Analyse the meanings and representations in the text
There is evidence of rhetorical questions in the text. The rhetorical question 'taking the EPQ next year?' acts as a leading question. The implied meaning is that it will allow the consumer of the text to answer this rhetorical question in their mind. This answer will lead him to answer the primary question that the questioner wanted him to answer in the first place. This represents the consumer as easily enticed as the producer of the text can engage the reader by asking them an open question.
The place in which the text is consumed is also relevant; the college setting in which the text is read means that students will be the consumer of the text, this makes the use of synthetic personalisation relevant. synthetic personalisation is used to create an artificial relationship between the text and the consumer. Students are likely to be more liable to the idea of a artificial relationship as they are stereotypically more enthusiastic & optimistic individuals.
