    Analysis Article The writer of the article “Overprotective parents stifle growth”, Jane Brown a retired school principal, claims that parents are too protective of their children whilst the writer of “Reality Check”, Jack Lee, indicates that parents aren’t taking enough precaution with their children. The writers use different persuasive techniques to persuade their readers such as emotive writing. The tone that the writers use is pleading and the style of both pieces are simple. There is a picture placed between both articles and is used to show a similarity between the two articles. A technique used by Jane Brown is sarcasm throughout the article. She talks about how parents are trying to create “perfect” children and “protecting” them and “incidents” occurring at school, by specifically using these words the reader thinks that there really is no such thing as…

    Wood presents the five works in Romero’s The Living Dead series as critiques of modern society, focusing centrally on the meaning expressed in the latest, when the review was written, of Romero’s films, Diary of the Dead, and how it relates to the other four films. At the end of the critic, Wood expresses his distaste of the ending and his desire for how the film should have ended, then speculates on how the film will be received as compared to the reception of the other films in the…

    "LA Fitness grew out of three clubs, each owned by one of the founders. In 1990 Fred Turock, Jeremy Taylor and David Turner decided to get together to jointly manage these clubs, with the aim of building up a network of gyms with first class facilities. In 1996 they created the LA Fitness brand and the following year they joined the top ten health and fitness club operators, catering to a wide variety of people of all shapes and sizes and with a huge range of goals. In 1999 the growth and success of the LA Fitness group led to a listing on the London Stock Exchange. In 2005 the team decided they needed more control - they wanted to make sure LA Fitness could continue to provide affordable membership and a fun environment for its growing band of members. LA Fitness now has more than 88 clubs and over a quarter of a million members all over the United Kingdom" (LA Fitness, 2007).…

It is hard to remember the days of lugging around CD’s and walk-mans. Bicycles as transportation seem like a thing of the past. Writing notes and remembering information for the next day is long forgotten. Reading encyclopedias and using books for research papers seems nonexistent. Simple technological advancements have changed how people view the world. As a child of a modern age, technology has become an integral part of my everyday life. A separation of these technical innovations…

    There are many ways you can learn to write. I believe these three ways have some of the biggest influences on a persons ability to write. The first would be creativity. Creativity from the writer gives the reader a good picture of what is being portrayed. The next would be grammar. Grammar has a large influence on a writers ability as it helps make sense of the story being told. The writers ability to read also helps influence their writing, by reading other writers pieces and getting idea to create their own style of writing and transforming it into their own. One thing that hinders a writers ability would be a disability, such as dyslexia. Dyslexia makes it hard for one to illuminate words, letters and symbols. There are many things that…

    It is not expected that a person would describe something as "fantastic" while attempting to show that they are not fond of that particular thing. The same is true in literature, especially in this excerpt from an untitled nineteenth century novel. Within this excerpt, it is clear that the narrator has negative feelings toward the characters that they are describing and, instead of using more positive language, is upfront with revealing these feelings through their own style. Style here refers to the words that the narrator chooses to use, or diction, as well as the structuring of sentences, otherwise known as syntax. The narrator of this excerpt utilizes both diction and syntax in order to demonstrate that they are disgusted with the actions…

    At the beginning of the article the author sets a scene of a typical road trip. He portraits a tranquil atmosphere using adjectives “nice” and “relaxing”. However, this peaceful scene is soon disturbed by the argument of the couple, as John couldn’t understand what Allison’s actual intentions were. The author tells an anecdote in order to explain features of women’s spoken language, such as indirect speech, in more entertaining way that would capture the reader’s attention. He implements spoken language features, for example non standard structuring of questions “everything OK darling?” and punctuation marks “… “ which indentifies the pause of the speaker, so the story would be easy to follow. The anecdote highlights the indirect speech features of Allison by the use of interrogative “ Would you like a cup of coffee?” Although, the pronoun ‘you’ should suggest that she was only addressing to her friend, John, but according to author her intentions were self-centred. She only asked, because she wanted a cup of coffee herself. The metaphor “beats around the bush” also suggests that women tent to hedge and use fillers when expressing themselves.…
