Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP)
1) What is it?
The functional sentence perspective looks at how language functions in the act of communication. It pays special attention to context and questions related to the theme-rheme (topic-focus) structure of a sentence.
Rheme is the part of a sentence that gives further information on the topic (the theme).
A sentence combines ‘old information’ with ‘new information’. The position of the information tends to emphasize how it should be understood.
The ‘new information’ tends to appear near the end of the sentence, while the beginning acts to put it into context.

John Maxwell was in a good mood. Which was so rare to happen that it deserves being noticed. There was indeed a special reason for his good mood: He had just received a message of the People's Council, the most powerful organisation of the world. A quest for the Council meant one thing: Money, and lots of it. John could really need some of that, in fact he had just spent

It took hours before the fire eventually burned itself out, and even then, there wasn't much to salvage. Everything had pretty much been burned to ash. The only thing that happened to survive, to Ember's dismay, was her bow. Which Mathew told her to keep. Adam knew she would probably burn it when she got the chance.
"So, what do we do?" He asked everyone, once they had picked through every nook and cranny of the ruined house.
"I guess we go into town and... see what we can find." Ember said, looking off down the road. "We either purchase what we need, or steal it."
"Steal?" Amber didn't seem to like that idea.

That magic is not real
They are lying,
Because magic is what music is made of.
Imagine that you are a violin.
You have three strings:
The Heart,
The Mind,
And the Soul.
Music is the bow
That comes out of the abyss
And sings along your strings.
Imagine that you
Are a rare and beautiful fish.
Music is the crashing waves
And swirling currents
That carry you to never never land.
Imagine that you are a sailor.
Music is the wind
Whipping through your hair
Which reminds you that this is where you belong.
Imagine that you are on an adventure.

Crows above, priests below.
The soul was a city broken but not sowed with salt

streetlights swallowed by neon

Lightning crouched like an animal

raced across the skies, thick and white,

I am the waterfall
Entry into me and cleanse yourself
I am the rock
Lean on me, when you need it
I am the fire
I can warm you, and burn all your doubt
I am the wind
I can bring you new breath
If you trust in me
I can bring you new chaos in your world
If you stay with me
I can bring you new peace and order

And the little candle there in darkness
Can show you one of your paths
You choose the path
I'm on one of them.
Because I'm only waterfall...

You're my soil and I'm your tree.
My roots move deeper,

and give you confidence, safety, firmness.
Tie you and tightly hold in embrace,
tear you from inside with my roots
and you can't escape.
My wide trunk is on you the full weight.
I feel moisture from depth,
vibrations from deep ground.
I grown in you...
I'm your tree and you're my soil.

Matthew Smith had made it a point to go to as many mission sendoffs as possible during his term. The CINCNAV (Commander In Chief—Navy) of the Solean Navy was also there, standing to the left of Matthew.

The Lord of the Rings, he had seen the movies when he was younger, all those nuts were right, he thought. The book was defiantly better. Private Barnes came back in from a raid, mumbled something intelligible and collapsed on to the bunk under Brandon. He remembered joining the resistance a few months back, it wasn't exactly easy but at least they stood a chance of surviving. This was everything and nothing like the apocalypse movies he had seen as a kid. Although he supposed everything was different once you actually experienced it. At least there was food. That was more than he could say for the shabby group he was with before they got split up.

The sun beat down upon its chrome hull, but the tarnished metal had endured things far worse than insignificant heat.

One blue, glowing eye looked out on the dusty horizon, and at the same time, the titan's scanners pinged back their results. Nothing was alive in the great red wasteland that surrounded it.

To make matters worse, the orbiting capital ships were blasting away at anything that moved, not even bothering to check their targets.
