Picture Rhetoric

Sophia Fundora
This poster repurposes an animated squirrel character, Micco, that is used around campus and online to advertise and bring awareness to The Real Project. The Real Project is one of Florida State's alcohol abuse prevention programs. In this poster, the use of the animated character and punny headline make this poster effective in getting across the idea of drinking responsibly and avoiding driving under the influence.

    I agree that the use of this squirrel puts a spin on what would usually be a "don't drink and drive" poster. It draws in the audience by using a different approach.

Picture Rhetoric

This ticket is advertising an upcoming event that the sorority, Delta Gamma, is holding. It is rhetorically effective because it is colorful and completely delivers the idea that there will be a variety of different desserts at the event.

I think that the size is very effective for this advertising ticket. I also think it very well informs the public because it states the time the event will be held and the date, as well as the address.

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War- Sophia Fundora, Alison McGrath

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War Throughout the sixties, antiwar protests sprung up across America due to the United States' controversial involvement in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War Protests are marked as being some of the first major anti-war protests in the States. In today's society, there are various non-violent anti-war protests around the globe. These protests have made monumental differences around the world, as put by Julia Bacha, "The [Budrus] residents, after ten months of peaceful resistance, convinced the Israeli government to move the root of the barrier off their lands and to the green line, which is internationally recognized boundary between Israel and the Palestinian territories," (1). Though some may claim that the Vietnam protests had no effect and the only reason we pulled out of the war was due to how costly it was, this protest is pivotal in setting an example for future peaceful protestors throughout history.
