Writing Practice
I think that identity theft is absolutely shit. There are 27 million people who have been victims of identity theft in the past five years. I’ve have never known anyone to be a victim of this and I have never been a victim of this annoying way of theft but knowing that you have some ‘rat’ roaming around shops and the internet or even airports acting as you! It annoys the life out of me thinking about it.
In this paragraph, I have used a first person narrative with a very low amount of mild taboo. This gives the reader a feeling that the writer is feeling confident but also shows how irritated the writer is with identity theft.
My friend Sophie was a victim of identity theft. She said , all that’s involved is buying something from an inappropriate website, carrying your passport in an unsafe place such as your trouser pockets and unsafe locations such as a ‘troubled’ side of your town.
Above, I have used third person in my paragraph as identity theft can happen to anyone so using ‘you’ could make them feel like they’re already a victim. I also made it more formal as identity theft is more aimed at an older target.
Your one fucking cunt if your a victim of identity theft! My mums about 90 years old and she hasn’t even been a friggin victim yet. Well, she don’t even have enough swag for anyone to steal... She’s just a lonely bitch. She keeps her purse you see, she’s be strutting her shit like a nobhead but keeping everything safe!
Above is a second person narrative. I used this along with very strong taboo as it will be aimed at people more likely to be a target of identity theft (18 years+). The second person and taboo express direct aggression towards the audience about their views on ID theft.
