MIP 1: This meme connects to the book because the the government uses what they cherish most to sway who they vote for and they use the voters love of TV to make them vote for who is “right”. SIP 1:The government teaches the people to vote based on looks so that they can keep the same people or similar people in power. STEWE 1: In the book we see that the voters often vote for the better looking candidate. We see that a the better looking the more they will be voted for. "’I voted last election, same as everyone, and I laid it on the line for President Noble. I think he 's one of the nicest-looking men who ever became president.’ ‘Oh, but the man they ran against him!’” (93). STEWE 2: We also see that the government puts a less attractive candidate …show more content…
Kind of small and homely and he didn 't shave too close or comb his hair very well.’ ‘What possessed the 'Outs ' to run him? You just don 't go running a little short man like that against a tall man. Besides -he mumbled. Half the time I couldn 't hear a word he said. And the words I did hear I didn 't understand!’ ‘Fat, too, and didn 't dress to hide it.’” (93).

MIP 2: The meme uses slippery slope as a logical fallacy and pathos as a mode of persuasion.

SIP 2: Pathos is clearly being used to bring an emotional appeal from the voters. STEWE 1: Pathos is when the person is trying to get emotions as a way to persuade the person. CS: Overall, Slippery Slope and Pathos are being used here to create emotional appeal and to show a ridiculous outcome but explained in a way that
