The Daily Telegraph

For my coursework piece, I decided to a newspaper chromatography column which had been produce online. The piece was written as if it had been published in The Daily Telegraph, a right-wing kernel class newspaper. I chose to do the piece because I am interested in current personal business and newspapers, and I am a very narrow-minded person. I thought that a newspaper column would be a good place to look at my opinion on the topical story of waterboarding.For my panache model, I went onto the Telegraphs website and found a newspaper column by Boris Johnson, the Conservative Mayor of London. As a Conservative, his column had a slight anti-Labour bias, although it was very cunning and often humorous. I attempted to replicate this when I mentioned that waterboarding is classed as an enhanced interrogation technique and quickly quipped that that was more spin in one phrase than Alaistair Campbell managed in an entire dossier a reference to the contr oversial family Dossier w hich sexed up claims that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction.From that quote, we brush off front around of the writers persona, seeing immediately that they are critical of the Iraq War, condescension later making it clear he is a Conservative (thankfully, Im a son of Thatcher). We can see more of the writers persona throughout, by writing with a high register, we see that they are quite modern and maybe slightly arrogant.The piece starts with a graphical description of what would happen to a victim of waterboarding, unless as it features direct address, it makes the reader feel give care that it is happening to them you have a bag over your head, you are shackled, you feel manage you are drowning. After each description of the torture, the real theme is introduced. Originally, my piece was going to follow a structure by which each waterboarding scenario would be followed by the writers opinion, but before my final draft I decided that this actually distracted from the main intend of the article, so I decided not to lodge with this idea. My main argument starts in the paragraph lineage Lets be clear on this matter. That excoriate of let us be clear makes it seem like I know what I am talking about and that I am world altogether honest. My arguments are further bolstered by listing officials who have disagreed with George Bushs claims, such as the Director of reality Prosecutions and the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights.The summing up of my arguments begins with George Bushs original comment which sparked this news story. The language utilize in the ensuing four paragraphs is emotive, and reads almost as if it were a speech. It really attempts to put the reader on the side of writer, and make them believe that Bush was completely out of order. The story was published on the calendar week on which Remembrance Day fell, so I as the writer incorporated this to try and cuff the reader and make them nod sagely in agreement wit h me when I state that the reason we entered the reciprocation Wars in the first place was to fight for our lives and our rights, and then contrasting that by saying that Bush a former leader of the free world can say that freedom and democracy can go to pot if it might save some lives. The succeeding(a) one clause sentences have a soon and long lasting impact by exclusively refuting Bushs claims.I enjoyed writing this piece, as it gave me a calamity to put my opinions forward. Having my peers read my work and give feedback was a good experience that I enjoyed, as I like people correcting me and reading my work.
