...has put significant pressure on the Australian government to solve the issue. The first piece is a news article, “Risking kids worth it”, directed towards an audience of Australians who are voting citizens, and have knowledge on the issue. In addition to voting citizens, the audience also includes government representatives as the government policy comes under serious questioning. The writer’s contention is that the Gillard’s Government change in policy of freeing women and children from detention has caused an influx in asylum seekers, especially children. Unlike the first piece, the second piece is a letter to the editor, “Free ride not wanted”, directed towards a broader audience of not only voting Australian citizens, but also the nonvoting younger citizens, who have interests in the issue and will one day be voting. The writer’s contention is that Australia’s response to asylum seekers in need of help has been dealt in an improper manner and the situation needs to be looked at. The news article “Risking kids worth it” has two parts to its whole meaning, “risking kids” and “worth it”. The former shows that putting kids in danger or jeopardy and the latter shows that is there a benefit or value. The whole title together displays the subject matter being that of placing kids in a hazardous or perilous environment make of any importance or worthiness. The letter to the editor “Free ride not wanted” also has two parts to its whole meaning, “free ride” and “not wanted”. The former...

...The editorial piece ‘The good, the bad and the ugly’ written by the editor, published in ‘The Daily Tribute’ 16th July 2009, is written in response to this “puerile cultural vandalism”. The editor slams council officials and the local government for “[dragging their] heels for months” and then “[refusing] to offer support” to local businesses and individuals. One day after the publication of this editorial piece, Michaela Whitehouse, a member of the East Park council, writes in response to the article. Whitehouse intends to set the facts straight and to “address [the editors] less enlightened remarks” through her angry yet controlled tone. The editor presents his article with the bold, cliché title ‘The good, the bad and the ugly’ capturing the attention of ‘The Daily Tribute’ readers. Accompanied by a picture dominated by “lurid and tasteless sexual diagrams and obscenities”, the editor is able to establish the demoralising effects of graffiti. The graffiti resembling the “ugly” from the title, demonstrates that these “thugs” are not interested in what their finished product looks like; they will continue to “desecrate” properties at their own accord. The opening paragraph of the editorial embeds strong and attention grabbing language enforcing the difference between hardworking “entrepreneurs” and “dual-mortgage bearers” and “thugs” who “desecrate” the freshly painted wall of “heavily pregnant” women. The editor not only raises sympathy for Patrick and his “heavily pregnant wife”...

...Growth will cost us dearly: Growth will cost us dearly is an article written about the Melbourne growth statistics that were released in March. Margrit Alm, who is from Eltham, has written it to the Herald Sun. It is a letter to the editor, and a strong opinion piece. The author wants to evoke feeling in the targeted audience, who are all of an age to remember Melbourne in the 1960s and before a great rise in economic and population growth. The author is clearly against the growth of population, and the tone of the article reflects this with rhetorical questioning paired with subtle and slight fear mongering. Alm lives in a suburb of Melbourne, so therefore she has a bias towards how the city is changing. The headline persuades the targeted...
