Consider the impact that Words & Images have on society

Words, images, advertisements, photography, and media engulf our lives. So, I pose these two questions when viewing my postings:

How do visual and verbal rhetoric affect society? How do they shape communities, people, and cultures?

Both visual and verbal rhetoric influence how people think, feel, and react to what they see or hear. No matter how small the intent, words, images, advertisements, photography, and the media have the power to change a community(s), a person(s), or culture(s).

SHOW & TELL A NARRATIVE


Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Washable Mascara

This zero clump volumizing mascara creates voluptuous volume with clean definition.
Sweep brush upwards from root to tip to separate individual lashes and to achieve definition and volume. Continue building lashes until you reach your desired look. Do not let dry between coats. Repeat for lower lash line. Removes easily with soap and water or Maybelline New York Expert Eyes Eye Makeup Remover Towelettes.

Maybelline’s Define-A-Lash Volume Washable Mascara’s narrative makes you feel like you have a wonder stick in your hand and you’re able to create those volumizing lashes you’ve always wanted. The narrative is written in active voice, which Constance Hale reminds us in Sin and Syntax, “Is strong, direct, muscular.” Reading the narrative we see the “rich images develop from the capacity to observe [the] subjects in action.”  It also uses strong dynamic verbs like, “sweep” rather than "apply" and “building” rather than plain ‘ol "put on".
