MY VOICE TO TEXT PARAGRAPH

I have a story about a friend that went to 7-Eleven after a sports practice with her younger brother her name was Chantel. Chantel and her younger brother went to visit 7-Eleven at around 11 PM and there was this man sitting outside of 7-Eleven who had some raggedy clothing on he looked very out of it, and he seemed like he was sleeping but not quite. my friends my friends went into 7-Eleven walking past him and even just that being in his vicinity caused them to feel uneasy Chantel went in and bought some snacks for her and her brother and her brother got a drink and they went up to the tail to pay for their items and as they looked outside of the window they saw that the man was up but he was just standing and almost waving his arms around slowly. This made them feel unsettled and they contemplated waiting inside for a little bit but they decided not to because it was them over reacting so they paid for their stuff and left. When they went outside they were met with the man and he seem to be asking them a question if they had any money and my friend said no she didn’t have any cash on her she paid electronically and he seem to be OK with that and walked away and when they got in the car Chantel ignited the car to start up and all of a sudden the man reaches in through the back window and tries to grab Chantels brothers his arm and he had a light sabre in his hand, one of those plastic ones you get from a toy store. He was waving it around and yelling in cantations from a fantasy setting in Star Wars and telling Chantel‘s brother to give him money and they both started screaming and they were very startled from this event so it’s Chantel cost him off and drove off as quickly as she could the car ride home was very silent as they were both shocked. This is a true story and it happened to my friend a couple years ago

QUESTIONS:

a. How does the text deviate from conventions of written English?
It not only makes barely any sense it is wildly grammatically wrong. Proper English allots for punctuation, correct use of literary devices, and accurate spelling/use of words, which on many accounts in this paragraph there is none. I used my phones

b. What is “wrong” in the text? What is “right”?

c. What are the most common “mistakes” in the text and why do you consider them “mistakes”?

d. What if you had “scripted” the story? What difference might that have made?

e. In what ways does oral storytelling differ from written storytelling?
