Please paste the Obituary assignment here.
The famous dress designer Vera Guo is celebrating her 75’s birthday today. As a successful dress designer, she has mostly managed to fulfill her childhood dream that is to make her wedding design the dream dress of all brides. Born in a snowing day in the year 1986, she seemingly has a romantic gene innate and is sensitive to beauty. Without specially trained for design, she first began designing wedding dress after a frustrated search for her own gown in 2013. That experience let her realize a void in the market for simple yet sophisticated wedding dresses. With a degree of the Communication University of China and the perspicacious sense of the international fashion trends, she did well at settling her own wedding dress brand blue rose in the year 2016. Vera Guo specialize in clean, simple, modern lines in rich fabrics. Even with a full ball gown skirt, her simplicity of form creates a crisp and youthful style. In the year 2012, she added a line of evening dress and separates which have seen similar success. These brands since then begin to produce surprise and beauty for women constantly till today.

ASSIGNMENT five Final analysis Enid, Nini, Sunny. Viki, Vera This report, in general, is quite impressive and adequate in sources and supportive materials, although it has showed some authors bias and opinions. In the following, our group want to analysize it from the advantages and shortcomings of the report. Advantages: I.Variety of sources: local media, government report, some wire service, personal interview, internet. 1. interviews with the farmers whose pigs suffer from the epidemic, very vivid and trustful, and this way of reporting connected the audience with individual victims and prompt audience’s sympathy and interest to read on. 2. in the report, we can find that the reporter has a bias for the NGOs(like AFO PloS on line, CITIC) or the individual person who speaks against the government like Huang from an american university. She quotes lot of experts from NGOs to demonstrate what she wants tell the audience. 3. from the report, we can see lots of information are from the government although the author puts some doubt on them, but still, there are voices from the chinese government, so the sources are balanced. The reporter is very skillful in the use of sources, she knows when to use what, for example, she wants to show that some related departments are covering the truth, she chose Chen Qingming, secretary general of the pig breeding division of China's Association of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, who fully knows the pig disease and the situation in china; another typical example, is about the slowliness of sharing the samples with the foreign experts, the reporter chose an analyst from CITIC to convery the audience that it’s because the large profit in the vaccines. II. use of statistics The reporter used lots of numbers which are quite impressive and convincing. Besides, the numbers are used to support some of her assertion, like she thought that the numbers given by the government are false, she put all the related numbers there, and let the audience to do a comparision himself(let the fact to speak itself). III. skills to hide the bias When you go through the whole report, you will feel that the government is not quite good, but at the same time, you can’t deny that the report gave lots of supportive materials. Our group thought the reason is that the author is quite skilled at hiding bias. For example, when you read the government are slow to share samples with foreign countries because of the great economic interest, you feel that the government is selfish and valuing to much on money instead of the human welfare or rights, but the reporter quotes an analyst from CITIC, very authoritative, you just can’t deny that. The reporter says that the chinese government contends they are doing their best to inform the public, but at the end of the report(Many said they did not know the name of the disease that has affected the pigs and that much of what they had heard may be superstition), you can see the government is not doing its work well since the farmers are not knowing the facts of the disease. IV. good structure Although the report are lengthy, the audience won’t get lost, they can follow the author’s logic clearly. Introduction of epidemic situation in China-àresponses from different groups(chinese government, NGOs, farmers) àconflicts from the responsesàselect the material supportive to the intention of the author&quote some authoratives or experts to explain some confusion aroused by the different responses(such like chinese slow action of sharing samples)àaffects from the disease in CHINA and the neighbouring countries. Disadvantages I.the imbedied bias influenced the author’s judgement For example: the death number of the pigs of the dieseas, the author says that the numbers do not match, so she got the conclusion that the government may give out the false number, but in fact, the number maybe resonable. One area that animal disease experts say they want clarified is the numbers. According to the most recent Chinese government estimates, 68,000 pigs died from blue ear disease, 175,000 were slaughtered and an additional 1.5 million were vaccinated in the first eight months of this year. But in a typical year, China loses some 25 million pigs to disease. The number given out by the government maybe not the total number of all pigs died in a year, they are the numbers relating with the disease, but the author thought the numbers are the total number. II.give some improper comments and bias Although the bias we have analysized too much, so here, we wouldn’t make too much fussy. In all, the advantage valued more than disadvantages, so the report is very good, and the author is very experienced and skillful.
