Comparing Two Images

Improved Essays
The purpose of any author is it reach their intended audience, no matter how powerful the message is it is worthless if it does not reach their desired target. Being able to grab and keep ahold of your audience’s attention can be difficult. Visual descriptions gives the audience a personal connection to hold on to. When an image is shown each person immediately tries to connect it to something in their own lives. Visual tools not only engage the audience, but helps them to understand more clearly what the message is that the author is sending. Comparing and contrasting is another tool that authors use to deliver their message to an audience. The process in which you list all the similarities and discuss why one is better than the other is compare and contrast. This tool helps the audience to decide for themselves why a specific path is right for them.

The first image gives a negative future where technology is used to produce as many goods and services as possible without much concern about the effects on the environment. While the other shows only the positive outlook of a future to come. By looking at the man in the middle it seems that he must make a choice between the left side, put money into factories with little care about the environment, or the right side, put money into green energy with a great deal of care about the environment. On the other hand, the second image has four photos that build upon each other. The first one is technology, second is nature, third is ideas, and the fourth is a possibility when you put all three together, green energy. In the first image your feelings are driving your choice, but in the second image it is the idea that it takes many industries or kinds of people coming and working together to solve the problems that will affect us, drives the choice to get

    The first image I will be analyzing is a cover of The Handmaid’s Tale, Bloomsbury Edition. The combination of white and rouge creates a simple contrast between the background and the content. This contract draws the reader’s attention to the title of the book. However, the slightly grey vines also distracts the reader’s eyes by leading them away from the text. I believe this design would work better if the vines were drawn in an even darker grey.…

Otherwise, the graphics are very pleasing and draw the eye to the key points Bechdel believes to be important. For example, all the time Bechdel is in therapy can be much easier understood by the use of graphics. By the use of graphics what would originally take multiple pages can be condensed into one easy to read page about past therapists and relationships. Not only that, but the graphics also give insight to how Bechdel perceives herself as well as the things around…

    In John Berger’s book Understanding a Photograph, he argues that there is a distinct discontinuity between an individual viewing a photo, and the actual photo. A picture solely preserves a single moment in time, and while they often act to tell a story, the medium cannot be fully interpreted without knowing the story that surrounds it.

I agree with Berger’s argument that photographs can shape the written story that is told about a single character through invoking various responses, emotions, feelings, and interpretations between the…

    The Dark Mountain Manifesto Rhetorical Analysis Environmentalist writing can take on many different forms; the Dark Mountain Manifesto is no one of those. If anything the Dark Mountain Manifesto is the complete opposite of environmentalist literature.

The heavy usage of rhetoric and alluding language makes it clear that the author does not want to immediately give away his argument but convince the readers through creative writing. His main argument challenges the concept of environmentalism, he claims that it is a delusion created by the myth of civilization and progress, and also consumerism.…
