LANGUAGE ANALYSIS: task 1
The biography structure is very organized. Due the chronological order of the dates because it’s a biography, the organization of the magazine goes in order. The introduction of the magazine introduced James Lavelle with who he is now and what people who know him would describe him as. After that, it states his occupation and what he is known for, ending with and interesting major event in his life. The magazine highlights specific words with importance for the readers to catch. Although most biographies start off with when they were born this one began at James 24th birthday party. Beginning with what creates his fame. The author adds exact quotes from people there as well as James. The author begins going into who James became many years later. After that the mood of the magazine shifts from positive to negative. Jumping from 1998 to 2003 doesn’t sound like that big of a stretch but most other biographies go in chronological order of the years depending on the importance of the years. I assume nothing major happened between then. as it shifts to negative when speaking about his star facing death and then James facing major debt. Although it looks as if James kept a good attitude about going broke and selling something he loved, the author mentions an exact quote stating that he basically “enjoyed it while it lasted”. then again shifting moods into a more neutral positive tone stating how there will be a new documentary and his journey was long and intense. I'd say this magazine was for an older audience due to the age of James and the language being used. The neutral tone continues as James stated that his life after that has still been finally difficult. Including a lot of exact quotes from the person of biography is crucial to a biography. In the ending paragraphs was where most of the quotations were. this biography stretches to around 20 years and revolved around his biggest impact in his life. The author used interview dialogue and emotions.
