Paper 1

 Question1 

1. Only a few of thousands make the Olympics and to win a gold medal or even bronze is a one in a million. Many people dream of moments like these but few actually experience this. Bolt's experience was a memorable experience as even being the greatest sprinter of all time had no idea that he was gonna win the race until he won it. What leads up to the biggest race for these grown men is trash talk. Most of these men have never gone up against each other in their lives. Then Bang the shot went off to start the race, and Richard Thompson another great sprinter got one of the best starts out of the few but Bolt recovered quickly around 20 meters. Bolt then was second in the pack when his momentum built up and his stride led him past thompson. Bolt questioned himself asking where Asafa was. He then looked behind him and knew around 80 meters he was gonna win the race in the olympics for the 100 meter dash. All those months and years behind him for that shining brilliant gold medal. 

2. In regards to my Newspaper report and the Autobiography written by Usain Bolt, they are 2 very different extracts written very differently. Firstly, starting off with a newspaper report. It is less in a first person perspective and more in a third person perspective describing someone else's feelings through what he is seeing. In the Newspaper article, you would describe Usan Bolt's experiences through ‘he and they’ whereas, in the Autobiography Usain Bolt is describing his feelings and actions in the few seconds of the 100 meter dash in the olympic races.

Nextly, An autobiography is structured to describe things in order  in a less formal way , as if someone was talking to someone else from a chatty point of view. The autobiography is describing what happened and what the actions that took place during the 100 meter dash. However, in the Newspaper article, it is supposed to tell the story of someone else and the purpose is a little more formal and can be less in order. The newspaper article has  a story talking to other people who would be reading the newspaper article such as people who want to know about sports and who won the race. In the autobiography Usain bolt is just telling his own story how he saw it not trying to tell anyone else saw it. 

Furthermore, talking about structure, an autobiography is more spaced out and is more descriptive on his own thoughts and what he thought going through the races from start to finish. In the Newspaper article it wasn't supposed to really describe anything its more of what happened and who won in a big paragraph just letting the reader know what is going on and what happened. 

The language described in the autobiography is more emotive and passionate about the story and what Usain is going through trying to make the reader feel what Usain Bolt is feeling. In the excerpt that I wrote in the newspaper article it was less descriptive and more explaining what happened to the certain people who were going through the 100 meter dash in the olympics. The language used in the autobiography was persuasive, trying to persuade the reader to feel Usain Bolt's passion to show readers what he did and felt when he won. My newspaper story was not persuasive at all and had no form of emotive language to anyone reading. It was more of an expository form of writing showing people the end point of the race during the olympics.
