The style of this article is like any other article or any other form of non-fiction. It’s built like the typical article with a title, an introduction, the main body and the conclusion.
The article is written using formal English but with a personal tone and sometimes the language is a little hard to comprehend but the topic and message are easy to understand.
The style is quite formal and Jeffries makes use of first-person narrative witch gives the style a personal note as he writes: “can I buy the 5 best education for my daughter, possibly by moving house, lying about my real address or selling a kidney for private schooling?”.
Jeffries also writes in a way that gives the effect that he is talking directly to the readers and has a conversation with the readers which makes the article more personal and conveys his message easier.
In the article Stuart Jeffries uses a lot of rhetorical devices. He uses for example a lot of logos, comparison, the If-then structure etc. Jeffries article gets trustworthy as he uses a lot of logos.
