Section C Discussion

first title I analysed, i thought it was really good to analyse. second i didn't even see a title.

Inclusive language in the first title was nice, immediately appeals to a sense of unity

I didn't specify unity or inclusive language, but I think I linked it to 'us moving forward into the future' and 'right now' vibe that the author was giving.

This may put some at ease...
I scored an 8 on my LA essay in my practice exam which was graded by an external assessor even tho I failed to make the author's contention clear whoops

[Jono_CP]

Correct me if I am wrong, but even though they are two different objects basically the contention and effect remains the same (sun/moon). E.g. promoting space exploration

first title I analysed, i thought it was really good to analyse.

I enjoyed that title as well, i talked about a common view that dreams gather beyond the clouds, so space, and that in order to explore our dreams we must also explore space. It's probably gonna be slammed, but it's just a wacky interpretation of the title that i had and thought i might as well write it up.

[Addzkebabs]

Well the first article wanted money to spend on space exploration for the 'beautiful blue planet.' I used this quote as a cue as the Doctor said for this 'precious blue planet' or something along those lines. That was basically the only comparison. With the Dcotor because he wrote that in response to Yvette, I was just going on about how he condemns the expenditure for space exploration when we have 'real issues' like diseases and the environment, allowing the audience to decide what issue is more important to them.

I wrote it better but yeah, thats really all the comparison I did, it wasn't really comparing you just had to analyse, but quite naturally i compared in linking the two.

Thanks for the insight Mine went along the same lines, i just really struggled to find a main sticking point of persuasion haha

Can you guys pls tell me what your contentions were?

[roger_that14]

mine was contained in a quote towards the end of the first page along the lines of "space expedition is essential for the growth of society"

[marsbareater12]

Can you guys pls tell me what your contentions were?

For the first, "space exporation that is co-operated by all is beneficial to all" (except better expressed, hahah), second was "we should put our effort towards maintaining and repairing our earth"(which was also better expressed. )

[doomdestroyer]

Can you guys pls tell me what your contentions were?

For the opinion piece : Space exploration should be considered funding from governments to ensure that we can all reap the benefits from it.

For the letter to the editor: We shouldn't be even thinking about space exploration before we solve current issues on Earth such as hunger and diseases.

I cried a little inside when I realised there was a title for the second one. Then I cried outside and people call me a sook still to this day.

"Off this planet" I believe, I just included it as an example of Laikas' use of sarcasm. Did anyone feel there was just a lot of junk in there? Like the dove part and the 2 parts on the right of the first image?

Yeah, the article was pretty shoddy, i just dumped the dove part into my conclusion because #YOLO

[Addzkebabs]

Can you guys pls tell me what your contentions were?

My contention was based around that of Yvette advocating the actions of "influential thinkers" Kolombus-21 because of human nature to explore, technological advances that are the result space related research and therefore how investing in space exploration is directly beneficial to society... And Laikis preaches the falsity of the 'illusion' of solving problems through leaving Earth and rather how we must work to solve existing issues. I'm not exactly sure how I phrased it because my brain is still fried from the exam but yeah.. something along those lines Lmao
