Imagine you are reading a newspaper article about a proposal from a local gardening club that is attempting to persuade readers
to vote for a community fundraiser in order to build a neighborhood garden. The garden would require that the community raises $3,000. What types of images would the authors include in order to match their purpose and audience? Why?
Images that show the benefits of having a community garden. As an example, they may be pictures showing how vegetables planted in community gardens have a much lower pesticide residue than vegetables sold on the market. You can also have pictures that show how gardening activities are pleasurable, promote socialization, contact with nature and well-being.
Images to be included should be ones that appeal to a sense of community. Images of people having fun gardening, and pleasing shots of the area to be turned into a garden would work well.
The purpose was to persuade.The language contains an example of metaphor.Paine speaks directly to his audience.Paine’s rhetoric persuaded colonists to support independence to prevent future oppression.
Ruth explains to Mr. Thorpe that he is now in homesteading country and people in there take care of themselves, so they are not willing to accept his help or change their ways. She stays firm to her convictions and explains this to him in a respectful way.
