'MY HEART BREAKS EVERY TIME'  

Viral picture of pensioner, 80, selling fire wood to pay off his dead wife’s medical bills sparks GoFundMe campaign.

This weekly news was very heart warming to me, it was about an old man Kenneth who lost his wife to cancer recently and has been left with a big bill to pay for his wife's medical bills. One day a lady drove past him and saw this, took a picture of him and it went viral, due to this his sons 'GoFundMe' campaign raised over $60,000 which was more than enough to pay off the bills.

She added: “My heart breaks every time I pass him. He waves at every single car that passes.”

The reason I choose this news article because it shows that there is hope for humanity and there is still good people out there despite all the horrible stories you hear. It shows the big difference that can be made within society when everyone works together and the power of the media, how one Facebook post can make such a good impact one old mans life.
However we live in a world where loads of people are selfish and is only looking out for themselves which makes stories like this one all the more special.

In comparison to this story of An unconscious and bleeding woman was left in a road as several drivers swerved to miss her in south-east London, at least 12 drivers drove around her as she suffered from serious head injuries and her head in the gutter. Although the stories are different it would be expected for people to stop and help a woman who is critically injured.

I think that it is very heartless for people to just leave the woman at the side of the road as if she was worthless to die, both stories are from different places in the world which shows the different morals they have.

 I can't believe people would just drive past. I'm shocked and confused as to why people wouldn't stop to help a fellow human being!

  Meghan Trainor- Dear Future Husband.

This music video of all the normal stereotype of what is expected of women, for example being in the kitchen cooking and cleaning all day long. It is a representation of what the media poetry women to be good for although Meghan Trainor has added a spin to this norm by saying how she wont cook, clean, have sex and stay at home all day, she shoes that women can get jobs and work just like men and how they are not always dependent on men for things. This enables females watching this video to relate or give them the sense of independence to rise above being oppressed by men. Also it shows that men should treat her with respect and the way she is supposed to be treated and nothing less, they should know how to treat her like a lady no matter what. The colours and theme used is represented of the 1900's which in those days women were expected to do all the house wife chores.

Angus, thongs and perfect snogging poster.

This is a poster which is advertising a new movie it has the main protagonist sitting on the floor with loads of different symbolic things floating behind her to represent her thoughts. By having the main subject of the poster being a young girl it will attract the audience of teen girls as they would be drawn to it as they can relate making them want to go watch the film. There is pictures of boys, friends, her cat, school and many others, this is all things that many young female think about on a daily basis as it is apart of everyday life. It has loads of bright colours making it aesthetically pleasing and eye catching to the whoever happens to walk past it.

BIKINI WARS: ' I’m A Celebrity beauties Ola Jordan and Lisa Snowdon strip off to bikinis for racy shower scene'

The story I choose was about Ola Jordan and Lisa Snowdon being shown in the paper having a shower in their bikini after a long day of challenges. The article then goes on to talk about their diet and how they maintain their body.


This article to me is shameful they way how The Sun has found a way to sexualise women from something so innocent like washing off their body after a long day, which they have no choice to do as they are stuck in the jungle. In a way this article makes lady seem as they are just supposed to be sexualised because out of all the aspects they could have chosen to write about they choose to write about them being in the shower downgrading the value of women.

I feel as though this article will appeal to  men but make women feel self-consensus about their body as they might no look like this and have this type of body.

'I'M A DRUG ADDICT' X Factor star Honey G admits to taking cocaine, ecstasy, magic mushrooms and weed after sexual assault at college led to drug addiction

This story is about Honey G revealing that she was once a class a drug addict back in her early years, her addiction started when she was kidnapped and sexually assaulted during collage. The reason why I choose this article is because the Sun portrayed her to be some type of victim to her drug addict which in favour will make the X Factor not have a negative light shone onto the show. It could be seen that both the paper and television show have been working together so that it doesn't look like the show allowed a drug addict onto their showing giving them bad critics from audience loosing them viewers. 

On the other had, this article could really help others who have been addicted to drugs and feel as though they have lost any chances of making a better life and following their dreams and not allowing their past to affect their future and by her doing something positive it gives others the hope to do something better.
