Broken homes article analysis

Broken homes 'damage brains of infant children' is an article written by Whitehall editor Marie Wolf explaining that it is solely down to the upbringing of the child and the reasonable stimuli surrounding the child which affects their mentality. This article, although seeming to be just a controversial hypothesis, actually ties in quotes and elements of evidence for her claim towards how a 'broken home' can affect an individual at an infant age throughout their later life.



Graphology: Laid out in three formal columns underneath a heading in bold font which highlights and emphasises the study. The simplicity of the text and the lack of pictures enforces its formality as Marie directs you straight to her views and knowledge on the subject.



Purpose: This article is written as an informative essay regarding parenting and living conditions for children. This gets the point across that parents of young children must change their ways for the good of their children to allow them to aspire to greater things when they are able to.



Mode: 'Broken homes' is displayed in a written format, then typed up into an article after it was edited.



Tone: An informative tone, set in an approachable tone as it explores other peoples studies and gives a personal opinion.


Audience: Adults and more importantly, parents. This contextually could be interpreted as a study to improve attitudes towards parenthood.


Personal view: I don't agree totally to the fact that bad parenting affects a child's mentality completely, I agree that it could set them back however a lot of people agree that it pushes children to work harder in life. Most success stories explain how they came from nothing to something like rap artist Eminem and clothing designer Ralph Lauren.
