Famine has always been a big global problem that has affected many lives all over the world. As a consequence of the corona virus, the problem is now worse than ever. Before the start of the pandemic
the developed countries did not give much thought to the consequences of famine, as it had not previously been as big of a problem than it is now due to the results of the deadly virus.
Famine has especially set it marks in the UK, more specifically in south London, which is something that the article
“Unicef to feed hungry children in UK for first time in 70-year history” by Rhi Storer talks about. This essay will analyze the article with focus on language and intention.

Uddrag
These are the two dominant forms of appeal. The last form of appeal is ethos, which is also in the article.
That can be seen in Richard’s statements “The fact that Unicef is having to step in to feed our country’s hungry children is a disgrace and Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak should be ashamed”.
The quotes are backed up by trustworthy people such as Angela Rayner, Anna Kettley and UNICEF. At last, the article also has many quotes, which helps with ethos.
Storer uses good argumentation. She follows Toulmin’s argumentation model. For example, she has a claim:
“Our breakfast boxes programme has also shown us that the threshold for free school meal eligibility is too low to capture all the families in need of support”.
She is claiming that the free school meal is too low in comparison to the families in need of support.
