years back when Nate was 14. The guards chased him out onto the cobble streets. Nate saw Sullivan , he knew in his head he was running out of money to survive. So being a smart but risk taking teenager he successfully picked Victor’s wallet. Nate checked the wallet and grinned to himself in satisfaction. As soon as he turned the corner sully was already waiting there for the boy. “That was good kid, but you still have a lot to learn”. Sully explained in a cocky tone. From their on sully mentored Nate as he was his own child.

My Idiolect:

So – When I’m thinking of what to say next.

Errrr – When I’m stuck and I don’t know what to say.

Ok – When I’m trying to process and think about what another person has said to me.

Idiolect is when someone uses the same group of words such as so, like, or even phrases such as Errr or ummm to fill in the gaps or pauses when they are speaking. People do it out of habit, or maybe when they were feeling a certain emotion such as being nervous. Being nervous can trigger people saying words or phrases throughout their sentences. For example ” I went to the park yesterday, Errr and we went to played football. ” Someone can reply by saying Did you enjoy it? And the response to that could be ” Ummm Yes it was fun.”

Idiolect is also a way to buy time and to figure out what their sentence is going to be and how it is going to be structured.

How does context change meaning.

Ok- This phrase can be used to confirm that you have understood something or you can use it in a sarcastic or rude manner.

Dramatic irony is when the audience knows more than the character on stage at that moment in time. In Anthony’s soliloquy we know he won’t lie because he is by himself and he won’t try to cover up the truth. This is when he expresses his deep emotions and feelings about the death of Caesar. The audience know that it was the conspirators, lead by Cassius, who killed Caesar. However Anthony is unaware of the situation.

Brutus acts arrogantly and overconfident towards Anthony by saying ” You will speak at Caesars funeral under our permission”. This shows he is assured that Anthony will speak good thoughts at the funeral. On the day of the funeral Anthony unleashed his wrath by telling the people of Rome “But we’re I Brutus, And Brutus Anthony, there were an Antony Would ruffle up your spirits and put a tongue in every wound of Caesar, that should move The stones of Rome to rise and mutiny”.

Due to Brutus undermining Anthony it made Anthony act the way he did at the funeral. The audience already knew that Anthony was going to show the actions he did due to the signs throughout  Act 3 Scene 2, “O,pardon,me, thou bleeding piece of earth, That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!” Such as Brutus acting towards Anthony like he was a lower class peasant. Also when Anthony saw the body of Caeser, the conspirators were proud and filled with joy after the objective was complete and successful. We also know that Anthony is going to get revenge at the funeral because he tells us. “If you have tears, prepare to shed them now”.
