Talk Table Commentary

AA Gill describes Soho descriptively and formally, therefore the audience will be to an older, more acedemic person. He uses different techniques to make his review more interesting, attempting to draw the audience in to make them agree with him, for example he uses alliteration such as the title 'Table Talk', automatically grabbing the readers attention to stay on his page. In the first sentence he continues to use alliteration by saying 'flirty, flighty, fluttering', this makes the reader realise that the review will be fun and interesting to read. The graphology of the review shows profession but also wittiness. He shows vanity by putting a picture of himself on the top left hand corner, and also a picture of the restaurant itself, with different sized fonts for some pieces of writing to broadcast how bad the restaurant really is. By doing this he hopes that the audience if not anything else, read this larger piece of writing, so they know how bad it really is.
