Visual arguments?

Here's the pdf of the article:

and BLOG THIS:

Can images do what words do?  Are visual arguments possible?

Images can do what words do. It is true that a picture can be interpreted in a million ways, depending on the person interpreting it, but the same applies to words or how words are arranged. Visual arguments are definitely possible. An image can get across the point of an argument just as well as words can... sometimes even better. As J. Anthony Blair puts it, "A single visual image can probably be more powerful than a single verb assertion". A visual image makes the argument much clearer and sometimes easier to understand by more people, and in essence can be more powerful than words alone. Blair uses political cartoons as an example that images can make arguments, which is an excellent point. Even in grade school, students are often asked to state the point or argument of a certain political cartoon. This just shows images can be interpreted better by a more variety of people. Words describing a certain event, argument, or situation sometimes doesn't work as well as images do.

Meddy's video

Blog this:  Why does Meddy suggest this is relevant?  What is one rhetorical strategy used by the video's creators?

The video has much to do with the fact that our writing space is being changed. The change is so drastic and widespread that the newer generations won't necessarily be all that interested in print text; but rather electronic print and technology. The upcoming generations will also probably expect electronics rather than books thus possibly leading to the unpopularity of print text.

First thought

I keep thinking about my project 3, and I'm pretty sure my next rhetorical move will be...
to add more personal experiences and perhaps focus on one specific landmark in NYC as oppose to Manhattan as a whole. I think that by doing this my paper will become more informative as well as passionate and show more of a gray of two shades of gray feeling that I have towards that specific place. Focusing on one place will probably also reflect my feeling towards NYC as a whole and will thus make my paper stronger.
