The peace we studied has a clear audience it is aimed at, a clear purpose and the form of the peace is also easy to tell. Starting with the audience, when you read the peace it is clear to see it is aimed at the general citizens of the place Bishops Waltham. This is because it is a local aimed peace. Following that, the purpose of the poem is to get people to write a letter to the city council explaining their objection. Finally the last point obviously is about the form and although the the form of this peace should be a letter which it sort of is, it is more like a leaflet layout. This is due to its columns and the text bubbles and pictures etc, which normally you wouldn't find in a letter.
Firstly, the graphology on this peace is seen quite clear as there seems to be lots of different fonts, logos, pictures and slogans. The logos are there to show the audience what the peace is ran by perhaps the company who set this up or who it is about. By the slogan in the middle which is also used as my title, there is a picture of a clock showing the time 11.58. I think this goes hand in hand with the slogan as it is talking about time running out and the picture shows there is only two minutes left until 12, which suggest time is running out. Talking about the logo’s used again, the logo’s are used on this peace because it stamps its authority on the peace and let's people know who is in charge. There are two text boxes which suggest that the things that are contained in the text box would be more important over anything else, so perhaps should be looked at first. Other parts are in bold and in bigger font than the rest of the writing which shows these are headings and are more important parts of the peace.
After that, the discourse structure is nice and simple in this leaflet/letter, this is because as I've already spoke about how it is laid out like a leaflet when in actual fact it is a letter. The layout procedure starts with a big bold box with big bold writing showing what the following is going to be about and what it represents. This is followed by the clear indicator that it is a letter, but then goes into two columns full of paragraphs in a more leaflet like structure. Each new point is instructed with a bolder peace of writing above it to show what the next peace of writing is going to be about. There are different information, where so,e is more important that others meaning that they are in text boxes, even though text boxes could change the course of the structure, they seem to be with in course of the structure and jus sit in nicely with how the peace is running along a laid out. There are pictures/logos at the bottom and top of the peace which fit into the structure nicely. This type of structure is a narrative account as it is laid out like a report just going on about what the subject is in two columns.
Finally, the grammar of this peace is easy to spot as their isn't excessive amounts of writing, so I will start with how the use of 2nd person pronouns are used to make people feel uneasy and guilty as if they should or have to write a letter. The fact these 2nd person pronouns are used create a relationship with the reader as it makes them think about what they should do. Also, the use of imperative verbs create quite an effect too, the effect created by these imperative verbs is the sense of enthusiasm. They enthuses the urgency that is to write a letter by using the imperative verb ‘write’ this is a command so is telling the reader what to do instead of maybe suggesting what sound be done.
