Commentary on My Writing

Commentary on My Writing

The text I have written is a letter to a writer in the tabloid

newspaper "The Sun". This text is written in a style aimed at an older

reader who is qiute educated with the age varying from 30-50 years of

age, or a perosn who has similar opioions on some tabloid newspaper

articles as the person I have presented myself as. Unlike my first

piece, my second piece entitled "extracts from moments in time" is not

opinionated, although the sublect is the same, both pieces are

presented very differently with the content, audience and purpose in

mind. I chose the topic of how the media intrudes on the lives of

celebrities, and both texts explore this subject. The second text is

in an autobiography style, which explores the feelings of a celebrity

on a personal level. This piece is aimed at people from the age of

18-30, because it involves some issues that I feel some people of that

age might be able to relate to.

To begin with I will look at my first piece. My first piece is highly

influenced by one of my inspirational pieces and in it I have included

as one of the main topics of arguement quotes form that piece. The

formality of this piece is very formal, this is shown by the layout of

the letter and the inclusion of of a return address in the top right

hand corner. I have used standard english in this peice, which is also

another reason for why it is aimed at qiute an educated reader. I have

also included some complex syntax which a younger or less educated

redaree might find difficult to understand:

" I believe that you Sir do not respect many people, or maybe you're

acknowledgement of the pain you cause runs so thin that you do not

have any idea why I am writing to you, and in such a tone as the one I

carry."

The use of the complex sentence used above also emphasis's the writers

feelings and what is being said.
