Bloody Sunday gets explained in the column. The day were the conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland spiraled into new dimensions. Bloody Sunday, Jan 1972, there was a civil rights march in the Catholic area of the Bogside in Derry. At this march, British soldiers decided to shoot at innocent people resulting in the dead of 14 protesters. First 38 years later, the families of those died and the community in general got some kind of peace and justice. The Saville report revealed a lot of truth about the day called Bloody Sunday. In the Widgery report it stated that the firing soldiers had been provoked but the Saville report freed the victims of this accusations. ​

Analysis

The Column is written by Bono, published in The New York Times, 19 June 2010. The sender of the Column is Bono himself. The receiver are the readers of the New York Times and the people of Northern Ireland. The Message in the Column is to express how big an impact Bloody Sunday had on the conflict in Northern Ireland. The Message is also that although it made a bad impact there is hope and that the Saville Report could be a sign that better times and less conflict and violence could be achieved. The Langue in the text is appropriate for the readers of The New York Times. The Column uses a big sum of Pathos and emotions to reach and interest the reader. Bono talks though the text about the sadness, hatred and all the other feelings that people involved in the conflict know to well. He also talks about joy, hope and justice which is emotions the people involved have long longed to. The text does have three pictures. The first picture shows buildings in the light of the sun. The picture is a symbol of the light and hope reaching Northern Ireland. The second Picture is of a peace mural in Kenilworth place. The picture shows a protestant boy and a Catholic girl who shakes hands with each other again as a symbolization of wanting peace and an end to the conflict. The third picture is a mural on the side of a house in Derry. The mural is in remembrance of Bloody Sunday. The subject is relevant though the conflict has a long history. But the column definitely gives some kind of hope or believe that no matter how deep or bad a conflict, peace can be achieved. ​

Perspective
