Schapelle Corby ’overweight and stressed’ ahead of deportation to Australia
Quotes from people in the article
“She’s overweight now because she is too scared to go and work out.”
“She said to me that she’s scared of the media,” Bali immigration chief Muhammad Natsir told Fairfax Media
While the 39-year-old appeared healthy, Mr Pasaribu said she mentioned she was sometimes afraid to go jogging and swimming in Bali because she feared people were following her.
“She’s been through a hell of a lot and they just want to be left alone,” a family friend told the Gold Coast Bulletin this week.
“It’s taken a lot out of her ... She’s not the same person she went in as.”
Quotes directly from the article
Friends have been warned to expect a very changed woman when Corby returns to Australia after more than a decade.
Corby was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2005 after she was arrested the previous year in Bali with 4.1kg of cannabis inside a bodyboard bag.
The convicted drug smuggler, who is set to return to Australia within weeks, has reportedly complained that she is overweight and stressed by the constant attention ahead of her May 27 deportation from the holiday isle but was upset at the prospect of never being able to return to the holiday isle.
Analysis of the article
This article uses quotes with sympathetic language towards Corby from 'reliable sources' (e.g. authoritative figures such as the immigration chief)
The article has no persuasive language to attempt to evoke sympathy from the audience, it primarily does this through the materials and sources that they have chosen to include in the story
It uses concision, as the article is very short and compact. It only mentions Corby's drug history (which is the reason
why
she is famous in the first place) in a very short sentence at the end of the article. This means that important information could be left out and the public could be exposed to a story that is not entirely truthful
