Protecting Children from Malnutrition

Feeding children in Mogadishu was very difficult, ‘’ Fatia and Halima are fighting to protect their children from malnutrition”.

The parents don’t want the children to be malnourished, “ don’t want babies to become weak and malnourished”.

They rely on the world food programme, “ the clinic gives out monthly rations of plumpy sup a peanut butter based ready to easy paste packet vitamins, minerals, and, other nutrients”.

The food comes all ready made as they don’t have the resources to cook the food, ‘’I don’t have to cook it and the children like it’’.

There is a lot of ways in which the children benefit from eating the plumpy sup, “when danger increased from what borne diseases and infections, especially cholera and diarrhoea, the children need to be strong when the rain comes”.

Nigel Slater had a colourful experience at the sweet shop, “behind the counter were row upon row of sweetie jars, their lids so round and wide the assistant would barely get her hand around them”.

Imagery is used for visual impact, “elegant, port, brandy, shiny”. The effect of this is that the sweets are portrait as very colourful and tasty things. It gives the audience a good impression of visiting the sweet shop, as it was a pleasant experience.

A simile is used to emphasise how shiny the humbugs were, “black and white humbugs as shiny as a marble floor”. The effect of that is that the audience is able to visualise exactly how shiny the black and white humbugs were”. The language that is used makes the sweets look very appetizing and that Nigel Slater remembers the taste and the look of the sweets.

The words “Dazzled and confused” were used to emphasise how shocking the sweets were and how confusing it was to choose which one to eat first. It gives you feeling of the mood at that very moment in time at the sweet shop.

Repetition is used for to illustrate how surprised Nigel Slater was, “No where have I encountered”. The language used tells the reader about the nations love for sweets and how it plays an important part in the culture of Britain. By repetition its stressing the significance of visiting a sweet shop and going through the motions of selecting one of the exotic and variety of sweets.

The word dissolves is used twice to tell the audience exactly what happens when you put one of those unique sweets in your mouth and the experience that you will have.

The sources are presented in similar ways.

Source 1 is presented on a website. Source 2 is presented on a website. The audience for source 1 would be adults, young teenagers and Tinie tempah’s overall fans. The audience for source 2 would be adults. Source 1 is more entertaining and Source 2 is more informative.

Both the websites navigation bars are simple and clear and easy to use. Source 2’s navigation bar has more colours used on it compared to source 1’s navigation bar perhaps to emphasise how important the food programme is to the people of Mogadishu.

The title on source 1 is large, bold and humorous, “pop will eat itself”. The reason why it is in bold is to catch the audience’s attention. Whereas the title on source 2 has a smaller font and isn’t bold. The reason for it having a smaller font would be because it doesn’t play as much importance in unlike source 1.

There are two images on source 2 whereas there is only one image on source 1. That might be because the writer wants the audience to see the struggling families hence why two images are used to emphasise that the families are struggling. It relates to the website because its about food and the people in the images are struggling for food.

Contrast is used to show the difference between source 1 and 2 in terms of how tinie tempah doesn’t struggle for food and has had varies different experiences of the many types of food there are whereas in source 2 the people of Mogadishu are struggling for food and rely on the world food programme to feed their children.
