Justice officials express new concerns about Alabama immigration law
By Terry Frieden
Diction - When portraying both sides of the issue Perez is quoted on saying that victims of domestic abuse are being driven further “underground” this is a very powerful word choice because underground send the message of it being hidden and hard to find, and that the law is impeding efforts to free those who are victim to it. West uses the word “vindicate” when describing the justice departments goal to challenge many state passed immigration law. This word is often associated with a sense of righteousness making it seem like the Justice department is in the right in challenging these laws.
Details - The article is very focused on explaining the consequences of the law and what the legal aftermath will be. The negative sides of the law are presented as being: a large increase in the absences in the public schools from kids who are most likely worried about their immigration status, an increase in the hiding of domestic abuse, and an increase in racial profiling in which people are being questioned just on their appearance. The proponents of the bill are shown as supporting it based simply on the principal of illegal means illegal.
Imagery- The supposed vindication by the justice department creates an image of a noble force riding out to combat the evils of the state legislature. This is very powerful especially in the constant debate over whether the states of the federal government should be in control of the most power. Also the description of employers using the law as a method to not pay workers creates the image of a greedy fat cat executive exploiting the masses for personal gain.
yes I agreee. "underground" also creates this image of not only inferiority, but also satanic undertones created by Dante's portrayal of Hell.
ReplyDeleteOverall great analysis of techniques. You could also explicitly state the meaning question ex. this article is against the immigrant bill
I agree, the word "vindicate" is a fancy word that can make the Justice department look nice.
