‘The Daily Mail’ and ‘The Guardian’ have both written an article surrounding the issue of ‘CALAIS’. Both newspaper show different styles of writing, both newspaper has also taken a different approach to how they write about the topic of ‘Calais’. In this essay I shall be comparing and contrasting both newspaper article.

Comparing both headlines firstly starting with the Daily mail ‘How Calais’ ‘jungle’ migrant camp has now become a mini city- complete with restaurants, a theatre, book shops and free Wi-Fi’ With such a bold headline, it would seem that The Daily Mail would be sending a message to the public were by the Migrant do not need much help as they have all that they need in their now ‘ jungle’ migrant camp. Whereas if we take a look …show more content…

The Daily Mail uses descriptive writing to paint a specific picture to the reader, an example of this is ‘…. The notorious ‘Jungle’ migrant camp in Calais, has grown into a self- contained mini-city – a permanent magnet for people trying to get to Britain.’ (Mail Online, (2015). How Calais 'Jungle' migrant camp has become a mini city. [online] Available at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3348594/Restaurants-theatre-free-wifi-Calais-Jungle-migrant-camp-mini-city.html [Accessed 24 Feb. 2016].) This article is also written in a simple/complex way this is done specifically for their target audience. Another style of writing which is used in the daily mail article is persuasive style of writing ‘Almost every need is catered for as charities supply hot meals …….’ (Mail Online, (2015). How Calais 'Jungle' migrant camp has become a mini city. [online] Available at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3348594/Restaurants-theatre-free-wifi-Calais-Jungle-migrant-camp-mini-city.html [Accessed 24 Feb. …show more content…

Throughout the article a more formal structure takes place I would also say that the article contains expository style of writing.
Another style of writing which the guardian uses would be the narrative style of writing ‘…… Volunteers do their best, bringing food, clothing, tarpaulins; smugger gangs do their worst, preying on people’s desperation’ ( Cooper, Y. (2016). The most shocking thing about Calais is that it’s not even too big to solve | Yvette Cooper. [online] the Guardian. Available at: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jan/07/calais-french-migrant-camps-refugee-crisis [Accessed 24 Feb. 2016].)

The motivation of both newspaper is to inform the public of what is taking place around the world. The Guardian reaches out to people for the public to understand how difficult the migrants have it whereas the Daily mail uses a more negative approach towards the current

Many objects are made up of smaller ones: all of the bricks that go into one Lego structure, the various ingredients that make up the cake, and the many gears of a clock. Like these objects, a writer's style that he uses to persuade his audience is constructed the same way. A writer uses many rhetorical devices - the parts- to make one style- the whole piece. One writer that has a specific style is Leonard Pitts. Pitts is a journalist who writes editorials for The Miami Herald.

This describes the person to be hard working and strong. Hyperbole is used in some parts of the excerpt involving homeless. In paragraph four, it said the homeless continue to haunt today’s cities. It would seem the homeless aren’t a major problem of today’s cities compared with the crime. Figurative language can determine the types of languages being used, this relates to how a story is written with a rhyme scheme.

Connotative words really help when expressing a topic in more detail. This is objective because it is just describing something that exists in real life. The next example from the article is cited in paragraph five in chapter one. ”The stark brick and steel halls echo the look of the barracks and gas chambers of Nazi concentration camps.” The word choice in this sentence sends off an eerie vibe.

When writing a novel authors must think not only about what they are about to write, but why they are going to write it. They have to select diction that will convey their inner thoughts and emotions. There is a need of imagery to pull the reader into the story so they will not lose their drive to read. Tone must constantly shift in order to keep the reader so engaged that they are determined to read until it all makes sense. From the longest to the shortest sentence, there is a reason -- called syntax-- why that sentence is there.

For visual elements, this El Chapo article appears to use both real and fake images to enhance the appearance and credibility of the article. The “New York Post” name at the top of the article represents that the New York Post published this article. A short bit of research determined that the font used for the “New York Post” title in the El Chapo article is consistent with the font used in the real New York Post.

One of the most effect ways of communication is writing. It allows that author to completely unravel what they truly believe. A good author, though, knows what he or she believes, so when writing they are able to present their believes in a way that persuades the readers to absorb the argument and contemplate what the author presents in comparison to their own beliefs. Charles Blow, who writes for The New York Times, writes as described previously in a sarcastic, yet dignified tone, which shifts when presenting both sides of an argument. Sentence structure also allows Blow to set apart what is important and what the reader needs to take note of.

1a. The target audience for this article is United States citizens, particularly those who side with Democratic political views. I believe this because the article is about how the United States of America is responding to the Paris Attacks in regards to the admission of Syrian refugees into our country. The main focus of this piece is on the ideas some Republican leaders have shared that they believe to be the best way to handle this issue. By selectively shedding light on these chosen responses, the authors shows that he is writing to those who don’t agree with these Republicans, which is most commonly Democrats.

Swift makes extensive use of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos within the first eight paragraphs to create a strong initial argument that captures the audience’s attention and provide assurance that the information presented is viable. Swift starts with an appeal to Pathos by describing the state of Ireland: “the Streets, the Roads, and Cabin-Doors, crowded with Beggars of the female Sex, followed by three, four, or six Children, all in Rags, and importuning every Passenger for an Alms” (Swift, 1). The description of Ireland leaves a gloomy effect on the audience, as they are met with a somber tone set forth by a description on how thousands of people are affected by the poverty in Ireland. Swift continues this appeal to Pathos by describing the state of families within this poverty: “this prodigious number of Children, in the Arms, or on the Backs, or at the heels of their Mothers, and frequently of their Fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the Kingdom, a very great additional grievance” (Swift, 2). This description of the melancholy state of Ireland creates an emotional appeal because, the thought of having mass amounts of children being forced to cling to their Mothers and Fathers in a desperate struggle for survival, is a morose image.

conceptualised as an important factor in influencing credibility. Results are discussed in terms of possible heuristics involved in judgements of an asylum-seeker population, as well as implications for vulnerable asylum seekers whose symptoms do not conform to stereotypes` . Talking about new recruits Juany states that they are not taught about refugee’s rights and options but techniques to identify the lies in asylum seekers narratives. He further says `that if you find inconsistencies you are less likely to believe and so to give them entry.

To. Mrs. Hopkins, Recently, I have read your controversial and callous article ‘If Britain is prepared to provide an all-inclusive resort service for asylum seekers, the least they can do is wear a bloody wristband.’ From a student with a family member who has experienced being a refugee, I know that the issues regarding asylum seekers and refugees are critical in the modern society. Therefore, I feel that your article, mostly oversimplified and prejudiced, could mislead lots of readers to have undesirable views on those people who are in need.

The style of which the story is being written is both descriptive and quite colorful, for example, “Um-hmm!... Ain’t you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face?”(Hughes pg.1) Hughes also introduces some specific languages and styles of literary devices such as repetition, hyperboles, and interjection. He also uses an exaggeration when trying to make a point, for example, “She said, ‘You a lie!’” ( Hughes pg.1 ).
