Task 1: Enquiry - Language AnalysisArticle discussed: 10-Tips-1ybxzu1.pdf (wpmucdn.com)
The tone is created by the word choice the journalist used. The tones that are radiating from this article are helpful, honest, and admiring. Firstly, the way the author emits a helpful tone should be a result of the given type of article it is, 10 tips. I believe the words and wording used in the subtitles of each tip directs the audience into knowing valuable information regarding what is being told for musicians and those striving to be in that industry or just curious. For instance, “Think long, long-term” and “Know when to move on” both speak volumes if comprehended the intended way. These, especially, both seem personal to the reader which could be helpful. Additionally, the honest words used, such as “The number one thing I’ve learned…” and the repetitive usage of the word “I” shows personal, sincere honesty. Not to mention, the cuss words the journalist used show a sense of personality relating to candidness. Furthermore, the admirable tone can be represented through how he lets us into his life. An example of this is when it’s claimed that music saved their life. A quote reads, “At times when a shooting was going on, I missed it by 15 minutes because I’d decided to practise this Jimi Hendrix solo.” Amazingly, quite literally, the practice of music did indeed save this man’s life. If he were at the wrong place at the wrong time, doing something other than practicing music, he may not have been alive to write this article. Also, big producers, specifically DJ Khalid, wanted to work with his music. I find the journalists’ dedication to music very admirable due to his words. The journalist uses his words to create an impact by expressing his past moments that left an impact on himself. By bringing these details up to the audience, it can create a connection and have the audience feel moved or admire his work and how he got to where he is. Understanding a person’s background is very important. The communication of ideas is established through the way the words are conveyed. He gives a lot of context which helps to understand his current situations that are addressed. The simple, straightforward wording makes it easier to comprehend and makes us feel like we are on a personal level, making it unchallenging for him to communicate his ideas.
