In this biography it portrays many different personalities, For example at the start we have this man named James Lavelle that is meant to have this ‘bad boy’ type feature it mentions this through the fact it provides the keyword ‘maverick’ which is also stereotyped to be rebellious, free spirited and a popular person like a trend setter. This attracts the audience to read on and find out more.
Secondly they use a very distictive metaphor ‘everest of cocaine’ which shows that Lavelle clearly was a ‘bad boy’ and shows that he went of the rails and used it to have fun, confirms his rebellion to life. However he becomes into great debt after his rebellion and realises that he cannot live a lifestyle like this if he wants to carry on spending that amount of money.
Furthermore, during the end of the biography he lightens up. He made a comeback and released a new album. He explains ‘I’ve put myself through quite extreme situations, both financially and emotionally. But then I got used to that very young.’ This shows his understanding in the situations he put himself through and notices that he’s been through it from such a young age and turns his life around.
Lastly, the biography ends with a rhetorical question “Have you looked at yourself? which engages the reader to really think about the biography and maybe even tell a friend about it because it left them wandering about themselves and what there life really is like and the situations they’ve been through.
