The audience for the article “Get out of my house!” in Star magazine is largely women who are housewives and primarily, low to middle income but mostly interested in non-credible gossip. Neither Pitt nor Jolie have a movie coming out but are both working on projects.
The argument of the article is that Jolie wants little involvement from Pitt’s parents. When Pitt told Jolie about his parents coming to live with them in France, Jolie was adamant that Pitt’s parents couldn’t stay long. Portraying Jolie to be an irrational and stubborn person. The reader is confused, because it seems nonsensical for Jolie to be so against Pitt’s parents seeing their grandchildren. Showing Jolie as the one that is blowing the situation out of proportion and Pitt being submissive.
The pictures show Jolie as someone who is giving out orders and Pitt as an unenthused man. With a smaller picture of Pitt’s parents with one of Pitt’s children eating ice cream. The latter picture suggests that Pitt’s parents are the quintessential grandparents, feeding the child ice cream. Looking closer, the one of Jolie looks to be from an event and the one of Pitt in just an everyday scenario. Both pictures are taken out of context, showing Jolie as a diva and Pitt as a common man.
“Get out of my house!” in bold and all caps is the headline. The significance is that it seems like Jolie is expressing this sentiment to Pitt and not Pitt’s parents. Since the byline is in the center and the headline is at the top and is very attention grabbing it takes the reader some time to see that it’s about Pitt’s parents. The takeaway is that Jolie might eventually tell Pitt to leave her house. Showing that Jolie has ownership of all the possessions, children and that Pitt and his parents are simply guests.
Explode is a great word used in the text. Stating that maybe Jolie has stayed calm through some of PItt’s attempt, but this was the last straw. An insider that is close to the actress is named as the only source whose ties to Jolie are unknown. The logic used may be that the source is a nanny or any kind of worker for Jolie. Overall, it shows that Pitt is a stable, family oriented man who has a crazy woman for a partner.
Star uses neon pink, black and white; with photos the paparazzi have taken of celebrities. Since Star caters to a largely female audience they are trying to lure them in with a color that they believe women gravitate towards. Other things the reader takes notice of are the advertisements. How to trim belly fat, donating to Mothers2Mothers and John Deere are some advertisements that are on Star’s website. It’s catering to Star’s demographic, minus the John Deere, but maybe they’re hoping that the female of the household, who does most of the shopping, will get the men in their lives John Deere.
