AOW #13- "It's their world..."

"It's their world...(We're just keeping up with it)"
by David Keeps for Lucky Magazine (November 2011)

This is a credible source because it is a popular, well-established magazine.

This article was about the Kardashian family, their fame, and their television show. It talks about the author's meeting with the 3 sisters and what they were like. It also discusses their personal opinions on their fame and television show.

The context of this piece is the current immense fame and popularity of the Kardashians and their extensive impact on today's media. Also, their show is currently a huge hit that many people watch.

The purpose for this piece is to tell the readers about the Kardashian family and how they became the phenomenons they are today. Also, it informs fans about their favorite Hollywood family, and what their past, present, and future look like.

The audience for whom this piece was intended is fans of the Kardashians or anyone interested in their life.

Rhetorical devices in this piece include:

• testimony: This article is based on an interview with the Kardashian sisters were they each shared their personal thoughts, and then was formed into an article.
• syntax: The author uses syntax to express how the Karshasians actually talked/acted. For example, "Oh. Meh. Goh." 

I don't think the author accomplished their purpose effectively. The piece was pretty boring and not very informational. The author could have delved deeper into the lives of the Kardashians or focused on more interesting topics in their lives, rather then being so general and boring.
