Closing Statement

In my closing comments, I would like to mentioned how domestic violence has been around for many decades, but it has not been taken down due to fear. Many women are afraid or feel threatened if they speak up to programs or to police. To me, this is one of the hugest thing why domestic violence is still around, because nobody is speaking up to it. It is also affecting the household like the children. They begin to hide from the adult causing the violence and begin to lose focus of their needs. I was successful at getting all four pictures and analyzing the text and visual.

Rhetorical Analysis

Statement of Purpose and Design Plan

Statement of Purpose: My motivation in this rhetorical paper is to effectively describe every poster and explaining of domestic violence. I will present the poster, and give a description of the visual and then describe the text. I will make sure I analyze every poster and get into further detail of the visual, for example, the characters position. I will then explain how ethos, pathos, and logos show in the poster. What I hope on making my audiences feel is the need to speak out of yourself and do not let any men control you or hit you. I want to get the people to speak early before it is too late. Many symptoms might give you a hint on where someone is experience domestic violence. Audience: The audience I am trying to aim to is women mistreated by men. Nevertheless, also to the men who are committing domestic violence because not only are they affecting their relationship, but also the life of their child. I also want to reach to people who see domestic violence or know someone in life going through this situation. It is better to speak now before the situation goes worst. Context: The reason why I want to describe posters that represent domestic violence is that this topic has been talking about over the years. I understand that there are offenders in prison for domestic violence and the bad thing about that is that the child is facing the consequences. So perhaps, the child is in therapy for rehab for what he or she had seen. We all know that domestic violence occurs at a home, but most of the time it is when the male is intoxicated. He has no complete sense of what he is doing and it can get out of control. Design Plan Strategies: I will gather four posters that show the visual with domestic violence. I hope to get two with more visual and the rest with more text. I will then prove which poster effectively does a better job of showing rhetorical appeal to the audience. I will give a description of the image and the colors and fonts. I will include my introduction explaining domestic violence, and how I hope to get this point across. Ethos: I want the audience to see that we can speak early before the incidents gets out of control during domestic violence. Pathos: I want to show my audience how children are more affected by domestic violence than the mother. Logos: Prove how we can fix this and statistics of men in prison due to domestic violence. Medium: I will be writing a 5 paragraph paper of explaining domestic violence and explaining every picture in one paragraph and going into depth with it. Arrangement: One picture will have a paragraph explaining ethos pathos and logos and the description of it.

Closing Statement

Reflecting on my Design Plan, I succeeded on representing Chicago on my blog and talking about the crime that goes on. Perhaps, I could've explained more in my Logos and ethos section. I tried giving the audience the urge to be concerned about the topic of violence in our communities. I am pretty sure that everyone is concerned on safety of our children and knowing that they can be safe at the park. I hope I was able to persuade my audience with my point and they will actually help out the community. Calling the cops immediately if anything suspicious, making sure our playgrounds of our kids is clean and safe.

Narrative

About 3 years ago, I heard the most devastating news that affected the way I felt being around my neighborhood. One of my closest 14-year-old friends was brutally attacked with a sledgehammer and beaten down to death. He was huddled by a group of gangbangers as they mistakenly confused him for being part of another gang. When I heard this news, it affected my view on our society and the safety of the children in our community. The worst part is that they did not catch any evidence of who the suspects where because no camera was nearby. Gangs have controlled Hermosa, my community, for a couple of years now. If you take a walk around my neighborhood, you can immediately notice gang graffiti as vandalism or alcohol in streets. The children are able to notice as they walk to school all the different types of danger there is. We should not have any children near danger because it can affect their life. If we do not take care of this issue now, it will keep on growing until soldiers will guard our city. We, society, need to take action and make sure no violence is occurring to where it can affect our child’s education. My purpose is to gather all the community to foil any danger occurring in our streets. There are many ways that we can prevent danger such as having more police cameras around the neighborhood. Another way is having more police cars driving around or even in bicycles or in feet going through schools, parks, or stores making sure everything is going the right way. The last way is by having more security surrounding the school zone to prevent any crime. I really want to focus on this area of safety because many innocent teenagers are drying due to gang violence

Design Plan

Strategies: The way I want to portray my argument is in a fun way. I will be acting like an undercover FBI agent and taking pictures of evidence that will support my paper. My images are going to be describing the violence in our community such as Graffiti, gang violence, or alcohol usage. It is going to have the main dangers we see around us and the ways we can prevent it. I will also use ethos, pathos, and logos to catch my audience attention. For ethos-, my audience will be able to see that I care about the community and the children’s safety. They will also tell how I live in a bad neighborhood and how I grew up seeing a lot of crime in my neighborhood. I will show the ways that we can prevent danger from occurring and different types of dangers we see. For pathos-, I will be using pictures of alcohol being in the park to show how obnoxious it is to leave alcohol surrounded by children. I want to feel the need of being concern around there surroundings for their children. For Logos-, I will be explaining why it is important to have more police officers and POD’s. We always hear statistics of how Chicago has most crime committed. Medium: For my medium, I have decided to create my topic in a creative style. I will gather pictures explaining the violence I see in our communities. Then, I will gather pictures of ways we the society can prevent them. I will make sure I make my pictures stand out the most because I strongly believe that pictures tell us the meaning. I will also create a Power Point with the colors of blue to represent the colors of Chicago. I will also focus on the certain point of the images, so I will crop or zoom to focus on the object. My blog will also contain the Chicago flag in the background to represent where I was born and raised and how crime has exceeded. I will be using different font and size styles to focus on what would I be talking about. Arrangement: My power point will be about 10 slides containing types and ways to prevent violence. Each picture will have a small anecdote explaining the picture or background message of it. I will first start with explaining the danger I see around us and continue to talk about ways of fixing the community. Depending on the location of the picture, it will determine whether my goal is for you to read left to right or right to left.
