Some useful observations here Kemi. You also need to highlight the use of emotive language, which is a particular convention of real life mags. For example, "My darling girl TRAPPED in an old woman's body," makes the story seem more sensational and extreme than factual. In addition, while they've used a young, fresh looking model as the main image, she's not a celebrity. This is significant given the content of the magazine. It indicates the 'reality' of the content while still providing an attractive and aspirational element to the magazine. Why do you think she has a beaming smile on her face when all of the coverlines convey a sense of despair.
