Narrative
how is the narrative in the text organized and structured?

The society and the issues that I am investigating have changed over the years as in the past, in the text 'Mind your language' they tried to include many countries due to the post-colonialism beginning and the country had tried to bring over people from different countries as in the program they try teaching English to the people from different countries in which they taught the. This was changed over the recent years due to the 9/11 attacks & the 7/7 bombings in which TV especially american television had changed their aspect of Muslims.

It is quiet similar to my text due to the comedy but citizen khan more relies the stereotypical side of Muslims as it is the writer Adil Ray interpretation of his life but 'Mind your Language' is self representation of the country at that stage as it was going through the post-colonial era and still is but when Mind your language had come out many ethnic minorities were taking over the white peoples jobs in which Mind your language had been made by white people.
