Investigating the way Emma Watson is represented after her speech in her new role as UN goodwill Ambassador.
The three articles I will be writing about are: Extract 1 is a tabloid paper which was published by The Mail Online. The second tabloid article is Extract 2 which is an article by The Express and the last article I will be analysing is Extract 3 which is a Broadsheet paper by The Guardian which followed a week after the two other extracts. All three articles mention Emma Watson In a different light and reach out to different audiences in each.

The First article, from The Mail Online focuses more towards a less sophisticated audience as the language used is more informal. The article was published on the 21st of September 2014 as headline news and the approach of the article is to show Emma Watson’s new role but it also focuses more on her outfit and her appearance. The heading starts with the exclamative idiomatic phrase ‘She means business!’ which is patronising towards her change in role to the UN Goodwill Ambassador as she is seen as a celebrity figure rather than a business woman and they’re only judging from her appearance rather than what she has said in her speech. The heading supports evidence of the article being tabloid as it is missing an article such as ‘a’, this gives an immediate focus on Emma Watson. Sibilance and alliteration ‘smart and sophisticated’ is also used in the headline followed by the contrasting verb ‘belting’ as this makes the headline explosive and engages the reader.
The first article goes straight into talking about her speech at the ‘UN women’s HeForShe campaign presentation’ in Uruguay and also mentions her jetting off to New York which shows her passion for the global campaign but the verb ‘jetted’ relates to her stylish lifestyle as a celebrity. This also suggests her importance and mocks her new found role as UN goodwill Ambassador. Emma Watson is described to have ‘turned heads’ which is an idiom as she is just

    Watson’s incredible speech is so memorable because of her wise use of rhetorical devices and persuasive techniques. Proof of this analysis is in her speech, when she proclaims, “Why is the word such an uncomfortable one?” Watson uses this rhetorical question to provoke the opposing audience, and make them question their own perspective of feminism. “I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men.” This use of repetition emphasizes the fact that women lack many rights that men have. Watson’s use of repetition animates the audience, which creates confidence. Confidence is contagious and Watson’s position inspires those listening to support the cause. In addition, Watson uses an allusion in one of her rhetorical questions. “You might be thinking who is this Harry Potter girl?” She may have used this reference from her life to demonstrate her confidence and lack of fear about talking about such a controversial topic. Watson wanted to give the audience a reason to listen to her, and why her beliefs are valid, and this allusion demonstrates that confidence she has to speak up among…

    As a citizen growing up in America we all learn to recite the pledge, branding the ideals of liberty and justice for all. However, how much of this statement is true? According to Jean Mills and Carol Eichelberger in their article “A Quiet Fight to Marry”, this fundamental foundation of the United States of America is as ironic as the people to vow to protect these freedoms. This lesbian couple living in Alabama, where it is very difficult for many to accept the concept of a same-sex couple, has set out on an extensive journey to become activists whom will protect their rights and benefits that many opposite-sex couples currently receive. They effectively do this through a use of various rhetorical techniques to capture, maintain, and sympathize with the reader’s attention.…

    The epic poem Beowulf describes the adventures of a hero who saved the people of Danelaw by defeating the terrifying monster, Grendel. Centuries later, John Gardner narrates the tale as seen from the monster’s point of view. Even though both pieces of literature relate the same events, their stories differ in many ways including the way in which the character Beowulf is portrayed, the way in which the character Grendel is portrayed, their descriptions of the fight scene between Beowulf and Grendel, as well as the overall tone of each literary work.…

    Being known as the “Harry Potter girl”, I questioned what substance she could bring to such an important issue. However, Emma acknowledged this cliché and served to confront her given opportunity to cause awareness. In this sense Watson slowly sealed the holes in our doubt in her (Hill, 2014) and we were left accepting her speech as trustworthy. Also, through mentioning her own experiences of discrimination using words like “I have seen”, and describing how she aims to combat the inequities feeling “it’s [her] responsibility to say something” (United Nations, 2014), her ethos grew in our eyes knowing she cared on a more personal…
