Assignment # 11

For my essay the rhetorical modes i am going to use are Description, Narration, and Exemplification.


Description: i am going to provide many visual details which help the reader understand the lost feeling i am talking about in my essay.
Narration: I am going to use narration with Description together so my story is more descriptive and goes in much detail, I feel like these two modes will be the best for me and how i write and it will help me explain the lost feeling throughout my essay.
Exemplification: i am going to use example all throughout my essay to explain my points and feeling s to the reader. Examples help me expand my thoughts when i write and it makes the essay more interesting to read then boring because you can get the main concepts by paying attention to the examples. 

Assignment # 10

What does it mean to lose someone?

When i think of loosing i just think of my Grandparents because they are no longer with us because we lost them due to their deaths. Personally i am not  a big fan of the word lost, because its negative in every way its used. Lose someone can be best defined as just someone who was there who was very significant to you and is not there anymore for example deaths, relationships.

Assignment # 9

.5.        “You were the wind and I the sea.” (From “After Love” by Sara Teasdale

I choose this metaphor because the author is comparing the sea and wind to describe the relationship between men and women, one can not be one without the other. Without no wind there is no wave in the sea. Without Waves the sea is just a lifeless body of water. His hidden message in this quote is clearly talking about teamwork and how people cooperate. He might also be talking about his past relation ship because how deeply he was affected by it and is trying to say how good they were together.

Assignment # 6- profile: Eliza Grace, The Mohave, and Me

I read the profile essay" Eliza Grace, The Mohave, and Me"  by Guy Martin. This essay is a describing death valley and how it feels in a lot of details by the author. Guy martin gives many vivid details throughout the entire essay. The author uses this technique very well and goes in very specific detail which makes the reader feel like he is there with him. He also gives very good information and goes in depth. For example when he is talking about snakes , he even talks bout in depth how poisonous they are and also gives a good comparison of them. This essay was very interesting and the author had me hooked throughout the whole essay. His vivid details made the essay  easy for me to understand. I think i am going to use a lot of vivid images in my next essay because it makes it easier for the reader to know what i am going to be talking about.

assignment 5, my thesis, any feedback would help:)

essay 1

A View of the Other Side

The grass is always greener on the other side.  Many hear this cliché, but do we ever truly see this as an image presented before us.  How do we put an image to a concept that seems to be saying that we can always have something better?  After viewing pictures by Rhea Garen and Joel Meyerowitz of the J. Paul Getty Museum exhibit Where We Live: Photographs of America from the Berman Collection and a picture from Clairibel Ruiz's blog, it is clear that we can put an image to the ever present cliché.  These images seem to reveal to their viewers more about the photographer's experiences and wishes, than simply providing a beautiful image.  For this reason, one can better appreciate the artistic details of the photographs.  These three photographers' provide images that have similar ways of revealing their experiences and wishes, but they each have a unique “other side" Which makes them extraordinary.

Assignment 4 Kracauer's "Photography,

Kracauer's "Photography,

"Ghosts are simultaneously comic and terrifying. Laughter is not the only response provoked by antiquated photography. It represents what is utterly past and yet this refuse was once the present. Grandmother was once a person and to this person belonged the chignon and the corset as well as the High Renaissance chair with its turned pillars, a ballast that did not weigh her down but was just carried along as a matter of fact. Now the image wanders ghostlike through the present like the lady of the haunted castle."

my response: I  think this quote was very interesting because I can relate to it in many ways. Ghosts are very terrifying to me but many do think they are funny or they don’t exist. This quote explains how a image of a ghostlike can make you think of a haunted house with a old lady in it. It just a view people have in there minds. Ghosts are provoked like in  a background of a image and it can be scary or be funny to many. It depends on the person and how they view ghosts. If I looked at picture of a ghost I l be kind of nervous and scared but if one of my friends looked at a picture of a ghost they would probably laugh and think its funny. Many people like images with pictures of ghosts, myself I think its kind off weird but I prefer like white shadows then like a image of face on a ghost.

"Infants are of interest to mothers and young gentlemen are captivated by the legs of beautiful girls. Beautiful girls like to behold sports and stage celebrities standing on gangways of ocean liners when embarking on voyages to distant lands."

my response :-This quote interests me because I find it to be true.  I can relate to the part that states, " young gentlemen are captivated by the legs of beautiful girls" because myself along with other guys have often had our attention drawn to the legs of a beautiful girl.   Us guys blame them for not being able to focus that much during summer school. The last part of the quote reminds of when important people board a ship and turn around and wave.  They wave as if the whole world is watching them, but only a few people may witness it.

blog assignment number 3, the quotes..

 the rhetoric of the image

“we have seen that in the image properly speaking,  The distinction between literal message and the symbolic message is operational”

This quote from Rhetoric of the image interest me because it saying that an image can have a literal straight forward message which makes you think logically and images also have symbolic messages which make you think critically about what it can symbolize towards and individual or a group.  There is a big difference between literal and symbolic images but this quote says every image has both.

“After the linguistic message, then, we can see a second iconic message”

I found this quote very interesting because it’s talking about image which relates to a language but it has a iconic message. This confused me a little because I never thought of an image with an iconic message to give to its viewer. I see images which can inspire viewers but never heard of giving an iconic message to it viewers. To me an iconic message would be something that changes your life but I don’t think an image can change a life around
