Reading images “Mine” any accompanying info for background: when, where, and under what circumstances was the image created? ► Mine the image for cues: ► Time frame (e.g. clothing styles) ► Societal role of subject/s (e.g. military, social class) ► Locale (e.g. grave stones for a cemetery) ► Action context—what happened to create the scene, what is happening, what will probably happen?

San Francisco, Calif., Mar A large sign reading "I am an American" placed in the window of a store, at 13th and Franklin streets, on December 8, the day after Pearl Harbor.

► What is implied about a particular topic or topics? ► Persuasive/ rhetorical techniques: pathos, logos, ethos

Juxtaposition: an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, esp. for comparison or contrast.

Irony ► Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant. Three kinds of irony: 1. verbal irony is when an author says one thing and means something else. 2. dramatic irony is when an audience perceives something that a character in the literature does not know. 3. irony of situation is a discrepancy between the expected result and actual results.

Repetition ► whether it's words or images — reinforces your message, provides consistency, and creates familiarity.

Denotation ► Identification and definition of elements of a text on a basic, dictionary level - this thing is red, it is a bicycle. ► Denotational readings will be common to a large number of people - the audience of a text will all identify the object as a red bicycle (if they know what a bicycle is...)

Connotation ► Connotation begins when you link an object with other signs and meanings - the bicycle might belong to a teenager and therefore suggest adolescence. It is red, therefore it is bright and eye-catching and might therefore connote that its owner is an extrovert. If you once fell off a bicycle yourself and smashed your leg up then you may associate this bicycle with negativity and pain. ► Connotations are numerous, and vary from reader to reader.

Brown vs. Board of Education 1954

In 1956, Georgia adopted a new state flag that, like Mississippi's, incorporated the Confederate battle flag in its design. Although some claim the new flag was adopted in anticipation of the Confederate Centennial in the 1960s, this argument was largely dismissed as disingenuous. In fact, the very sponsor of 1956 flag, former Georgia House floor speaker Denmark Groover, openly admitted forty-five years later that defiance of segregation was the motivating force behind the new flag, not historical sentiment. The flag, introduced two years after Brown v. Board of Education (1954), represented the Georgia legislature's protest against forced integration.
