THE MUPPETS

The Introduction of the article, presents what the magazine article will be about; 'Thirty-five years since first gracing our screens, Kermit, Miss Piggy and the gang are back. It's time to raise the curtain and discuss, um, Radiohead's carbon emissions and dating Lady Gaga...'

This introduction is a a summary of the magazine, and is written as it is spoken, this text seems to be both formal whilst being informal at the same time - 'um' this suggests that the author is speaking directly to their audience and tries to welcome them in with open arms.

The article as a whole uses humour to keep the reader entertained, and interested - 'much like senior Gallagher, Kermit has previous experience of dealing with an especially demanding bandmate' this is meant to inspire humour and draw the reader in.
Furthermore the article is layout as an interview meaning it shows the different opinions, and what it is exactly that they have said.


"TELL SANTA I'VE BEEN GOOD!"

'YOU ME At six frontman Josh Franceschi has reacted with shock and sadness over recent research which has shown that boys that share his first name are least well-behaved in the run up to Christmas Day.'
This introduction shows what the article is about and what will be involved in the magazine. When reading this introduction I felt the need to read on, because I found it rather weird and luring, this is because its a weird, creative summary of the article and it draws in their audience as you wouldn't expect to read something like that and leaves the audience wanting an understanding of the article.


MUSE? GIVE ME KING ADORA EVERYTIME

'With Haven and King Adora the subject of books and films, Hamish MacBain discovers that their hard-luck, coulda-woulda-shoulda-been stories are perfect for a couple of true underdog tales'

This opens us up to the article but doesn't give a summary of it, infact gives very little understanding unless you understand the references to 'Hamish MacBain', 'Haven and King Adora' and the 'Coulda-woulda-shoulda-been stories' this is to try and entice the reader to gain and understanding of what it is they are actually talking about, and for people who understand the references then the wording used give them different views on whats being read as it could be determined as opinionated writing.
