Rastamouse

We see the issue immediately from the headline, which has a bold question. The use of a powerful adjective 'rank' makes the issue known to the audience. Initially it is an rhetorical question, however the author puts their opinion across in the majority of the text as Rastamouse being a positive show. To do this, we do see the use of a first person plural possessive noun where the author refers to rastamouse as 'Our furry hero'. By doing this the author is assuming the audience had a position of agreeing with what they're saying, making everyone who reads the article a collective and with the same opinion. This therefore portrays their thoughts on Rastamouse as it being heroic and also shapes the audiences response and opinions without them having a choice.
Also a sense if irony could be seen by the author. After making the point of complaints about cheese being a code for marijuana the author says '"cheese" oft-featured in a show about mice' which could give off the impression that the author is mocking the complaints, almost saying there would be an obvious reference to cheese where there's mice. It could also be seen as a try at humour, therefore giving a more familiar tone for the audience which can persuade their opinions to match that of the writer.
The text concludes with another question, again the author refers to Rastamouse as a hero; 'our red, gold and green hero' also uses the collective noun 'our' for a second time, as an audience it is assumed that we are grouped with the same opinion, as well as the author, which shapes opinions of the readers.
