"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?

no i neglected the dove and just said something like it is named after colombus so we have to live up to his name. manipulating articles woop

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 completely agree

[quack]

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT LOVES SPACE AND WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE SPACE? IT was probably a shit article but I was so blinded by space, I get so emotionally involved and connected to these exploration things. Fuark. It was the best article for me, but it was so shit in terms of stuff to analyse the impact on the audience.

Haha, I was like that as well. I also felt kind of biased towards Yergo because of that.. (｡♥‿♥｡)

I actually had no idea what the 'Dove' was referring to.

This exactly. The last two paragraphs of the letter felt like he repeated the 2nd paragraph over and over too

idk the guy was at Kolombus 21 and he asked whether the exhibition was named after colombus the explorer, and the guy said 'sort of but not really' as it was named after a 'dove' which is the international sign for peace or something along those lines. I didn't write any of that i don't know how i remember it.

The dove is a symbol of piece meaning that Kolumbus-21 is all about space exploration on peaceful terms.

I got that bit. There was something about it being the name of a group. Unless that was the Kolumbus-21 group. Either way, it seemed a bit unnecessary and confusingly worded.

Tone transitions of the first article: reflective tone of admiration. Opens in the second person "not as far as you might think", "if you live in Victoria" (analyse connotations of language and links between issue and proximity to the audience here).

 Then at the 4th paragraph(?), the one about government incentives, the tone becomes a pragmatic, and slightly more cynical one "there needs to be more than" "huge amount of money" etc.

The second 'article' moved from a sarcastic tone, to a condemnatory tone and then concluded with a pragmatic tone.

I could rewrite my response if people are interested? Pretty sure I tore this language analysis to shreds, LA is always generally my strongest. Text on the other hand.....

ALSO: LANGUAGE ANALYSIS CONCLUSIONS ARE UNNECESSARY!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE AN ARGUMENT, what the hell are you concluding???

@Sparked

I didn't see any of these tonal changes, and still don't. But i commend you, sir.

Seconded. Regardless, as long as you provide evidence and analysis I suppose you can justify yourself

[sparked]

This is true! All about justification.

In writing "space exploration has been on my mind" the possessive "my" carries the reflective tone. Language such as participle "inspiring" etc. continues that.

The state as a whole doesn't generally pick tone super perceptively (as reflected by the Examiner's Reports) so do NOT stress. Regardless, out of everybody's hands now!

[chuck981996]

I just think that people are overreacting. We have to remind ourselves of the requirements: did you analyse language? If so, great! 10 for you, Glen Coco.
