Features of writing to inform.

I read two articles one was called Snakes on a Plane becomes a reality after serpent found on airliner when a 10ft python was attached to the wing of a plane and the other one was found in a passengers cabin and it was a 8 inch corn snake. The second article was about World Rhino day: Number of rhinos poached reaches record high. This was about the amount of rhinos poached ad community’s coming together to stop rhino poaching.

In the article Snakes on a Plane becomes reality they give out helpful information like how big the snake was and how many snakes there was and where the plane was heading to when it got reported. The 10ft python hanging of the wing died.  370 planes were delayed because of the snakes so they had to search the planes incase there was more snakes on those planes.

In the article It says that illegal poaching has increased by 5,000 per cent in South Africa since 2007. There are fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos left in the wild today. Some worry they will become extinct like the western black rhinoceros in 2011. Edna said we have already got Vietnam and People’s Republic of China signed memoranda of understanding.

They used all these statistics to give the readers more information about the situation like on the article about Snakes on a Plane they said the type and size of the snake and where the plane was heading to and where it coming from. With the World rhino day they told us the type of rhino that was nearly extinct and how many there was of them left in the wild. And they let you know what countries are trying there best to stop it.

Each story covered the 5 W’s like in Snakes on a Plane article where was leaving Sydney, heading to Tokyo, half way to Papua New Guinea. Who were passengers and the authorities. What was a snake seeing a snake. On World Rhino day the 5 w’s was (when) every year on the 22^nd of September. (Who) WWF and Edna Molewa, where South Africa.

I found out that both articles included statistics, quotes, 5 w’s, headings and formal language. In the articles the writers included lots of facts to inform the reader about the situation and event that was going on at the time.
