Ex-prime
minister of England Tony Blair spends his time into a NGO called the Tony Blair
Faith Foundation (TBFF). They have the aim to prevent, “religious prejudice and
conflict and extremism working with people of faith and none…” When a prime minister in England, even though
being passionately religious, he did not express it in public with fear of
being considered a nutter. Religion is a force for knowledge and mutual
understanding instead of “benighted ignorance”. One of TBFF’s main projects is
in Sierra Leone were the principle that in the world’s poorest places, were capitals
religion is “indispensable”, is being tested.
Blair is trying to educate and inform basic knowledge to poor people in
poor countries, threw religion.
The
author is informational in the beginning of the selection. Yet once the
informational part is over, he jumps in to his point of view, doing this in a
way that readers hardly notice. Because the selection is filled with statistics
and profs, the essay is reliable, and it can be said that the author was
effective in his righting. He has a
clear voice and is not confusing, with a clear and extended vocabulary. Since the
language is so clear and easy to read, the audience can vary greatly. Yet overall
the author is clear in his wording, and effective in transmitting his main idea
and point of emphasis.
