review coursework commentary

In my food review I tried to make it in the style of A.A.Gill a food critic with a very sarcastic view on life and restaurants also the fact he doesn't like anyone who isn't Scottish. he is quite harsh when it comes to rating restaurants but he gives a professional reason why he has given this rating and I tried to imitate by doing the same. this led to the different linguistic methods i used in my review coursework. I appealed to the audience of A.A.Gill so in some cases maybe snobby people or rich people or even people who understand his kind of sarcasm and enjoy looking up on restaurants.

the title was the biggest thing in the review to show where the review was being published even though it was not the most important thing there but it made the piece look professional. also the ratings were just underneath to show what the restaurant was given to show the reader of the article what was given so it makes them want to read it and find out how they got that rating. also i put in images of tarantinos and brentwood to show what im talking about in the article, also i showed milan as i talked about them in the first part and then the reader can see and agree with what im saying which could create a synthetic personalization between the reader and i.

i used a range of Lexis choices in this review as it links to A.A.Gills reviews which have a lot of detail and different ways of viewing something like a place or restaurant. so when describing the lands of Milan I added all the detail of the scenery and what it looked like, I also used phonology in my Lexis choices when describing the sounds of the marketeers and birds. I added as much detail to the area as i could by using a lot of simile's to refer to what it was like E.G. "smoke covered the cafe like smog from 19th century London."

i set out the the page as columns like in newspapers as this is supossed to be from the daily mail. this made it look a lot more professional and more realistic than if i just set it out as paragraphs. also this made it easier to follow which is why i chose to follow this discourse structure.
