Headlines homework
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2424289/Miley-Cyrus-performances-slammed-Pink-Cher-Elton-John-pop-too.html#ixzz2fFWjyQsU 'I don't give a s**t if she comes out naked... just do better!' Cher blasts Miley Cyrus over recent performances... as Pink labels her 'tacky'
The use of the quote at the begining of the headline with the swearword "S**t" in it implied aggression and strong passion towards the subject matter, drawing the reading attention. The headline shows emphasis over the subject because appearing in public naked would be a rather bold and striking thing to do, proving that her rehabilitation is far more important compared to things seen as outrages in day to day life. By labeling her performance as tacky, this is seen as an insult to Miley Cyrus showing that she is on a downward spiral because of the drugs emphasising the importance of the rehabilitation.

The use of the outrageous quote at the beginning of the headline is used to shock the reader and attract them to read on to the rest of the headline followed by the article. By then naming the occupation of the person who said it, being a council adviser who is someone with importance, gives the quote more significance than if somebody less superior had said it. With the quote now having more impact it makes it even more outrageous and striking to the reader. Finally by putting "more" in capital letters this makes the headline stand out to the reader more visually and gives emphasis on the sentence as well as meaning meaning to get the message across clearer.

The descriptive words "fit, sporty" at the start of this headline with her age "16" give you an immediate vision of this person as healthy and young. It then straight after tells you that she dies. The use of the order of these words has been done to create a large contrast of what you would expect and therefore shock the reader. By telling you that the teenager was doing their homework it immediately relates your thoughts to a young person, as that is something younger people has to do, giving the horrid news even more of a tragic feel that it happened to somebody so young.
