Strong inclusions A, B, C and D are all adverts to some extent. A and B appear in magazines which would be browsed through and could catch the eye of a variety of audiences with A using a large image to entice the reader along with both adjectives and metaphors. A uses “Your skin is alive” this adds to the large image of naked human bodies which emphasises the fact that ‘your skin is alive’. The participant A also uses a rhetorical question “What are you doing to keep it healthy?” this could make the reader think about what they are doing to keep their skin healthy this could suggest that you need to feed and take care of your skin, you need to treat the outside of your body like the inside. This could suit an audience that could have skin conditions “sensitive skin” this broadens the audience further. Text C is the back of a shampoo bottle whilst the purpose isn’t strictly to persuade as the consumer may have already purchased the product, it seems the primary function is to inform the audience as it includes philosophy, tips and why you should use their shampoo. C uses lots of verbs which is how the audience could be persuaded “driven”,”dedicated”,”create” these verbs might make the audience believe that they are focused on giving the best care to the consumer. Text D is more of a weak inclusion as it informs the audience on how the water is made, “tasty hydration” the adjective “tasty” could suggest that the water would be more enjoyable as it is flavoursome. The word “tasty” is mentioned many times throughout the water label this could be to persuade the audience to drink or buy the water. Text B has a primary purpose which is to persuade as it is an advert for holidays as it is from a newspaper and could be viewed as anyone could be reading the newspaper. Text B uses the adjective “enticing” this makes the audience want to read more to see why the adjective is used. The word “tempting” is used many times throughout the text this makes the audience curious as to see how they could be tempted.
