The first issue he looks at is poetry’s marginality in Australian society. I think the best way that he expressed this was when he wrote ‘Marginality, as I have been suggesting, may be fundamental in our culture to the notion of poetry’ (McCooey 2005, pg. 5). He adapts quotes from published papers to support his opinions; always-using articles from well know sources like ‘The Australian’ and ‘The Sunday Age’. I feel by using these sources people feel more trusting and secure to side with something that seems more familiar too them.
This adds further realism to the play, with detailed analysis of the way characters communicate. For example, character such as Milly are positioned by Davis to be dignified and proud her cultural identity. Yet others such as Jimmy are carefully used by Davis to add interest to the story by reinforcing and breaking stereotypes. At times he is loud, rude abusive and acts as the white perception of aboriginal society at the time, (and possibly by some today). But Davis goes on to break the stereotype by showing Jimmy is not as ‘stupid’ and undignified as first perceived.
Although each leader shares common ideas, their approaches in presenting these ideas differ greatly. Keating appeals to the audience’s emotions in an effort to unite all Australians during a commemorative time, whereas Pearson tries to reason with the audience’s intellect, attempting to achieve reconciliation. The reception of each speech is greatly influenced by the speech’s sole purpose and context, whether it be in the 1990s or in the present.
The persuasive techniques that Mccgrain used in the article to grab the attention of the readers and to explain the issue to the audience, as well as show them the a different side the representatives. He did this by using the following techniques in certain ways. Rhetorical questions were used to give a dramatic question that doesn’t need an answer because u can already clearly understand and see the answer to it, it is also used to highlight points and to position the reader to agree with the writer. For example the rhetorical question that was used within the article by Mccgrain was “ you want to see
The piece begins with a rhetorical question asking readers “where do we go now after the High Court decision and the political impasse?” This has an effect of including readers and making them active members in the “hysterical … debate surrounds boats and people smuggers”. The writers are critical of the government’s ability to “defend and develop good policy”, insisting that it is in “daily crisis mode”. This fearless approach in attacking the Labor party allows the readership to view the writers as assertive and outspoken members of the Australian public; thus leading readers to consider the arguments proposed in an increasingly attentive manner. Furthermore, the ballot box in the visual that is presented alongside the piece represents that the piece is targeted predominantly at voters; Menadue and Keski-Nummi utilise their authoritative background in insisting that voters are possessive of the power to influence certain government policies that the writers are critical
Asada Good morning/afternoon Ms Collins and fellow students today I will be talking to you about an analysis on my topical issue, the Australian sports anti-doping authority, more commonly known as asada and whether or not the involvement of peptides and performance enhancements is fair in sport at an elite level. The asada investigation on the Essendon football club continues to be ongoing, with the first speculations and accusations on the 5 of February 2013. From then on people’s views and thoughts often fluctuate as there is new contradicting and frequently misleading evidence that is published, in the age. My oral presentation will hopefully provide you with a more clear idea and understanding of the Essendon asada case. Essendon’s chairman Paul Little has described his club's decision-making in a recent age editorial, days before the launch of last year's unprecedented doping investigation as misguided.
This is highlighted with the continuous use of asyndeton breaking down the cultural, social and environmental binaries that everyday Australians face. For example, ‘what religion, if he had a religion, if he was married or single’. The asyndeton employed coupled with the use of the anaphora ‘we do not know’ poses the question to the audience ‘What does it truly mean to be Australian?’ By Keating highlighting the unknown aspects, he entices audiences to mould the Unknown Soldier their will, someone who they can relate to. Keating then places the Unknown Soldier as the centre point through the anaphora of ‘one’ and line ‘he is all of them and one of us.’ This emotional assertion to the audience creates a patriotic sense of belonging to the. Finally the line ‘we have gained a legend, a story of bravery and sacrifice...what it means to be Australian’ appeals to the pathos of the Australian public that they are ‘legendary‘ through the ‘sacrifices’ and their
The quality of the writing in this booklet is very detailed. The use of the simple words in each section of the book makes it easy for the readers to understand and interpret the issue. The author creates a very interesting tone to her writing by using the appeal of Pathos to persuade the readers to gain more political knowledge and take part in restoring their rights. 12. How does this book compare with others on the subject?
AUSTRALIA. A new nation was born in 1901 and in its teething stages was called upon to sacrifice the lives of many of its young men who fought valiantly and died in Gallipoli to defend the freedom and democracy that we enjoy today. Good morning everyone. Today I will be speaking on federation and how it created Australia’s national identity. For those of us who may not be aware, Australia has had a controversial past with its White Australia policy and its treatment of the lost generation of its indigenous peoples.
Though the contents, purpose and audience of "Vaccination Information" from Australian Vaccination Network and "Facts about Whooping Cough Vaccine (diptheria, tetanus and pertussis - dTpa vaccine)." from Department of Health (WA) are totally different, by choosing the appropriate writing style, they are both very persuasive and informative documents that support their arguments and serve well to their corresponding audience.
