Mind Games
Writing with images can work well. Every day I see many different pictures, all most around campus. There are not many students that look at the picture and go through the rhetorically process. When I see a picture there are times I do the rhetorically process. I ask myself “What is this image trying to make me think?” All images are trying to persuade you to think a certain way. Another thing I learned in this chapter is cartoon pictures can go a long way. Most the time cartoons are funny, but they can have a powerful message to them. In this chapter I saw different cartoons dealing with certain issues. Each and everyone had a different message. Most of the cartoons were funny. At the same time they had a message that was important to America in some way. This is a great opening chapter in this book. It changed the way I look at writing and pictures now. There is always one question that every one should have in their mind. That question is “What is the writer or picture trying to make me think.” There is no way to escape this. Every time someone goes somewhere there is some form of persuasion.
