Reading assignment number three is important because of the rapid growth in technology. The reading assignment touches on the subject of using visual imagery and learning how to properly analyze what we have seen. Analyzed properly a picture can tell the viewer many things. Visual imagery is becoming a more progressive.
Logos is the primary rhetoric in this visual with a tremendous of data and graphs presented to the audience. The bar graphs can be easily interpreted without looking at the specific numbers, but there is a scale available at the bottom for readers who seek the specific numbers. Pathos is conveyed through color schemes, font, and the design of the visual. The color scheme used is dark red, with a grey background and black texts appeals to the pathos of the viewers. The font use is not conventional, and gives a grotesque and unsettling feeling for the viewer.
The two men fighting could resemble the coliseum we have in Los Angeles and the horse could represent the origin of the car before there were cars to begin with. The iron seems to be like a spaceship over the sky, and there's also the stamp of Los Angeles on the top right side of the mural. Frank Romero's opinion on cars is that people love their driving around in their cars. Based off the image we can
The memoir begins with Frank, the author and narrator, looking back at the choice his parents made with regret. He believes they should never leave New York . He describes the way his parents met and how they now have five children. Their little sister Margaret dies and affects Frank’s parents extremely. With both parents neglecting the four other children, the friends and few relatives of the McCourts decide that they should return to their original country for the best.
In Frank Romero’s mural “Going to the Olympics,1984” he captures the audience attention by painting a mural on a highway wall with powerful symbols that represent the community and the artist itself. Romero includes symbols such as hearts, palm trees, cars, a blimp, flying iron, post stamps, a horse, and two man wrestling. Each of these symbols have a purpose have a significant meaning such that they are valuable to the community and Romero himself. The cars and hearts represent the love we have for cars in LA since many la residents use this as transportation to get to one around for others this can have a different meaning. The flying iron presented in the the top left represents a special honor to Buster Crabbe an olympices that later
In summary, on 09/25/15 at 0159 hours I was patrolling the area of 1800 S. 59th Ct., when I observed a vehicle (02 ' Pontiac IL V707523) traveling southbound at a higher rate of speed than the posted speed limit (20mph). I paced the vehicle at 35mph for approximately for two (2) blocks (1900-2100 59th Ct.). The vehicle had an obstructed front windshield. I made contact with the driver at which time I requested a driver 's license and insurance for the vehicle. The driver was unable to provide any form of identification, but was able to provide insurance.
These are some hints of imagery in the
Another example of this symbolism is the car that Mr. Shiftlet fantasizes about owning. The car itself represents the ability to leave a good life with decent people, and O’Conner reveals its symbolism by making it the tool that Shiftlet uses to leave behind his potentially good life. When O’Conner says about Shiftlet on page 865, “He had always wanted an automobile but he had never been able to afford one before. He drove very fast because he wanted to make Mobile by nightfall,” she is pointing out the fact that Shiftlet is using the Craters in order to get the car, which is a symbol for missing good, holy opportunities. Additionally, the courthouse in which Shiftlet and Lucynell get married is, despite being intended to be a place of joining two people in loving matrimony, a symbol for
O’Connor uses symbols, characterization, and irony to reveal the search for meaning in this story. Throughout the story, O’Connor uses symbols such as the hitchhiker, the storm, and the old car in the shed as his personal search for meaning. When Shiftlet arrives on the farm the first thing he notices is the old car. “Given the gradually increasing interest he shows in money and Mrs. Crater’s automobile”(Encyclopedia.com).
The Aryan’s had blown up an auto restoration building that had been their for a very long time and was a big part of the neighborhood. This I felt was a major part that consisted of violence because the Aryan Nations were attacking ordinary people. I went into detail on three artifacts I felt represented the book Hate is my Neighbor. I felt that the boy turning into a giant was a good depiction of how underestimated the Aryan Nations were. The second image I chose was the burning cross, that I felt was the most touching image for me because the cross it showed that they hated everyone who tried to stop them.
The method of approach that I chose for this artifact is Cluster Criticism. As stated in Rhetorical Criticism:Exploration and Practice, Cluster Criticism is “the meanings that key symbols have for a rhetor are discovered by charting the symbols that cluster around those key symbolism an artifact.” A cluster analysis provides a survey or blueprint of the rhetor’s mind in which results in giving us insights into the meanings of key terms and thus a worldview of the rhetor, even the rhetor may not know. Generating a sense of comfort over the feelings of loss, regret, and guilt is a difficult task. My artifact of choice for this method is the song “Lucy” written by Christian rock band Skillet.
“I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.”, claims Albert Einstein. In the book The Pedestrian, Ray Bradbury gives an insight of what happens if technology gets too advanced. The main character Leonard Mead goes out for a walk and is considered crazy. Being called crazy for going for a walk is a perfect example of what Albert Einstein is trying to explain in his quote.
Symbols are all around us, even when we don’t realize it. If we see a pretty flower, a sunrise, or a pool most of us will think about happiness and fun. Likewise, if we see a cloudy sky, a dark forest, or a heavy rainstorm we tend to feel sad and dreary. Most of the time, we do not even realize that the feelings we experience are affected by symbols. When reading, symbols add a deeper meaning to a novel’s plot.
Album Covers The visual media form that I have chosen to use as my case study for this assignment is album covers/artwork. I chose this specific media form as I believe it has had a fascinating evolution throughout the years. Album covers have changed in numerous ways since they were first invented in 1910, they have gone from physical to digital in a relatively short period of time and both technology and society have played an influential role in the development of album covers. These factors continue to heavily impact the direction in which the evolution of album covers is headed.
Introduction Attention Getter ( Capture): Anyone walking down the street in a big city will see the bright, colorful, and illegal “eyesore.” Introduce the topic: Graffiti is illegal in many places but many larger cities also have “legal yards” where artists can paint without the fear of being arrested, like Freak Alley. But some people don’t like of any street art.
