This written task relates to Part 2 of the language and literature course: language and mass communication. In this course, I was particularly interested in how the use of language can portray a certain political event differently via mass media. Consequently, I mimicked the voice of Mona Chalabi, an anti-Trump editor in The Guardian, to negatively portray Trump and persuade the audience to turn their back on Trump.
With the interest in the effect of language on an event, I decided to use the voice of Mona Chalabi to analyze the reasons behind Trump firing James Comey, the former FBI director. Trump’s such impromptu decision caused a worldwide sensation, once again marking Trump’s ignorance and incompetence.
I chose opinion column as my text type because I am able to express my opinions about Trump’s decision and include subjective viewpoints. The primary audience for my piece was any British who has interest in reading online articles about American political issues covered in left wing perspectives. The purpose of my assignment was to inform the audience of Trump’s incompetence and cause them to feel demeaning towards Trump. In order to achieve this, I employed an informal voice when conveying my ideas to build a conversational and colloquial tone, just like Mona Chalabi does, so that I can form a close bond with the audience. I also included humor and sarcasm to entertain the reader and efficiently persuade the reader that Trump’s decision was irrational. Furthermore, I also used Mona Chalabi’s most prominent technique: analyzing an event sequentially. I organized the entire passage by dividing it into several steps before getting to my final argument of why Trump fired James Comey. I believe this structure of the writing not only contributed to my solid argument but also more effectively convinced the reader.
