LO1 - Notes on written and online reviews

Second person address 

Second person address is when you use phrases such as 'you can' and 'you will'

In the forza 5 review this language technique is used effectively to create the effect of the writer directly talking to his target audience. This is a good technique as it makes the reader feel more involved into the article there reading.


In the review i found the quote "utterly enchanting handling" to be very effective as it has connotations of happiness and beyond limits. He is reffering to the core game mechanics which is a great way of using a hyperbole to describe a key feature of the game and by using the language feature, keeps the reader involved in the article.

After reading the entire article i have decided that it would influence me to buy the game as it outlines some of the many things that are good about the game.
