Comparison of two texts The two texts I will compare are the Times article and the Guardians blog post, both based on the theme of healthy school meals. These two texts have to some extent a similar target audience, for example both are generally aimed at parents concerned about the education and health of their children, both of whom are affected by school meals. Furthermore, the audience is expected to be educated people who can understand complicated texts such as the Times newspaper. In that article, the author's point of view is rather subtle as the text mainly cites other people's research, but it is still blatantly biased because it only consists of citations of research that supports the author's judgment on Jamie Oliver's campaign . The Guardian's blog was also biased, but unlike the Times, the perspective was very explicit because the writer's personal view on the effects of school meals on his son and other pupils at his school was widely shown. The style of language the Times reflects would only appeal to a narrower range of audiences than the Guardian's blog post which generally attracts more readers. The Times article is primarily a brief summary of much research done by experts but with little to no apparent interpretation added by the writer. It consists of many facts and statistics about “healthy” meals. Yet this is another way for the writer to subtly implant ideas into our brains whose fault was the failure of the healthy school project in the first place, letting the facts “speak” for themselves. In contrast, the style of language used by the Guardian is quite informal because it was almost written... in the middle of a sheet of paper... s” with the writer. This allows the writer in the next four paragraphs to elaborate more and provide more evidence (based on Freddie's statement) to support the short answer they gave at the beginning of the subtitle. Furthermore, by writing four paragraphs it is easy to identify where you are at each stage and not get "lost" within the text. Both texts successfully achieved their main purposes, but I think the text that was most successful in doing so was The Guardian's Blog. This is because the blog is specifically designed to appeal to all audiences so that both serious and casual readers can benefit from this article. However, I believe that the Times lacks effective communication and has not shown the same concern to the reader as the Guardian, so the public may be confused or annoyed by the mountains of facts and statistics..
