The questions are:
- discuss the concept of belonging conveyed in the article
- analyse how the concept of belonging is conveyed
Please help me... I don't know what to write! And I can't find any techniques

Sorry if the pic is unclear since I can't find a link to it and I'm in desperate need of help!

The article is too small for me to read properly.

But one thing I instantaneously picked up was the title, is an allusion to the show of the same name (may not be relevant).

But news articles they are plenty of techniques to look for;
*Quotes
*Expert opinion
*Authorial intrusion
*Descriptive writing
*Historical details
*Formatting
*Inclusion of images
*Captions
*Puns

etc.

Going from the pictures, title and subtext alone because the small print is impossible to read.

- discuss the concept of belonging conveyed in the article
A concept conveyed in this article regards societies pressure for the individual to conform, this can provide a person with a sense of belonging but can come at the price of hindering a persons individuality and destroying a persons sense of personal identity.

- analyse how the concept of belonging is conveyed

The rhetorical question 'but is self indulgence all it takes to make a young woman happy?' challenges the hollow paradigm of the 'Absolutely fabulous' lifestyle.

The picture doesn't show any of the peoples faces reinforcing the idea that they lack identity while also dehumanizing them.

These techniques show the concept of belonging as something that can erase a persons individuality.
