In this passage how does George Alagiah present his views about his experience as a television reporter in Somalia? You may include brief quotation for your answer. Sample Answer: George Alagiah presents is views about his experience of the war in Somalia, by giving a vivid picture of each person he met in a helmet (village) outside Gufgaduud. He tells us of Amina Abdirahman and her 2 daughters Habiba and Ayeen. While Amina was out searching for root vegetables, one of the daughter Habiba had died of hunger. Then there was the old woman, who had been wounded in the leg during the war. Her relations were too weak to carry her. Then there was the old man who was lying with the hoe by his side as if he was going to get up and work. The old man smiled at George. It was a smile of apology George later found out when he sent his translator back to ask the old man why he smiled at George. This really had an effect on George. He said he should have asked the old man his name. His regretted it but he resolved to write about him. I think his presents his views and images very well of a war from Somalia and this effect on the people. He is a TV reporter. In that media he uses images pictures. But here he is writing about it. To convey the horror of war he uses very descriptive and vivid language for example He uses words like shocking. What shocked the reporters at the beginning because mundane of ordinary after a week. The reporters become callous to the suffering of the people. They want images that move the people at home watching TV. He speaks of quiet suffering and lonely death as a contrast to the images of thousands suffering. He uses four adjectives to describe people dying of hunger hungry, lean, scared and betrayed.
