Commentary on a Newspaper Article by Russel Brand

The English monastic order the right way remote is touch by big social differences, which results in a real penetrative and clearly defined divided class society, w present social mobility is non real easy ore even almost non existing. The set out range oasist got a place to fit in, and many an(prenominal) untriedsters from these social lower classes, young people with no education, young people with bad family backgrounds, practically feel out of the community, they ar not getting any cognizance and the politicians induct ignored them and the fact of it way too longIn an oblige published on The Guardians website in rarified 2011, the author Russell soft touch pin down near of these conflicts and hassles. The author is more than explicitly commenting on the riots that happened destruction year in England. The articles receiver could be intellectual people, people who have an interest in politics and in society, certainly the working-class, likewise students as elders, the article is principally directed to leftist, as the guardian is a traditional left- winged publisher and the paper stand in opposition to the ruling government.Inasmuch the article is a website article, the audience properly is a bit ampleer than its ordinary audience is, also assuming readers from the right- wing would have an interest in reading the article, they whitethorn even get into a debate on the internet side, scrap and arguing for their point of ingest. The article very much invites the readers to an open debate. In this next part, I am going to comment and analyze Russel shits commentary, and I am going to comment on his constitution style and his position to the subject. The article compose by nocks, is as I have mentioned, a comment on the Riots of 2011 that took place closing year in England.Brand points out that the riots ranges more about the societys condition than any other thing and that the government should do something about the pro blem, instead of calling the actions egoistic material gains. He does not think that these young people are mindless as everybody, inclusive the politicians, are calling them. Brand considers the problem much deeper and declares that the government is marginalizing the young people, and says that we ought to ask why the government sweeps the problem away under the carpet.He declares that these young people dont have a equal community be causality the politicians havent been presumption them one and he claims the problem is a consequence of the conservative politics which the government has been carried out the last decades These young people have no sense of community because they havent been given one. They have no stake in society because Camerons mentor Margaret Thatcher told us theres no such thing. All of these very strong points and opinions are of cause wrapped up in a very sanitary written commentary.Brand starts the whole article telling his reader why he should not com ment on this case at all, and by doing this, he has pre-empted and prevented that this kind of criticism would come his way. His reasons why he shouldnt salve about the topic in the first place, are very ridiculous which makes it very comically, and at the same time it gives him some kind of credibleness cause the reader feels comfortable when a writer dares to look full of life at them self and especially when they are also, like Brand, knows how to express a good spate of self-irony .Brands writing style is very fluent, he distinctly uses humor as a very well working poetic- device, such as sarcasm and irony. It makes the text much spark and much more consumable, even though the topic is a defective one. He has a special talent of setting up scenes in his readers mind, which also makes the text very alive. The texts composition has kind of the same setup as a standup frivolity show, and Brand sets up several scenarios and merges them well together, connecting the dots all the way done the article with just the right flow.He tells about some personal happenings, which he makes a point with, again with a good portion of self-irony, for example, when he tells his audience about his own rebellion time, and then connects it to todays youngsters and compares the two episodes to make his point. He uses a great deliberate of sarcasm, an example for his sarcasm is, the part he writes about, that some may say the real victim is the conservative politician, that had to shorten her holidays and then came out precept the behavior were unjustifiable and unacceptable his comment to this is WowThanks guys What a wonderful use of the planets fast-depleting oxygen resources. Now thats been dealt with back end we move on to more taxing matters such as whether or not doodly-squat The Ripper was a ladies man? He also uses some metaphors, such as the reality show Big Brother. The Big Brother episode depict in the article is a criticism of the TV station because th ey censured an reproachful episode, the purpose by apply the episode is to set up a mirror reflecting the riots.Brand is actually implying that the government aka Big Brother, does not have the nerves to face reality, which must make the reality show a fake, aka the government is a fake they wont face reality. Brand claims they are ignoring societys real big problems by move them under a carpet that is why Big Brother isnt watching you as the title of the article claims. This way of using a known episode as a metaphor, is very effect full, and many people tolerate relate to it and have a opinion and attitude about it.In the last part of the comment, Brand changes from using I to using we. From now on, the article directly speaks to the reader. Brand claims he does not know anything about politics and tells why he clearly cant have a solution or answer to this neck again his rhetorical trick is a good portion of self-irony and he closes the paragraph by quoting Gandhi Be the change you want to see in the world. For some readers this may seem too much, and for others it would be very powerful.I think the quote has a well-functioned purpose in the text these complete ledgers shows the reader Brands solution to the main problem even though he claims he doesnt know anything. From here on Brand gets more serious and more poetic in his language use, his syntax, and sentence structures. He clearly wants to make a disceptation by moving his reader. He is appealing with pathos, and emotional scripts and you can see he uses a very well-known rhetorical technique, called an anaphora often used in speeches, which is a repetition of a word or a phrase. We must include them, where they feel diddleed, we must represent them and where they feel pick out and compassion for their communities then we, the members of that community, must find love and compassion for them It often gives a very good payoff to take up word ore sentences, because it supplies the tex t a consonants, and the reader is seduced by this way of using the language and I must say, Brand uses the technique so its outcome gets very effective. The last passage sums the whole commenting on the subject up, into some few poetic phrases.Brand clearly comes out with his point of view and attitude he want his reader not to close their eye for what is happening he requests them not to sweep away these problems even if they are not out in the open. I must say Brand is a very talented writer with brilliant skills that touches a broad audience. Besides an observable writing talent, his writing contains a strength sexual climax a serious problem using humor. Brands word combinations makes his text easy to read and he has an adventurous natural flow, which makes it very exciting. However, most important in this commentary, is the attitude to the problem.Brands article contains a strong cultural and social criticism and he expresses his invite for individuals to face the injustic e unequal society. He encourages his reader to not solo leaving it all up by voting on the right party, and not only by leaving it all up to our politicians who obviously arent doing anything about these problems he encourage his reader to sweep away the carpet and face the problem right out there in the blue by giving the young people what they really motif Very well said Mr. Russell Brand I couldnt jeer more
