Language Feature	Purpose / Effect
Alliteration	This type of feature allows the person to easily remember the phrase. This is because the sound pattern makes the text more interesting, for example, ‘contrasting cool’ makes the reader feel more engaged with the text, and the phrase will tend to stick in the reader’s head more.
Informal language	The article has used this because it allows the readers to fully understand the content of the article. Also, this adds a flow and rhythm to the text, making it easier for the reader to read it. For example one of the artists says, “I miss being f*cked up”. This shows that the artist is showing this to his fans as they know him very well therefore this will engage them more to the context as they will want to know the reason behind this sentence making the situation more dramatic and engaging.
Emotive language	The artist is consistently described with rather emotive, thought-provoking language, so as to evoke emotions and reactions out of the reader. For example, ‘hard as a rock ‘couldn’t make the rent’ enables the reader to feel somewhat sympathetic towards the artist’s feeling.
Hyperbole	This devise enables the artist to express and emphasise his thoughts and feelings by exaggerating. For example “looking right into my soul”. This will attract the readers and makes them more interested when reading due to the use of the exaggeration. This is because no one can look “into their soul” therefore this is an understatement that will engage the readers towards the artist feelings and allow them to know how the artist is feeling.
Metaphor	This devise will enable to make the sentence more entertaining and more imaginative for the readers as metaphor refers to a meaning or identity ascribed to one subject by way of another.

This will allow them to be more engaged to the contexts making them more entertained.

For example, “A LIFE LIVED LOUD...” The effect of this is to attract the readers more to the sentence and make them want to carry on reading as the use of the ellipses keeps the reader hanging as it doesn’t tell them the full story which makes them want to keep on reading and be more engaged and more interested.
