Break the silence. Stop theviolence BY: Hannah Vernon
History of Domestic Violence • In the United States, Public Awareness of the Domestic Abuse problem became well known during the women’s movement of the 1970s. Abusers are known to take their own insecurities out on the people in their homes. In 1974 the first shelters for domestic violence victims were formed. Today law enforcements are much more strict when it comes to domestic violence. (suit 101. Peter Moser. 23. Aug. 2007. http://suite101.com/article/the-history-of-domestic-violence-a29542.)
The first thing that I noticed was the persons eye. It appears to be swollen and bloody as if the person has been hit. I also noticed how the lips and mouth are black and almost non existent. This could represent being silent about the violence. What stands out in this picture?
Black is the most used color in the picture. This could represent the darkness of violence and how appalling it is. What color is used the most?
The purpose of this picture is to raise awareness to domestic violence and try to bring a stop to it. What do you think is the purpose of this picture?
The audience would be anyone who is associated with domestic violence or may know of someone else who is. Who is the audience?
Credibility is established because in the bottom right corner you can see that the futures without violence program sponsors this picture. This is a program that is a family violence prevention fund. How is ethos used?
Logical appeal is used because it is logical that you shouldn’t be violent with people. How is logos used?
Emotional appeal is used because in the picture you see a beaten person and this usually brings sympathy to people. You may feel bad for the person because you can see had badly this person has been hurt. How is pathos used?
