I believe this article is intended for a lot of the women in China and everyone around the world. I think
Mei Fong is trying to show people how horrible the laws are in China regarding the 1-child policy and
what it draws their citizens to do. I think it is intended for everyone as she is trying to spread the word
and make people more aware of the horrific scenes that happen.

and make people more aware of the horrific scenes that happen.
What is the purpose of this article?
The purpose is to spread the word of the law and what it is bringing parents to do. Feng talks about
how she’s met with many people including “women forced into infanticide or abortions.” by addressing
this she is letting people know that mothers can become so tormented by the punishments that they
are driven to kill their own children, some of which kill themselves in the process.

She also talks about the economy of the country. As there are less children being brought up to have
their own children “By 2050, one in four people in China will be a retiree...With fewer workers paying
into the system and more pensioners drawing from it, the pension shortfall could reach trillions of
dollars

Why do you like it?
I like this article as I don’t see many like this. There aren’t very many that tell us about the many
pressing issues in china all because of this one, one-child policy. I also like the way Mei Feng uses
her own speech in her writing, it makes me feel a lot more engaged with what i’m reading.
PEE analysis - 'China's lost little emperors'
This article by Mei Fong addresses the pressing issues of China's women and the impacts of the '1
child policy'. Fong starts off her article with the two word long sentence "Endings matter". This simple
sentence grabs the reader's attention and focuses them to the point. By stating this, Fong might be
trying to get the point across that hey ending of a woman's pregnancy matters. It should be done the
way she wants and around the time she wants.
Furthermore, Fong also says "the one-child policy has imprinted itself deeply into the lives of almost
everyone is china." This shows that 'almost everyone' in China is impacted due to this policy. The part
that brings the most interest is "imprinted deeply" this phrase shows how the 1-child policy has
embedded itself into the roots of Chinese families and new generations born into the era with the
policy feel it is the correct thing to do, so live by this. The stative verb "imprinted" Show how connected
Chinese people are to this policy. Nearly every one is effected may it be because; the percentage of
elderly people against younger, citizens could be struggling to find a partner due to the depleted
population, or maybe they find it harder to socialise as they couldn't get the practice as children.

What is the subject of this article?
The subject of this article is to show that the predictors are victims in their own way as well. Tom
Squire talks about how he works with men that are offenders and potential offenders. He works with
them to try and understand what triggers these thoughts to happen. Throughout this process Tom will
also try to help the person, try to help them get out of the abusive behavior and become ‘normal’.

Who is the intended audience and how do you know this?
I believe the intended audience are the offenders themselves. Tom is trying to show them that they can
do something to help them, they can talk to someone either in person or online to try and help them.
Squire says “we can only use this knowledge to help people change their behavior if they are willing
to seek our help in the first place.” I think this is meant for offenders so that they’re reassured into
getting the help they want/need. Consequences of not getting help are also stated a little further into
the paragraph, “likely arrest, a very public shaming and loss of friends, their family and their job, as
well as being put on the sex offender register.” This is to show them just how things will pan out if they
don’t get the help.

What is the purpose of this article?
The purpose of this article is to spread awareness to readers that child predators can come in all
shapes and sizes and should always be aware. It is also to show the predators reading that they can
get help. Squire is trying to prove to them that they are also a victim in their own way and can seek
mental help just like the family’s do that are victimized.

Why do you like it?
I like it because it shows a different viewpoint to what is usually expressed. It shows how all people
involved in an incident regarding child predating are victims. This post also talks about how people like
them can be helped, they can seek help before they give in to their ‘desires’.

Who is the intended audience and how do you know this?
The intended audience and most likely people in their 30+. I believe this as the whole piece is very
formal and even though it’s about Kerry’s opinion he has made it very factual. I also believe it is for
30+ as it’s with the national geographic which you don’t see teens reading very often as it’s so formal
and factual.
