The Style of the Articles by Sarah Cassidy

The style of headline in which the 'Daily Mail' contains is very

effective as the big bold figures are shocking and provoke anger

because it shows that prisoners who are 'served up a meal' are being

treated better then children who 'get lunch'. It also uses

alliteration to make the drastic title stick in readers' minds. This

is similar to the style that the 'Independent' uses, it is very direct

which would have the effect of worry and rage using such language as

'cheap muck'. It is inviting as many people would react to this blunt

statement that in this case has been associated with children but also

the word 'muck' is also used as a term for pig's food any person

recognising this would be concerned. This contrasts with the

'Guardian' which rather than anger provoking it is more thought

provoking and intriguing as you would not initially think the children

would 'cry' out for their greens. This is an emotive and a phrase

well-known by adult but parent in particular.

The use of photographs in the article by Sarah Cassidy shows the food

is 'cheap' and processed with three schools boys drinking sugary fizzy

drinks which has the effect of these innocent young children having no

choice but to eat unhealthy food. This photo corresponds to the Daily

Mail as the image contains an innocent child eating the common fatty

chips to enforce the point of the title. Again, these two articles

contrast with the Guardian of a photograph of children eating a

variety of what looks like nutritious acceptable foods. It is a mutual

image to show that there are ways of improvement - this agrees with

the message the title conveys as well.

The sort of opinion we are given by the Daily Mail is that the

'low-quality processed food' given to the children is horrific and not

only that is it affecting their appearance as more and more children

are becoming obese but there is a 'health' issue involved also.

  • Analysis Of Fed Up By Stephanie Soechtig

    761 Words  | 2 Pages

    This documentary takes a look at how our school’s lunch programs and government play a role in the spread of obesity across the nation. The film really attempts to drive home the idea that our children are being immorally brainwashed into wanting unhealthy foods. At some points of the film, it appears that the director uses big companies and school lunches as a scapegoat for our nations crisis. It is a valid point that our nation’s children are being

  • Kathleen Parker’s Article, First Three Years Aren’t That Critical

    1379 Words  | 3 Pages

    Did your mother read to you when you were six weeks old? Did she teach you how to do math problems when you were two? Recently, I read an issue of Parenting Magazine and found an article on child development. Kathleen Parker’s article, “First Three Years Aren’t That Critical” tells us that parents today are putting to much emphasis on what the media and medical journals are saying, instead of using common sense. The article emphasizes that parents are going overboard on these new studies using good argumentative techniques. Although I found not all of what she said was accurate, I still felt she got her point across. Parker uses evidence from scientists and medical books, to further persuade the reader to side with her opinion. Parker uses good persuasive techniques by showing that not everything you read in the media about child development is true or factual. Parker also shows that she is not one-sided on the issue and gives a personal comment about the opposing viewpoint. I feel the author proved her point that parents are being ridiculous in how they are raising their child these days.

    Kate Chopin is a phenomenal writer, with two published novels and over one hundred short stories, not only does her writing style keep the reader intrigued, but also the setting, dialect, and history behind her work tell a story all its own. Chopin uses contrast in her writing "The Story of an Hour" through the hints about the quality of Mr. And Mrs. Mallard 's marriage, Mrs. Mallards emotions toward her husband 's death, and Mrs. Mallards death to emphasize her theme of gender roles in a time when women had no rights.

  • Evaluation Jane Ellen Stevens' Article

    1440 Words  | 3 Pages

    Today's media mainly focuses on violent stories that capture the viewer's attention. So how are we, as viewers, affected by these stories? In her article, "The Violence Reporting Project: A New Approach to Covering Crime", Jane Ellen Stevens focuses on the effects the media have on the viewers and the people within a community. I agree with Stevens when she states that the media fails to provide viewers with information on community violence and violence prevention. Without the knowledge of the violence that is going on in our neighborhoods, we are led to not being able to distinguish the difference between what is real and fantastic crime. In essence, we have a false perception on the reputation of our communities. Also, not knowing about violence prevention increases the number of crimes occurring in neighborhoods. Journalists report crimes from a law enforcement and criminal standpoint. They do not inform the public about statistics and facts. As a result, our agency is being mitigated that our knowledge is being taken away from us and that we, as viewers, are not properly informed about violent incidents that occur in our communities. By not knowing what is going on in our communities, we are slowly losing our agency to act upon preventing violence and crimes. The lack of agency is so problematic because humans are slowly losing their ability to perform certain actions to keep ourselves and our neighborhood safe.

Lizzie Borden was found innocent even though many found her guilty due to evidence against her. Some might say that justice was done but was it truly done? During the trial, a famous poem about the case was made, “Lizzie Borden took an ax, gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one.”. This poem was written about Lizzie Borden, who was accused of the murder of her father and stepmother on August 4, 1892. Both her father and stepmother were violently murdered within their own home at the fall of an ax. Even though the poem did

  • A Modest Proposal Rhetorical Devices

    To put things into perspective, famine and poverty made huge impacts on Irish society which would’ve made the respective audience either well-off considering the circumstances, or one of the “beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children,” (Swift 2633). With this said, authors such as Robert Phiddian claim that “the reader is caught between two authorial voices in the text, that of the Proposer's and that of Swift's, and whichever way he turns, he has to confront the truth that there are those who devour and there are those who are devoured” (1). Irish society would have either placed readers of the essay under those who were able to raise a child comfortably, inevitably placing them in the class where the consumption of said children would have been the proposed norm, or as those who had to sell their human kin for consumption in the Irish market. The lack of room for escape from being placed in either category forces the reader to essentially come to terms with either idea in the midst of their initial shock and discourse at eating babies and

    ‘Tis been quite some time since I have last seen you though I know and have realized that today, on the Führer’s birthday, that I “would never see her [mother] again” (Zusack, #). I understand that we are only victims of circumstance, though I am not angered with you, Papa, or Mama. I am only furious with that of the Führer, the one who took your loving arms from me. Sometimes I wish, if only, that I could see you once more, and sometimes I wish that I could sneak off into the woods and scream about my hatred. Oh, my hatred. I shall not let it engulf me. I shall not let it take me; I shall only learn to keep living without you, though it hurts my heart. That is true. Though the pain persists within my aching heart, I have found some happiness in my new home on Himmel Street with Mama

  • Mary Oliver Research Paper

    992 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the America’s most popular poets finds her inspiration in an unconventional way: on frequent walks through the forest with a small hand-sewn notebook in her back pocket, brandishing pencils she had previously hidden in trees so sudden ideas would never leave her bereft of something to write with. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, Mary Oliver pulls much of her subject matter from the nature that she immerses herself in. She is intensely private and secretive, preferring instead “to let her poetry speak for itself” (Duenwald). Oliver’s highly commended work is dedicated to her late partner of over 40 decades, Molly Malone Cook, an established photographer responsible for many of the photographs available of the seclusive Oliver (Popova). Drawing inspiration from her Ohio childhood and Provincetown home, Oliver’s unique style of poetry features straightforward imagery that is easy to

  • School Lunch Program History

    484 Words  | 1 Pages

    For instance, in the beginning of the video, the episode documented that children were consuming pizza for breakfast, eating mash potatoes made from potato pellets from a bag, and choosing not to consume the healthier options, such as 2% or fat-free milk, as well as throwing away their untouched fruits. The episode also documented the short term and long term health detriments the lunches could have on the children if they continue to eat that way, even proclaiming that generation is projected to not live as long as their parents. However, there are many barriers that stand in the way of altering school lunches that are difficult to amend. For example, the rules set in place by the USDA are quite rigid and convoluted with guidelines that must be followed precisely. Even then, most of the staff workers in the cafeteria are adamant in their ways and are unwilling to

    The children range in age from 12-15 and their issues from simple obesity to needing gastric-bypass surgery. The children are fed fast food in school cafeterias, with government labeling of pizza, fries and tomato paste as vegetables. Stores have candies and snacks at children’s eye level, and at home they eat the standard offerings of processed foods. One of the other things this film shows is the complete lack of support for these families in the area of proper diet education. A couple of the parents talked about the doctors encouraging them to seek help with nutrition, the doctors did not have any useful advice on where to get this
