Sample Body Paragraph with annotations- Nguyen Article
Nguyen suggests that the new asylum seeker laws are exploiting vulnerable asylum seeker fleeing the violence of their homeland.Nguyen opens with the use of inclusive language contained within her title. By proposing that the ‘policy shames us all’ Nguyen makes the suggestion that the revised asylum seeker policy is not only offensive to those ‘who have endure similar hardships’ attempting to seek asylum in Australia, but is offensive to all Australians who value human freedoms. In doing so Nguyen appeals to the humanity of her readership causing them to reflect on their own ideals. Nguyen uses the words ‘terrifying conditions’ to describe the violence the asylum seekers are fleeing from. This causes the asylum seekers seem vulnerable and positions readers to think that asylum seekers need to be protected by Australia. Nguyen also employs her own personal experience by stating she is ‘the daughter’ of ‘hard working’ asylum seekers. In doing so she is able to establish her credibility and experience with issue and encourage readers to see her as a spokes person for all asylum seekers.
