for those who commented on the first image in LA, what did you talk about??

Mentioned the stenciled outlines superimposed against the silhouette of the year '2010' attract readers attention, and then just mentioned how the trees, birds and fish point to the talk's environmental significance. . . and the two people holding hands encapsulates the overall message of cooperation and unity. . . .

[InitialDRulz]

doesn't the criteria state how written language is used to persuade? therefore it is for readers?

But it was a speech that he delivered. So its the listeners or audience. Its not like a letter from the editor or an article.

FIRST ESL TO post WOOT! Hopefully it all went well for me!!! HEy spacieey wht did you talk about for A mAn for all seaons?

dont remember exactly but i basically defended more saying that through his death he managed to keep his soul, and that through his death, bolt reveals to us how corrupted society is at the time and therefore his death isnt pointless. something like that, anyways.

i think it's an area where you can show high attention to detail, but with a thorough analysis, it shouldn't impact negatively on your mark significantly (ultimately, for an awesome piece, examiners are going to be very lenient).

for those who commented on the first image in LA, what did you talk about??

I said, that there were silhouettes of various forms of life and their habitat incorporated into the figures of the year '2010' implying that at the present time, biodiversity on earth is only a shadow of what it should be.

lol...

wow that sounds pretty smart

i said that we had to find a balance and harmony between humans and nature or something like that

LOAD OF SHIT TBH!!

[cambiej]

no, it was a speech. you were analyzing how his language was being used to persuade the audience.

TASK

How is written and visual language used to attempt to persuade the audience to share the point of view of the speaker in his speech 'Taking Stock'?



Works both ways

for the image on the first page I wrote that it showed like sort of the "beautiful elements of nature" whatever that means with like animals and fishes and tree and two people holding hands together (one seemed older than the other) so like the older and the younger generation need to work together to help the enviornment

Thats pretty good.

I forgot to talk bout the image
well actually completely missed it.

but i talked bout the last one so i dont think it will matter.

talked bout
tone shifts
appeals
emotive terms
cliche in the photograph ( the world is in your hands)

how the hell do you guys write like that? And on average how many pages did everyone write for each section?

[Studyinghard]

You just need to think outside of the box. Il admit on any other day i would have probably looked at the image and thought this means shit all but something just clicked today =/

Wrote bout 900-1200 words on each one.

The text response i wrote 6 pages  then realized i COMPLETELY misread the topic
had to scribble out 3 pages. waste of 25 mins fml.

[Linkage1992]

for the opening i wrote some bull about it signifying the need for unity and that the future for generations to come depended on our action now bleh

wow that was smart!! i hope i dont lose marks for not using technical terms :S

i talked about the presence of the species and the word "2010" shows that they are linked together and that the presence of humans has an impact on all the other species. the child clinging onto and closely looking at the adult shows how dependent children are on adults and that the audiences job is to impart a message to our children so that they make appropriate decisions when they are old enough and so on..
