PLAN
1 - Negative portrayal of explorers
2 - Danger of event
3 - Cost to taxpayer
“Explorers, or boys messing about?“
childish connotations of boys = lack of respect
sets bias of piece from beginning
“plucked“
stresses helplessness + portrayal of being immature
“bottoms kicked“
concludes with childish manner + lack of respect
humorous = entertaining for reader
“farce“ + “drama”
danger being marginalised = continued bias
light hearted mocking tone = event not serious
“experienced adventurers“
experience ¾ way through = bias in reader created
despite expertise, ambition = incompetent not adventurous
“taxpayer“
cost to taxpayer from beginning
left-wing article from guardian, readers = like-minded
“Royal Navy, the RAF and British coastguards.“
tricolon = extent of help + helplessness
cost of rescue in services time + taxpayers money
“tens of thousands of pounds.“
numbers highlight impact of event on reader, so they conform to bias of article + share view
