“Morse, who owned his own landscaping business as well as working at the Home Deport store in Danvers, had been working on a new family home in Hamilton, and was only a month away from moving in, according to family members.”
Like this article I read many, who described situation of people that had a low paid job. That can only have the basic need, no luxuries at all in their lifes. They always refer to them with sorrow. While to the very poor people that they don’t have nothing, to the one on the streets, passing hunger and cold, they almost don’t refer to them as often as they refer or write about the working class. I didn’t found any article in which they wrote abot the people in the streets, although they were talking about unemployed people. The following paragraph is about an article that describe a march of homeless people thath are just marching and protesting because they need help. “But then Mayor Street intervened. As he has demonstrated in his dealings with the one-woman firefighter sit-in outside his office, the mayor doesn't believe in negotiating with people just because they're protesting. He wouldn't allow his emergency shelter office to give vouchers to Honkala's people while other homeless people - those who weren't trespassing - were waiting for shelter.”
We can clearly see how the sorrow tone continue as in the other article. And like this I found other 10 articles that site different type of situations of poor people, or statistics of how unemployment had decreas in the past years, the policies that had been done, and things like that are also discussed. But when the article is an article of opinion or they are informing the readers of something that happen they always write of them as if they were less and with sorrow.
In other article that was published in the Times magazine we can find a good evidence on how difference the journalist treat people of different social classes. “Tranda Wecker,28, has trouble making up her mind. She is a hotel receptionist from St Louis……at first she wanted to have the kids, but her low paid job could not afford another chils.”
We can see clearly how again the journalist try to make the reader feeel for what she is happening with descriptive words.
In general all the articles that I read this last week were like the ones I decribed above.
