Bejing Games Photo Rhetorical Analysis

Observation: Soldier has a serious facial expression, fireworks are being shot from the birds nest, the inside of the birds nest is red, the night sky is without stars, the soldier is looking away from from the fireworks as if he is not even intersted in the games.

Inferences: The fireworks in the picture could be taken as missles. The dull red tone of the interior birds nest as well as the stern look of the officer's face gives the sense of a dark, raging, or warlike time. His non inclusiveness means perhaps that the government doesn't really care about the games in itself but moreso the image of the games in their country. The angle of the picture takes on the mind to see China as the nuclear super power that they are. The fireworks are added to serve as missles that they posses.

Ode to Pencil

Observing: Led pencil, black, low eraser, z-grip, .7 led,barcode still attached.

Inferring: The led pencil shows that I am a man of mobern technology. The retractable piece of led implies I know the true meaning of reuse. Everytime that I write, I show I care about the trees. An ecofriendly man that repects mother nature. Illustrating with my pencil that I am not nor do i feel that I am a perfect man. The worn an eroded eraser clearly proves that I make mistakes. I use nothing but the newest as well as fashionable things. The black lining that matches the silver barcode. I am an International man seeing that the pencil was made in China.
