On other hand in source B, the writer present negative attitudes towards homeless people, the writer describe the beggar to be fake "raising £800 in just three days.", this shows the beggars to be bad people and the beggars are annoying . 

Secondly,
In the source A, the writer shows sympathy towards homeless people, the writer describe the homeless man called Paddy is ashamed "he was horribly ashamed of being a tramp," this shows that Paddy is a proud man, and still have respect for himself. 
On other hand in source B, the writer shows hardhearted towards homeless people, the writer present beggars to be a nuisances "one of 10 hardcore beggars" , this shows there are viewed as a nuisances and because of them the tone of city is lower and therefor not welcome by most people. ]]> 2019-02-05 11:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327706687 Brendan James Townsend TheLoudHouse1998 https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327706716 In Source A, The author has a kind heart attitude towards the homeless people. Mr Orwell describes Paddy as a "sad, lonely" man, who feels horribly sad & ashamed of becoming a tramp. Mr Orwell also points out that Paddy did not commit crime, & was possibly framed. Paddy was often hungry & thirsty, & could become mental if he doesn't eat/drink something. 

In Source B, The Daily Mail has a "cold hearted" attitude towards homeless people. The Daily Mail calls 1 homeless man a "nuisance beggar". This shows that the  homeless people are pestering for money, & are being annoying towards civilians. A police spokeswoman think that the homeless man could be pretending to be homeless to pester money from civilians. 

Secondly, the writer shows that he is sympathetic towards Paddy, the homeless "former tramp". Paddy feels horribly ashamed, & sadly guilty of being a tramp. 

We, the readers, feel sorry for Paddy, & think we should give him food & water to get his energy back, & try & help Paddy find him a new home. ]]> 2019-02-05 11:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327706716 Cody Sells codyplaystation159 https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327706758 Firstly in Source A, the writer presents a a positive attitude towards homeless people, as the homeless man named Paddy is sharing and caring as he was "capable of sharing his last crust with a friend indeed he did literally share his last crust with me more than once" this shows that Paddy is a person that looks out for others than himself. Secondly the writer makes us feel sympathy for Paddy as "he was horribly ashamed of being a tramp" this makes us feel sympathy as Paddy is now turning against himself as he is ashamed of being a tramp.  on the other hand Source B, homeless people are described as scammers, as this one apparent homeless person had £800 saved up from possibly asking for money but here is the catch that person was not even homeless and the police fear this person could be "one of 10 hardcore beggars", this shows that these apparent homeless beggars are possibly in leagued with one another. This will possibly make others view the homeless as tricksters and possible scammers. 

 Secondly the £800 apparent homeless person was arrested but was released as the police had insufficient evidence of the homeless person acquiring the money illegally. This shows that homeless people are hardcore beggars and are not as they seem, some people would use homelessness as a cloak of disguise to easily acquire money, which is a massive scam as the money given to this apparent homeless man went to no avail as this man possibly already had a home if he was not even homeless. where as in Source A they are not shown as scammers and are caring and sharing as Paddy was "capable of sharing his last crust with a friend" this shows that Paddy was different to the homeless people in Source B as he was caring however the homeless people in Source B were not caring as they scammed the providers of the money as their money will not go to the cause that they wanted, instead it went to no avail. ]]> 2019-02-05 11:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327706758 BBC HD davide_ningbahouot https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327706848  in source a the writer describe the character (paddy) as a good person "he had no stomach for crimes" this quote suggest that he doesn't like crimes, and also suggest that homeless people are good people however in source B the extract as a negative perspective of homeless people, the extract describe homeless as a delinquent when in "has boasted of raising £800 in just three days" this quote suggest that homeless people are people who lives great life putting every homeless people in a bad light, to the public 



"Secondly in Source A, the writer makes us feel sympathy he was horribly ashamed of being a tramp, but he had picked up all a tramp's ways" this quote suggest paddy humanity and that he wasn't always a tramp "he had picked up all a tramp's way" ]]> 2019-02-05 11:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327706848 Martin Francis Martinus2001 https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327707090 In source A the writer had a positive attitude towards Paddy who was a tramp and he was a fighter which can be expected as Paddy served 2 years in the war, this is shown in the quote "served 2 years in the war". This shows that Paddy fights for his country, but in return he has no job and he is now homeless. Paddy is ashamed of being a tramp however, he looks after himself by shaving his beard. However, In source B the writer had a negative attitude towards homeless people. "Nuisance beggar caught with £800 in his pocket".

The policewoman said that he hasn't broken any laws while earning the £800 as he wasn't asking for money, he was just sitting there shivering and people felt bad for him. Nottinghamshire police fears that he could be 1 out of 10 hard-core beggars operating in the city.]]> 2019-02-05 11:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327707090 Mitchell Herron https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327707392 Source A, the writer presents Homeless people as a positive label as he uses just one  guy called Paddy to represent homelessness as a whole as he describes him as a tramp who is careful of his appearance. "He was careful of his appearance altogether", This shows that homeless people still take pride even though most of his humanity has been swept away.
In source B homelessness is seen as a fraud and is making most people question the fact if people are really homeless, It is also has made people see homeless people a criminals and all they want is money.
QUOTE- from the text and explain your point.




Also in source A Homelessness is still represented as a positive label as George Orwell shows no matter how low Paddy gets he still has a little bit of humanity in him as he knows not to steal even though he doesn't have much, "Best to leave it . it don't do a man no good to steal" This shows that there is still hope for those who have fallen to great depth and that they are not 100% animals they still have a little bit of humanity left inside them. However in Source B]]> 2019-02-05 11:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327707392 Noah Gale noah_g_2000 https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327707593
  • In Source A the writer George Orwell uses a positive attitude towards homeless people by talking about his friend Paddy who maybe a tramp he is a nice guy. ("he was a good fellow, generous by nature and capable of sharing his last crust with a friend")
  • In source B the Daily Mail Online uses a negative attitude towards homeless people by telling us that homeless people are nothing but beggars ("nuisance beggar caught with £800 in his pocket for just three days scrounging") This tells us the all homeless people do nothing but lie and are criminals.

    In Source B The Writer has a very negative attitude towards homeless people by saying "Nuisance Beggar" the writer also mentions that the "Beggar" might not even be homeless at all "Although the man is well known as a prolific beggar, they were forced to hand the money back to him as he had been arrested for something else and it could not be proven"]]>     2019-02-05 11:48:55 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327708495     Ioanna Kapourani ioanna_kapourani https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327709115 In Source A the writer describes the homeless people with positive words "he was a good fellow, generous by nature and capable of sharing his last crust with a friend".This shows that even homeless people share things with each other and they are not being selfish.
    In contrast,  In Source B the writer starts to be very negative and not even believe that Paddy is homeless. " A beggar that police believe isn't even homeless has boasted of raising £800 in just three days". That shows that homeless people are liars. The police knows well Paddy, Paddy got arrested in Nottingham on February 4th  but they gave him the money back because they didn't have evidence to prove. My opinion is that they are a lot of homeless people that need our help but we are really selfish and we don't care about this people because we never felt like them and even if we have to give something we keep it for our self.
    Secondly, homeless people make as have sympathy and being better people because we are helping someone that needs our help and make them happy. ]]>     2019-02-05 11:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327709115     FSE https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327731842 2019-02-05 13:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/327731842 Noah Gale noah_g_2000 https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/330280697 The writer uses an negative attitude towards beggars by using emotive language "scam" which suggest that beggars are tricksters/con artist "It just shows that when some of these people ask for money it is just a scam."

    The author uses the chiefs opinion to make the reader believe what he is saying, The chief has a negative point of view of homelessness and beggars, He says "doesn't surprise us any more", this means that he doesn't care about beggars and he has lost all hope for them and he doesn't trust anyone who is homeless. 
    The chief also uses emotive language to convey his accusatory attitude towards homelessness and beggars because he tells the reporter that they are "conning" people for their money. ]]>     2019-02-12 11:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/330280801     Cody Sells codyplaystation159 https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/330280815 The write uses fact..... "Finding that amount of money someone like that doesn't surprise us anymore" this suggest that the local police are too fond of finding a lot of money on homeless people. This is negative as the homeless are clearly manipulative to the money providers. 

    The writer uses opinion in the extract as he uses the quote stating "They don't need to go on begging" this suggests that the police believe that the homeless has had their fair share of begging and now need to stop. This is a negative as the the word "begging" means pleading towards a outcome and the homeless people are excessively begging others for extra cash. This will make the homeless people come off as annoying. ]]>     2019-02-12 11:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/330280815     don't read my name davide_ningbahouot https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/330281040 the writer uses language in a derogatory way to describe homeless to the readers.
    The writer uses opinion "this people" to describe homeless people, this suggest that the quote as simple as it look, is indirectly classifying homeless people in a category, and it's inviting the reader despise them. this creates a hateful and acerbic tones towards homeless and beggars this can influence reader opinion towards homeless

    the writer also uses verb " It just shows that when some of these people ask for money it is just a scam" to describe what he think they do, the verb suggest that he has a very negative view toward the homeless as he also has never made positive phrase about them, this can play in the reader mind, provocating a sense of alarmation towards the homeless]]>     2019-02-12 11:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/330281040     Martin Francis Martinus2001 https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/330281774 The writer uses negative language to convey a negative attitude towards beggars. The writer uses emotive language in the quote "Just a scam" which makes the reader feel angry that people are impersonating homeless people just so they can get a bit more money to spend.

    The writer uses emotive language in the quote "Are being conned" which suggests that people don't realise that other people are impersonating homeless people just so they can get a bit more money.

The word conning also means that homeless people are scamming someone of their money.

    The writer also uses emotive language such as "these people have more than enough" suggesting that homeless people are already comfortable with who they are. The writer is appearing like the judge over these people who are beneath him in terms of status.

It suggests that they are manipulating & mind controlling you to give the money to take/steal money away from you. 

    The quote "If you give to people at the street, you really have no idea who that money is going to" is a Direct Address.

    PAPER 2 / QUESTION 5 / HOMELESS PEOPLE 
    Dear Editor 

    I am writing in response to the article about beggars being a nuisance. I feel shocked, upset and horrified that the beggars being called a nuisance, do you really think all the beggars are bad or nuisance? 

    Firstly, the problem with homeless is rising in the UK and all around the world. The UK people are being victim of any situation; such as earthquake, natural damage and business. We need to do something about this situation. 

    Secondly, did you know how many people are homeless in the UK? Well, there are about 320,000 people homeless in the UK. They have no home, no money and no place to stay and UK Government is trying help the homeless people by given them foods, places and works, so they can people happily again.

    My main concern about the article is that it’s representing all the homeless people being bad and nuisances. there are bad people trying to be beggars and take money from the people. But not all the beggars are bad and nuisances. 

    Overall, I think that the article was about representing the beggars as bad people, lower level people and not worth helping people, because of the bad people to being beggars and stealing and taking money from the people.

    Dear Editor, 

    I am writing this response to the article about beggars being a nuisance. To tell you the truth, I feel sympathy for the homeless people because they don't deserve to be called a nuisance. It is a disgrace.

    Also, the problem with homeless people is rising in the UK & all around other countries. They become homeless by bankrupt, low fiance, losing their loved ones in any disaster, etc. 

    There is about 320,000 people who are homeless in the UK. What could we do to help the homeless people? There are charities that can help the homeless people, & lift up their hearts.

    My main concern & worry about the article is that it represents the homeless people trying to be beggars & take money from people because they are only trying to find a new home. Not all beggars deserve to be bad & nuisances. I know a homeless person named Paddy, who lost his job a few months ago. He tries his best to find himself a new home, & feels remorse for being a tramp.

    Yours Sincerely,

    I am stating my response that i disagree to your article surrounding the homeless being a nuisance. I myself feel shocked and annoyed with your statement. Firstly these homeless people you called a nuisance have lost everything that they previously owned. I acknowledge the con artists posing as homeless people to get money, but you have possibly turned every other people against the real homeless people. Stopping them from getting money which stops them from buying food and beverages and clothing. 

    Secondly You yourself have created the "Butterfly effect" where one action leads to an outcome that could be good or bad. And this action you have done will turn out bad, over 300,000  people are homeless struggling, clawing their way to acquire money in the UK, and you may have just cut the money off from those 300,000 by saying they are a nuisance.

    Finally I know a homeless person who struggles on the street near my area, and each day i go to the shops i see this man on the side next to a wall staring at me and then and he is there almost everyday sitting there asking the richer people for money and he gets barely nothing all because of one thing the "Butterfly effect", it spreads faster than a virus and this has been caused by your single word you have stated "Nuisance". 

    There is a difference to a real homeless person and a con artist homeless person, the difference is the money given to the real homeless people can be used to rebuild their lives and the other difference is the money given to the con artists goes to them selves same as the real homeless people but the money goes towards nothing they can not rebuild their lives because their lives are already built and its very strong as they have backup money to pay off rent, bills and other stuff because they can rebuild their lives with this given money whilst real homeless people can rebuild their lives and the money given does to go a good cause.

    In conclusion i disagree with your article as it is vile and unethical now to finally end of this letter you can do two things now, you can acknowledge this letter and change what you have done or you could throw this letter into the bin and stare out your window and watch everything these real homeless people have built crumble to the ground but the choice you make after reading this and the action you take will spawn another "Butterfly effect". I do hope you can see the error of your ways and clear this up.

    Yours faithfully 
    Cody Sells

    I am writing to respond about your article regarding the fact that homeless are being a nuisance. 
    First may I say that I am shocked by the fact that you think that just because some of them are beggars.

    I am starting my response to your article about the homeless being a nuisance. I felt shocked when I read the article and I totally disagree because these people didn't just wake up one day and said I want to be a homeless.

     Can you imagine waking up with no home, family and job? It must be a nightmare. I feel sad watching these people begging for food and  for money. It's not a choose they are making just for one day because they want to know how they will feel if they don't have nothing.

    I am writing in response to the article about nuisance beggars. I felt really distraught, irritated and heartbroken when I read your article about nuisance beggars. I will tell you my opinion and how I disagree with the article and why I disagree.

    Firstly, when you said that beggars are con-artists and are stealing money from people; I disagree with you because you don’t personally know the beggars so you don’t know their story, beggars can’t choose whether they are homeless or not. How would you like it if you lost your home and everything you loved?

    Secondly, I don't think you know how it feels to have everything you had and loved ripped away from you in one big foul swoop. Do you think you can decide who is a criminal and who isn't? Well I have news for you, you can't justify that every beggar is a nuisance because they sit in one spot for hours at a time, some people may be impersonating a beggar/homeless person but that doesn't mean that everyone is doing that.]]>     2019-02-26 11:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/335306109     Michael Brown michael_brown15 https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/335306727 Dear Editor,

    I am responding to your article about homeless people in which I found very  shocking, appauling and cruel.

    First of all how do you know if all homeless people are "beggars" as you make out do you know all the homeless people in London? and also do you even have evidence that he is in fact homeless. Not all homeless people are "con artists" or "imposters" as you suggest in your article.

    Secondly you say 1 in 10 people are con artists but where did you find these statistics? and did you also know that there half a million homeless people in the UK? and this is because of people losing their jobs, getting kicked out their home and even finance loss.

    Dear Editor

    I am writing in response to the article about beggars being a nuisance. i feel shocked, upset and horrified that the beggars being called a nuisance, do you really  think all the beggars are bad or nuisance?!, i think not all of the homeless people are bad.

    Firstly, the problem with homeless is rising in the UK and all around the world. The UK people are being victim of any situation; such as  accidentally damage to the propriety, natural damage of sea rising level and business money losses. We need to do something about this situation or otherwise...

    Secondly, did you know how many people are homeless in the UK? Well, there are about 320,000 people homeless in the UK. they have no money, no home to stay and UK Government is trying to help the homeless people by given them food, place to stay and work-placement  for homeless people.

    My main concern about the article is that it's representing all the homeless people being bad and nuisances. The bad people trying to con-artist and taking money from the people, however not all the beggars are bad and nuisances, because what i saw the beggar was different thing. In my hometown street, i was going out side for shopping and there was a beggar laying down hopeless and i can see the bone of beggar almost as if there wasn't any fat left in beggar, and i feel that sad, unhappy and this cold dark place that the beggar must living in, and i give a five pound note to the beggars and the thing is the beggar isn't asking for the money, and i said "Keep it" and beggar replay with the kind face "Thank you" and i walked away. 
    this shows the gentleness and kindness.

    Overall, i think that the article is about representing homeless people as a bad people, lower class people and not worth helping people, because of the con-artist stealing money for people

    Firstly I don't think homeless are deficient as your article want to make us believe , I've had and still have homeless friends, they are very pleasant humble but very unfortunate people, you and other people might think otherwise but the fact is that in the UK every year 1 million people  become homeless, do you care?

    secondly after having read your article I've notice the way you address about this people and i think it's wrong during your article you adress them to th reader as inferior and ]]>     2019-02-26 12:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/335308546     m michael_brown15 https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/348450732 2019-04-04 11:13:33 UTC https://padlet.com/FSE/P2/wish/348450732
