Answer the following question in full and remember to include the plagiarism
declaration when you submit your assignment.
In a carefully worded essay of about 1000 – 1200 words (approximately 2 to 3 typed
pages), critically analyse the below blog article as a persuasive text. Begin your
essay by BRIEFLY establishing what the text is about, who the target audience is
and what the persuasive purpose is.
However, ensure that the majority of your essay body is an extensive analysis of the
persuasive strategies (such as structure, tone and linguistic devices) used in the
text. This means you do not only need to identify the persuasive strategies
(including the linguistic devices used for this purpose), but you also need to explain
how they have been used.
Consult the assignment guidance provided below for instructions on how to
approach each of these aspects.
Focus your analysis solely on the given excerpt (i.e., do not look up and refer to the
rest of the speech). Ignore the ellipses [...] and do not comment on them.
