Analysis of article by Boris Johnson from The Daily Telegraph. The intention is to show students that the UK press is not only scandal and popular sports. Johnson's article would require a deep knowledge of Shakespeare's tragedies, some knowledge of 16th history and linguistics, a general idea about Mandarin culture and perhaps the Ming dynasty and some appreciation of how irony, facetiousness and sarcasm can be used as critical devices in an essay.
