Language Analysis

[Sanguinne]

In a language analysis, is it possible to analyse how a hypothetical situation persuades the reader???

a hypothetical siatuation such as this?

"If you lived in a country governed by a tyrannical regime, and your parents had been kiled, and family members had been brutalised and put in prision without trial or in some cases shot without trial, what would you then do?

[brenden]

Certainly possible.

By providing the reader with a hypothetical situation, Fraser makes the issue of asylum-seekers personal. The repetition of the words "you" and "your" makes the issue direct and by asking questions such as, "What would you do," the reader is left speechless and at a loss for words. This hypothetical situation provides the reader with a grim scene where "[their] parents [have] been killed and family members [have] been brutalised." This cruel setting evokes an emotional response as the mere prospect of one's parents dieing brings brings sadness. In addition, this situation also brings sympathy for the asylum seekers especially as many of them have to go through this terrifying ordeal. The sadness, pity and sympathy generated in the reader persuade them to agree that refugess should be allowed to seek asylum in Australia
