E.   Example of Spoof Text

Loving Money To Much

There was a man who liked money very much. He worked all of his life and
wanted to save all of his money for his own future. He was a real miser when it
came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything.
Even, just before he died, he said to his wife; "Now listen, when I die, I want
you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my
money to the afterlife." So he asked his wife to promise him with all her heart
that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day, he really died. Then he was stretched out in the casket. The wife
was sitting there in black clothes next to her closest friend. When they finished
the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife
said "Wait just a minute!"
She had a box in her hands. She came over with the box and placed it in the
casket. After that the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away.
Not long after that, her friend said, "I hope you were not crazy enough to put all
that money in the casket."
The wife turned to her friend and replied; "Yes, because I have promised." Then
she continued; "I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in
that casket with him." Feeling shocked, her friend said; "You mean that you
have put every cent of his money in the casket with him?" Then the wife
answered; "Surely I did. I got it all together, put all the money into my account
and I just wrote him a check."

Spoof text is very similar to recount text. Both spoof and recount tell about the
past event with chronological order. Its purpose is to amuse reader with funny
story. The story mostly is ended with an unpredictable event.
The above spoof sample has generic structure as follow:
a.       Orientation: It is the introduction of the story. By giving the orientation,
reader will recognize, for the first time, who involves in the story.The above
story talks about a wife and his husband who loves money too much even up to
his death.
b.      Events: Several events are explored in chronological way which able to
arrange the story read nicely.Promising with her money miser husband, Putting
the box inside casket, locking and rolling the casket are the events which build
the complete story.
c.       Twist: This is the unpredictable event/thing/way which amuse the reader.
Readers even did not predict before that it would be. When reading the above
story, for the first, readers likely think that the wife would put all the money
instead of just a check.

F.    The social function

The social function is:
1.      For entertaining.
2.      To share stories.
