I am the worst

Need to print this shit off in school. 1. a) (i) From Item 1, we learn that Jamie Oliver started cooking at the age of eight, and studied at London’s Westminster Catering College. Moreover, we learn that he worked with “some of the top chefs in the country” at the “Neal Street Restraunt.” He runs a restraunt at “Monte’s in Knightsbridge, London.” Also, he writes for the Saturday Times and is a Food Editor, aged twenty six and lives in London. Also, he is married and grew up in a country pub with his parents. (ii) One example of language that makes the book seem interesting would be the fact that many imperative verbs are used, “try his Steak and Guinness pie or indulge in his to-die-for pancakes.” This technique has been used as a way to show off some of the different recipes, while also being persuasive through being a command. One other example would be the fact that positive language is used throughout, “happy days” “superbly fresh” “good fun.” This language holds many positive connotations. Moreover, in terms of presentational devices, there are two massive, colourful pictures of Jamie Oliver, which hold yet more positive connotations and introduce you to Jamie very well. Finally, all the information on Jamie Oliver and the parts about his book are separated, making both parts of information more readable and accessible. b) (i) I think that in this item, the writers aim was to promote healthy eating and fitness this can be seen through things such as “three rules for fitness have been given” and orders to eat “Salads and Vegetables every day.” However, it can be seen that the intent for healthy eating doesn’t just apply to the ration rules, as at the end it says “if, when rationing disappears, we remember the foods… we shall continue to have a good diet.” Also, it seems it is trying to encourage people to make the best of the little they have with their rations, “eat all your rations and priority foods,” “breads, potatoes, oatmeal.” Finally, it aims to inform people of vitamins and what foods certain groups of people need, “the day’s menu should be ‘balanced’” “heavy workers and adolescents need more than other people.” (ii) In this extract the first sentence makes a reference to war “in five years of war.” This is just one thing here that implies the difficulty of life. Another is the fact that people had to live off of rations “war-time rations.” Moreover, every reference to cooking or general house work is directed at women, “does not daunt her” “the woman with the shopping basket,” implying that 50 years ago, the only ones who did any housework where the woman. Also, the fact that a book has been written on how to make the most out of the tiny amount of food being given out shows that people where often not getting enough and definitely not enough healthy food. |
