Language used within the Guardian article.

The language of an article can have a large impact on how opinion is portrayed, how the audience interprets that opinion and how the reader feels when reading it. It can add influence to a situation and can lead the reader to adopt the journalists feelings if such a strong positive or negative vibe is sent out. Analysing two very different articles can give me an idea of how I wish to style my article and can help me to pick up tips on writing an article to a specific style.
