Written task introduction

Question 1: 
How could the text be read and interpreted differently by two different readers? 
When reading the article "for women under 30, most Births Occur Outside of Marriage", I was able to easily spot two different interpretations to the article, which these interpretations depend on the readers ideologies when reading the article. If the article was locked from a feminist ideology and the reader interpreted the text accordingly the purpose of the text would be to demonstrate how woman are working continuous hours to provide a suitable life for their child, thus are capable of taking care of children at such a young age without having the power of men over them. However, the other Way this article can be interpreted is through the views of people again young single woman, these people see that young woman are ruining their life and future to take care of a child solely. Also, they see this as a big issue since it’s hard to take care of on planned children without being in a committed relationship. Therefore, through the different interpretations of this article it is evident that no matter what perspective this article is read in different reactions are triggered based on how the ideological backgrounds of the readers show different values and beliefs in this concern within society.

Question 2:
If the test had been written in a different time or place or language or for a different audience, how and why might it differ?

News media has been around for more than 40 years, there are four articles within news media written in different times places languages or four different audiences demonstrate the cultural, social and religious ideologies. In the specific article, it would be against the traditional values and cultural values of woman are young age to have children outside of marriage back in the early 1900 whereas nowadays it is common to see woman giving birth and taking care of children on their own without being in a formal marriage. Therefore, articles with the news media try to determine how the public thinks within the society, which is reflected through the journalists diction, which is connected to bias by diction and tone.

    WWW: The thesis statements are good as they establish an argument for the texts and the prompts. The second question intro is good as it revolves around the text and the information on it.
    EBI: The first intro is a little confusing, so focusing it down would be good and proof reading it would make it better.

    You introduce your article well, but I feel that you could format your introductory arguments better so that it fits the format of an introduction better. I also feel that you could benefit from an extremely clear thesis statement.

Timed write on ‘I Have a Dream’ by Martin Luther King In martin Luther King’s speech “I Have a Dream” the intended audience is essentially the general public. The speech also focuses down into influencing the African Americans to fight for their right and to change the views of poverty of powerful leaders. Therefore, the purpose of this speech is to provide a better future for the generation of tomorrow and to enable freedom in the grounds of America. This is conveyed on the last page of the speech where MLK say’s ‘let freedom ring—from every hill and molehill of Mississippi, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!’ This sentence is also an anaphora as ‘let freedom ring’ is emphasised twice in that sentence. Additionally, this speech is trying to make all coloured skin people become one and equal, so that African Americans can still have hope in their living.  Furthermore, his words used prove the understanding of the social and political disruption.  Moving onwards, the style

Complication on Learning A Second Language and how it Shaped my Identity Looking back over all the years that have passed, I can say that I have been challenged throughout my life. I can say that my identity has shifted completely as I had to learn a second language, which is Arabic once I had to move to the U.A.E. I lived in Australia for the first 4 years of my life, where I would speak English with somewhat of an Australian accent. But then one night my whole life was changed as I was tolled that me and my family where moving to the middle east far way from the greenery, the kangaroos, the “G-Day mate” greetings and most importantly far away from the rest of my family. As the time was getting closer and closer to the big change in my life, I just overlooked that everyone in the middle east speaks the Arabic language and that I had to learn it someday to be able to live a happy and successful life in the middle east. I started to image how this second language I have to
