Julianne Hough has quickly risen to fame. Starting with her time on Dancing with the Stars to her main role in the remake of Footloose, Hough is a name nearly everyone knows. She acknowledges that over the years she has changed a lot from growing up in a small town in Utah to now working on a film with Tom Cruise, but despite her success, she remains humble.
This article came from People magazine which covers celebrity news and human interest stories. It was named Magazine of the Year in 2005 by Advertising Age for its excellence in editorial, circulation and advertising.
This article was written in response to her latest film, Footloose which was a major success at the box office. Hough is being recognized for more than dating Ryan Seacrest. Her talents are remembered.
The purpose of this article was to show that many of her successes are due to some struggles in the past. As a teenager, she spent years away from her family in England to train as a professional dancer. At 18, she ended her engagement to Zach Wilson. These events, though difficult, helped shape the person she is today.
The audience intended for this article is readers of People magazine and anyone who likes celebrity news.
Rhetorical devices in this piece include dialogue and an appeal to pathos. Because this article is about Hough and her life, the author uses Hough’s own words to make it more personnel. The article reads as a time line, beginning with a reflection of Hough’s childhood to the present. There is also an appeal to pathos as in the conclusion, Hough speaks of wishing to be young again and to relive her childhood. This can inspire readers to not take things so seriously.
The author did achieve her purpose. This was more of a light and fun read, however the rhetorical devices the author used made Hough seem like a relatable person who struggled but can succeed.
