If I had the choice to interview anyone in the world it would be the famous Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

I would ask him questions like: How does it feel to debately be considered the best footballer in the world? Who Inspired you as a child to play football? Who was your idol footballer as a child? Will you come back to Manchester United at the end of your career? Where do you see your self after football? What team was your first trial at?

Bias: presenting only one side of an arguement

Format: radio broadcast

Firstly they present what is going to be told on the radio today. It starts on the subject of the rise in self harm reports in schools and hospitals, they show us an interview of a 13 year old girl who tells us she self harmed and how it progessed to become more deeper and painful cuts. The show then shows the opinion of a doctor, who is specialised in self harm’s, opinion. He states it is a physiological drive when being in certain mental state. This subject lasts a minute and 8 seconds.

The next story is about a terrorist attack on the famous French comic headquarters, Charlie Ebdo. The office was attached by 3 Muslim men, from their knowledge the terrorists attacked the office because the office controversily published a picture of the Phrophet Mohammed which therefore offended the attackers which drove them to murder not only the editor but everyone in the officer, killing 13 people and injuring 3. I don’t think murder is the correct justification for this matter or most matters even though it is in the qu’aran to never show Mohamned in any form ie: pictures, drawings or actors. They could have protested against the magazine to provoke then to stop showing Phrophet Mohammed. In my personal opinion there was no justification for murder regardless of what the magazine writers did. This subject was 2:40 long.

Newsbeat is aimed at an age range of 13-18; I know this because the broadcast starts with a story on self harming in schools which a person of that age range is likely to be interested in as they are going through school. Another factor is throughout the entire broadcast fast paced music is playing and fast paced music is a popular genre in that age group.

Prospero is one of the most dominant characters in the play. We immediately know this through Miranda in act one scene two where we first meet Prospero. “You have put the wild waters in this roar, allay them”. Miranda tells us he has caused the storm. This tells us he is a powerful character because only someone with godly power can cause a storm. Another factor that shows us Prosper is very powerful is that he is always in control of the play, as if he moulds it. An example of this is when Ferdinand and Miranda first meet and slowly fall in love. In act one scene two Prospero states “It goes on, I see, as my soul prompts it”. This tells us that his plan is working “as my soul prompts it”

We also find out he causes the storm in his thought of vengeance, we know this because Antonio, Prospero’s brother, usurped him. We learn this when he is speaking to Miranda in act one scene two. “My brother and thy uncle, called Antonio-I pray thee mark me, that a brother should be so perfidious – he whom next thyself of all the world i loved,and to him put to manage of my state”. Prospero here tells us that his treacherous brother Antonio usurped him, but if Prospero wanted revenge why didn’t he just kill them? He wants them to be mentally affected not physically. We learn this when he is speaking to Ariel. “But are they, Ariel, safe?” Ariel replies. “Not a hair perished”. Meaning not a single wound. This also tells us Prospero may not have the courage to kill his brother or he  may just want his suffering too last.

A very interesting Relationship in the play was between Prospero and Miranda. We definitely know Prospero loves his daughter because he describes her to have a divine smile which gave him strength to survive on the island. ‘Thou didst smile,infused with a fortitude from heaven- which raised in me an undergoing stomach’ Prospero says her smile was powerful enough to drive him to  survive, but we also know he keeps secrets from her because as shown in act 1 scene 2 he put her to sleep as soon as she starts asking questions using a spell. ‘How came we ashore?’ ‘Would I might but ever see that man?’ Then Prospero put her to sleep. ‘Here cease more questions. Thou art inclined to sleep.’ This also shows us not only does he keep secrets form her but he abuses his powers and you will see many more examples of Prospero doing this forward in the play.

‘Tell your piteous Heart there’s no harm done’. When Prospero says this in my eyes he is giving us a head start on Mirandas personality because he could just be referring her ‘piteous heart’ to her feelings towards the people shipwrecked but I think Shakespeare is implying more than that. He is telling us Miranda is a fragile caring character and is easy minipulated, nieave.

Prospero character changed from a relentless being into a regretting wizard. When we are first introduced to Prospero in the first few chapters he is foreseen as an evil wizard as he commits gruesome acts such as causing the storm and he shows no remorse whatsoever. We know he shows no remorse because he says “tell your piteous heart theres no harm done” after Miranda questions if it was her father, Prospero, who caused the storm. This tells us he starts off as an evil character; but Prospero does change as you  wil see in my next paragraph.

“As you from crimes would pardoned be, let your indulgence set me free”(act 5 scene 1) Prospero has changed. This shows us he has changed as he understands what he has done was wrong (“as you from crimes would pardoned be”) and is asking for forgiveness (“let your indulgence set me free”). Another factor showing us Prospero has changed is he stops being constantly evil and vicious. “Set Caliban and his companions free: untie the spell”. If Prospero was in the state we explored in the last paragraph he would not have released Caliban and his companions but as he has changed and is no more the evil wizard he was he has a change in mind causing him to pursue in releasing Caliban and his companions.
