During the programme’s results show last night, an appeal was aired for Great Ormond Street children’s hospital featuring the story of an ill little girl.
Viewers were told about Kaychanel, a 10-year-old child from Norwich who suffers from a condition called Vacterl Sequence, has to undergo three to four hours of dialysis every week, and has a tracheostomy to help her breathe.
The former Apprentice candidate Hopkins tweeted live throughout last night’s results programme, and when the girl appeared wrote: “Kaychanel has enough on her plate without me adding to it. Could have been worse. KayEsteeLauder.”
The comment angered a number of fellow viewers, with one Twitter user writing: “@KTHopkins you really are disgusting. I hope your children aren't bullied at school due to your lack of compassion and decency.”
The controversial talk show personality, who was recently the subject of an online petition calling for her to be banned from appearing on TV, seemed to revel in the offence she caused, writing: “I believe I offer haters therapy. They offload their venom, I feel happy looking down at the snakes at play.”
Hopkins later warned: “Mess with the Hopkinators and we will take you down.”
She was forced to apologise earlier this month after making a joke about Scottish life expectancy the day after the fatal Clutha Vaults helicopter crash in Glasgow.
And Hopkins has form when criticising children’s names, after angering viewers of This Morning by criticising those which she said were “lower class”. She later published a 36-page book entitled The Class Book of Baby Names.

"Viewers were told about Kaychanel, a 10-year-old child from Norwich who suffers from a condition called Vacterl Sequence, has to undergo three to four hours of dialysis every week, and has a tracheostomy to help her breathe." The writer adds extra information as an embedded clause to inform the reader about her condition and how old she is. They also add relative clauses to add further detail about her treatment. This, along with the use of jargan, "dialysis" and "tracheostomy"...
ReplyDeleteThe controversial talk show personality, who was recently the subject of an online petition calling for her to be banned from appearing on TV, seemed to revel in the offence she caused, writing: “I believe I offer haters therapy. – This is a complex sentence, we see this through the lack of connectives but with an embedded clause. The use of the embedded clause offers more information about Katie Hopkins, specifically aimed at showing how disliked she is.
ReplyDeleteViewers were told about Kaychanel, a 10-year-old child from Norwich who suffers from a condition called Vacterl Sequence, has to undergo three to four hours of dialysis every week, and has a tracheostomy to help her breathe. – This is a Compound-Complex sentence due to it having connectives, using ellipsis to miss out one of these and having an embedded clause. The use of the compound-complex sentence is used to stress just how ill the child is, and how bad Katie’s actions are.
She later published a 36-page book entitled The Class Book of Baby Names.- This is a simple sentence due to the lack of connectives and other clauses, It is placed at the end of the article as to emphasis how opinionated the woman is and to add extra information about her.
Eve Mikhael :- "The controversial talk show personality, who was recently the subject of an online petition calling for her to be banned from appearing on TV, seemed to revel in the offence she caused, writing: “I believe I offer haters therapy."- this sentence is complex, because after the commas there is extra information added in order to put across to the audience just how horrible she is. The complex sentence is used to make it sound like she has judged a lot of things and she is disliked by many people.
ReplyDelete"Viewers were told about Kaychanel, a 10-year-old child from Norwich who suffers from a condition called Vacterl Sequence, has to undergo three to four hours of dialysis every week, and has a tracheostomy to help her breathe."- this is a compound complex sentence because the sentence involves a connective 'and' in order to emphasise just how ill this child is and how horrible Katie is to judge her.
"She later published a 36-page book entitled The Class Book of Baby Names."- this is a simple sentence, and it used to end the article with confusion. Katie is disliked by many yet she feels the urge to create a baby name book after critisising the name of an ill child. The simple sentence is short and a clever line to finish with, because it describes the type of character Katie is in one line because it has at the end of the article. She is very opinionative.
"Could have been worse."- this simple sentence is very short and only involves few words. It is a quote from Katie herself and it is used to insult the ill child's name. She just wanted to put her point across, and so she did it in a short and snappy way. She doesn't care what others think, and therefore, she only feels as if she needs to put a couple of words to express how silly she believes the name is.
'Tweeted' is a verb, and it represents Katie Hopkins as technologically minded. It is also a way that she can share her opinions to a wider audience and quite quickly. It shows that she doesnt put much thought into what she is saying, instead just writing it and sending it instantly without having to plan anything formally. Another word used within the article is "controversial", this is an adjective. The use of this word represents Katie as having quite unique, and questionable views about things. Because of this the reader might then think that she could be quite unlikable and hard to get along with due to her having views that are difficult to agree with, therefore when talking to Katie about things, people could get frustrated with her.
