Compose a rhetorical analysis of some image; the composition should argue for a particular interpretation of the image.
Select an image from the array of images
Consider the following elements of your image:
The rhetorical situation of the image, including the author, audience, purpose, context, tone, genre, design, constraints, and exigence
The rhetorical strategies, or how the image is composed to produce a specific effect (use of color, layout, contrast, etc.)
The rhetorical appeals (ethos/pathos/logos), or ways the image seeks to engage its audience
Compose a thesis that argues your interpretation (i.e. a particular way of viewing the image) based on the choices made in its construction. See the Introduction to Visual Analysis page and PowerPoint posted in the current module.
Support your thesis by describing AND analyzing various elements of your image (see #2 above) that support your overall argument about the image.
Conclude by reinforcing the key points and highlighting why the conversation is important in contemporary society.
