Although the article is taken from “The Independent” and is about a scientific theme, it is very subjective. Anne Treneman uses only little technical terms, appeals to the reader and also shows her own opinion in a lot of comments. The article seems like a direct talk to the reader, there is no distance, so the speech is very vivid. Because of that it is a consequence that the text is written in colloquial language.
But not only by that the author attract and keep the reader’s attention. The article is easy to read, because of its well structure. The sentences in general are rather short and when she comments things the text structure is still simple, but longer. Also when Anne Treneman gives back the scientist’s answers, she does this by direct speech, what makes the text even more vivid.
But the article also keeps the reader’s attention, because the author humanizes the theme by mentioning the scientist’s private motives. The reader could easily follow her thoughts, so that he or she would ask the same questions ask Anne Treneman asks. By comments in which she questions the scientist’s statements critically, for example when he simplifies and distorts the facts, the reader starts to trust Anne Treneman and her opinion. The reader doesn’t feel manipulated. He or she feels directly spoken spoken to by a friend.
Because of that, there aren’t used many stylistic devices, without some catchwords like “Designer Child” (l.79) or the term “Cloning is going to be better than sex” (l.42).
