Unit 1: Non-fiction writing to inform, explain and describe
Newspaper Comparison- 'The Independent' and 'The Sun'
The purpose to this comparative analysis is to show and study the difference in language and the way it is used to entertain or inform different readership. The Sun puts forward the information in a tabloid and The Independent in the form of a broadsheet. The Sun seems to be in the entertainment business whereas The Independent is in the information business. It depends on whether the reader wants to know the straight- forward facts or just gossip. The Sun gives us a human- interest account and The Independent gives us a factual one.
