  Firstly I understand that the child’s mother is abusive. This is shown when we are told how she “covered the bruises”. From this I can infer that she has recently abused her son, and is confident that she will not be caught due to her masking the bruises. She is duplicitous and sly. Furthermore it suggests that this is not the first time this has happened as she has a clear technique in place to deal with the aftermath of his abuse.
   
  Secondly I understand that the child is not only physically abusive but is neglected. This is shown when we are told of her: “sending him out the door to his Primary School”. This implies that he is a young child and should not be travelling to school alone, yet he is left to travel to school all alone, this highlights the neglect he endures and lack of care or concern shown by the mother.
   
  Thirdly I understand that the boy complies with his mother. We are told the bruises are “on the boy’s face”. From this I can infer that the mother is confident that despite abusing her son in a prominent position, she trusts that he will not remove the carefully placed stains. He is clearly a victim who is scared of his mother and will not try and get help.

 

Q2

Presentational features (not language analysis except in heading)

Picture and Heading EQUALLY

Picture – colours/ focus/ placing/ quantities

Feature - analysis + LINK to the article (Quote and summation)

Firstly (feature)

Analysis

This links to the article as it discusses  “ “

Hint – read article first

 

 

In the picture there are three cars in the background but clearly in focus – firstly they are minis (a British classic) highlighting Cameron;s pride in Britain and sharing a link/ trying to appeal to those who think that only leaving the EU retains British pride, furthermore the colours of the cars are red, blue and yellow – the political colours of the three main parties – this links to the article as he is appealing to “cross party” voters, this is not a British political issue but one in which he wants to reach and be supported by Tory, Labour and Lib Dem voters – it is uniting and linking them.

 

Q3 (Q1)

 Inference

Look at article through eyes of that character / Filter / What is this person like/ What is going on with them

Tour the article  - Start / Middle/ End

Firstly I understand the writer is…

This is shown when we are told:

From this I can infer/ this suggests…

 

As I strolled around the building I made sure I glared at each worker at their desk, even if this meant I had to come to a halt. Then, making sure that they had acknowledged me soaring through the building, I went back to my room and put my feet up (ensuring the door was closed and the blind down). As the day progressed I started to listen carefully for the sound of footsteps or the turn of the handle which was my sign to place my feet back on the floor and put on my glasses and scowl at the screen.

 

Firstly the writer feels untouchable. We see this when we are told that he “soared” around the building. This shows his ease in himself and that he is relaxed and comfortable. It hints at his arrogance as  he is in the work environment yet feels totally at ease.

 

Secondly the writer is aggressive and feels dominant over his colleagues. We see this when we are told that he “glared” at them. This highlights his aggressive looks to his colleagues and his utter disregard for their feelings.

 

Q4

LANGUAGE ANALYSIS

EFFECT

(name) Technique+ Analysis (pure) + Effect in further idea (within context)

The common idea (not the umbrella but the link between the two specific sources, with the umbrella term in it).

Both source 2 and 3 use language to further the common idea of :

- the ignorance by the wealthy of the plight of the poor

- the stark difference between the have and have nots

 

 

Both source 3 and 1 use language to further the common idea of:

• The poverty experienced by the illiterate
• The rise in population and therefore the poor
