Analysis of Charlie Brooker's blog

This is my analysis of  Charlie Brooker's blog regarding the TV talent show: The Voice
My chosen framework to analyse is :Lexis and Semantics

In Charlie Brooker's blog he uses lexis and semantics to emphasize his hatred for the TV show and the coaches. He also uses alot of humour in his blog to attract the reader.For example he uses colloquial lexis, such as slang words like 'shit'.This may appeal to a younger audience as they would find this humorous.

Charlie Brooker also uses adjectives to describe the coaches such as Will.i.am, as he states that he has 'pulled off the incredible trick of looking precisely like an action figure'.Here Charlie Brooker is showing sarcasm. He also uses a great variety of lexis such as slang words and more complex words such as 'philanthropic' and 'deity'.This variety in lexis is used for effect on the reader.

  1. Great analysis Lauren, you seem confident with your use of terminology and use the Point, Evidence, Explanation structure which gives your writing a clear focus. Keep it up, well done!
