Charlie Brooker: General Election 2010
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/may/03/charlie-brooker-cameron-brown-clegg
Brooker's article's primary purpose is to engage and entertain. He is a comedian, as well as a journalist and so his satirial humour is usually the main front of any of his articles. However there is an underlying serious tone to his writing. His lexical choice of adjectives with negative connotations when describing these politicians imply to which party he would have voted. He describes Cameron as "100% something" as he is unsure whether he is human or not
. (to finish)!!
His audience would be for, possibly people who are fans of his, as his articles have quite the following and are popular, but also for people who are interested in politics, and looking to vote in the 2010 General Election.
His form is an online newspaper article. He has an appealing headline that gives readers a glimpse into his satirical writing and also what kind of article it will be as it is not an article solely for informing readers with facts or persuading them to agree with him.
Art Therapy
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/art-therapy-mental-health-edward-adamson-wellcome-collection-jung-a7227126.html
This article's purpose is to inform and explain the use of art therapy in mental health facilities and how it can help with recovery.
The type of audience would be people who are experiencing mental health difficulties and are looking for help/advice on art therapy, or professionals in mental health who are looking to do work including art therapy and want some evidence or opinions on it.
The writing is an article that starts with a poignant slogan, "Healing with paint", this is a more personal point of view that would set up the article for the author to explain the rest of the art therapy work.
Men's mental health
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/rachel-egan/feminist-men-mental-health_b_8484594.html
This article has a strong purpose to inform the reader. The author has used paragraphs that start with facts and comments about men's mental health.
The audience would be not only men who don't have the education on mental health, but everyone who is old enough to grasp the tough subjects of mental health and suicide because the author is trying to break the stigma around men and their mental health, so this article would be useful for any gender/any age.
The form is a very informative article. The author has clearly used this form as it is best fit for the purpose.
Charlie Brooker: Marriage
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2007/jan/29/lifeandhealth.comment
This article's purpose is to entertain. Brooker uses a lot of sarcastic, satirical humour whilst also giving his opinion on subjects.
The form is an article, the structure of an introduction and then paragraphed writing best fit the author's needs.
The audience would most likely be people who follow Charlie Brooker's articles and are regular readers.
Stranger Things: Season 2
http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/stranger-things-season-2-renewed-netflix-1201840420/
This article's purpose was to inform and possibly entertain as the contents of the article would be entertaining to some.
The form is a short paragraphed article as there wasn't much news to tell and it wasn't an article full of personal opinions, it was more to just inform viewers of the facts.
The audience would most likely be fans of the show, "Stranger Things", as they would be the ones who would want to know if the show was being renewed for a second season.
