In this article it is a negative representation of a 60 year old woman and a mother. Stereotypically mothers are seen as nurturing and caring whereas in this case, the the mother or hr mentally ill child has turned against her own family and not only murdered him but dissected his body and thrown him away. This story is the complete opposite of what we would assume a 60 year old mother would be like and therefore it is showing a negative representation of older ages. From the story we are informed that her son was mentally ill and therefore assumptions from this is that dealing with his illness may have pushed her too far however there is no excuse for what she did. Also you could make a judgement and think that maybe if her son was ill, that she might have a slight mental illness as well.

The pictures in the article have all been put in to create an emotion and feeling about Donna Scrivo and this is done by putting in continuous images of her looking slightly scary. In the images of her in a yellow uniform, she appears to look very tired and the wrinkles on her face and faded roots suggest that she has not looked after her well and the look about her, to me, looks slightly scary and like a killer.

However, contradicting to the images and immediate information, later on in the article it provides quotes from family friends and neighbours an=bout how positive they believed Donna and her sons relationship was and how they don't understand why or how she did it.
