Visual Rhetoric helps a writer tell his story by using a picture which the reader can see and see the obvious in the picture or the objective view then we have the subjective view that the author can use to give the reader more information about the things that are not readily seen but the author wants us to know. In visual Rhetoric there are several ways to describe our picture and relate to the reader. We use pathos to pull at their
emotion, logos to connect with
a persons logic, and ethos
to describe the character. In this picture we are using a national gaze, this pulls at the readers sense of patriotism with things we associate with our country. There are several types of gazes, Familial Gazes, Consumer Gazes, National Gazes, Traveling Gazes, and Cultural Gazes.
I really like how you tied in Pathos, Logos, and Ethos into your blog! Your so right about the picture of the flag as being a national gaze. This gaze brings us as a country closer together, it unifies us. The other gazes can connect us all together as well.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to give feedback on something that needs work in your blogs, they are all very detailed and well written. The only thing I could really suggest is that on this one maybe you define the different types of gazes. You named them, but if I didn't already know what they all were, I might be a little bit curious.
