Both texts (the speech and the advertisement) address voluntourism. However, each text has a different purpose, which is reflect
ed by the details each writer chose to include. Consider the words and images used. In a paragraph of 6-8 sentences, identify what each text emphasizes and explain how that emphasis helps accomplish each author's purpose. Be sure to state each text's purpose and include evidence from both texts to support your analysis.
After reading the text and analyzing the advertisement about voluntourism, we can write a paragraph in the following manner (the paragraph has been divided into two parts for better readability):
The text emphasizes how voluntourism can actually help keep people and animals in poor conditions rather than helping them live a better life. According to someone interviewed by the author, "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."
The advertisement, on the other hand, aims to attract voluntourists by making voluntourism sound as an amazing and inspiring experience in which real help is given to poor and needy communities. It mentions "opportunities that will not only change your life but also make the world a better, brighter place."
<h3>What are the two texts about?</h3>
Both texts focus on voluntourism. A voluntourist is someone who travels abroad with the purpose of helping people in poor or developing countries. Vonluntourists may help teach English, build houses, etc.
However, the first text shows the dark side of voluntourism. It explains how communities around the world are kept in poorconditions in order to attract tourists.
The second text, which is and ad, on the other hand, promotes voluntourism as something great, making it seem as if a voluntourist will actually make a difference in people's lives.
If I was writing a letter to myself I would tell myself to ask more questions. I would know and understand a lot more if I did ask. I would probably be more organized and useful. (I’m just going to start naming things) Advice to give yourself- Study more- Read more- Be more organized- Make friends- What would you Change- I would listen more- Think smarter and not harder. Pick a couple of those and just go off them. Good luck btw
