My first impression on the extract is that someone will persuade someone to do something that will result in a good thing because the title says Friendly Persuasion and based on the given list of words.
One thing that surprised me about the story was a character's sudden death.
The intended audience is the students.
evidence to support my answer
"Alan was supposed to be grounded at home, but he'd managed to persuade his parents that he was repentant enough to be allowed a night out."

Identify which part paragraph we see the start of the point of change.
In Paragraph 6. The first part of the text is telling the readers about Alan and his behaviours at school, however, when the Mini entered the scenario, ideas about Alan have changed.
How does this point of change help us understand the purpose of the text?
The author is trying to tell the readers something important at the end.
Author's purpose: think about the lesson the author is trying to convey. It doesn't always have to be a lesson, sometimes it can be the author is trying to persuade the reader to change their point of view about something or to inform the reader about something.
If we don't learn from our previous mistakes, we are going into trouble.
*Alan got rejected from his previous school and got stood down again
Using the title to help you understand the author's purpose
Why do you think the title is appropriate? (Friendly Persuasion)
Because the point of the text is about Alan's convincing friendly persuasion that lead to his death.
How does this relate to the author's attitude towards the characters in his story?
The point of change makes the title have more sense to the readers.
Write a different title for the story and explain why you chose this title.
The Popular Guy, The Cool Kid, Alan's Mini?
How do the title and the point of change work together to get the author's purpose across the reader?
The title gives the reader a quick hint about what the text will be about. However, the given title makes no sense at the beginning of the text but as it flows, the point of change will draw the main idea to the title.
Identifying how the text is communicated
Identify one metaphor and describe its significance

"Alan and his Mini were unrecognisable"
Putting it all together
