    1087 Words  | 3 Pages

    Media such as movies, video games and television, in general, are all created to support some form of social context. This helps with generating popularity because people are able to relate to the form of media. In Greg Smith’s book What Media Classes Really Want to Discuss, he describes 6 different representational strategies that justifies people’s way of thinking. The trope that I will be amplifying is the white savior tactic. In addition, I will connect this strategy to the movie The Blind Side. There are clear examples throughout the film where racism and low-income cultures exist in which the white family is there to help. The Tuohy family from the movie “The Blind Side” serves as the white savior for the progression of Michael

    Our lives are influenced by visual rhetoric on a daily basis. Rhetorical components go unnoticed unless one is intently searching for them. Companies carefully work visual rhetoric into advertisements and use it to their advantage to lure in potential consumers. The German car company, Bayerische Motoren Werke, or more commonly known as “BMW”, uses a clip from NBC’s Today Show in 1994. In the clip, the characters are discussing the newfangled idea of the internet. BMW uses nostalgia of the 1990’s as bait to attract an older audience who remember the ‘90’s and when the internet was a new invention. BMW uses the rhetorical elements of character, dialogue, and focus to sell their product.

    This photograph, taken in 1967 in the heart of the Vietnam War Protests, depicts different ideologies about how problems can be solved. In the picture, which narrowly missed winning the Pulitzer Prize, a teen is seen poking carnations into the barrels of guns held by members of the US National Guard. This moment, captured by photographer Bernie Boston symbolizes the flower power movement. Flower power is a phrase that referred to the hippie notion of “make love not war”, and the idea that love and nonviolence, such as the growing of flowers, was a better way to heal the world than continued focus on capitalism and wars. The photograph can be analyzed through the elements of image as defined by ‘The Little Brown Handbook’ on page 86. There are a total of nine elements that contribute to the communicative quality of an image. The message that this particular image tries to convey is the strong sense of way that conflict should be handled; by way of guns or by way of flowers. The ‘way of guns’ is violence and excessive force which heavily contradicts the ‘way of flowers’ which is a more peaceful and diplomatic way of handling conflict or disagreement. This photograph depicts these ideologies through its use of emphasis, narration,point of view, arrangement, color, characterization, context and tension.

    Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but

  • Example Of Visual Rhetoric

    Visual rhetoric is the ”persuasive power of images that shapes our impressions and understanding of events” (Ramage, et al. 57). It is tough to guide a reader’s mind into the circumstances that we expect to with simple words, so we need to use some techniques to attract audiences’ eyes. For instance, a strong thesis statement can surprise readers easily and even change their views of our subject, so it is necessary for us to imagine how the audiences would view the subject before reading our articles.

  • Reflective Essay: Rhetorical Analysis Of My Writing

    605 Words  | 2 Pages

    I wanted to include this piece as it is the first non-rhetorical analysis timed writing that I have written. This means that this was the first essay that I had to write in AP English without consulting any outside source (such as a poem or letter for which I would have to analyze rhetorical strategies), so my arguments were entirely based on my knowledge. This DCQ allowed me to display my raw argumentative skills. I included this essay also to look on my style of writing in the beginning of the year. I seemed to use passive voice in many of my sentences. Also, my diction appears underdeveloped in this essay, as I used “common” words (such as messed up, many, most) in place of more “educated” words. My transitions seemed sort of choppy as well. Overall, this piece was most representative of my writing ability at the beginning of the year.
