The beginning of Mariam’s marriage to Rasheed seems to promise happiness. What are signs that this may be short lived?
How does Rasheed feel about the westernization of Afghanistan? What shows his ambivalence?
What are Rasheed’s reasons for making Mariam wear a burqa and what do they tell us about his ideas about his role as a husband and man and his expectations for Mariam?
Mariam learns some of her husband’s history when she looks inside the drawers in his room. Why does she rationalize about what she sees?
Why does Rasheed want a boy? How might life have been different for the family if Mariam could have had a baby?
Why does Rasheed become abusive?

5. The Visual Argument
Remember rhetorical appeals (from warm-up) to ethos (credibility), logos (logic) and pathos (emotion)?
Authors can influence audiences by using images or visual elements as powerful support for their arguments. 
Visual rhetoric is a term used to describe images that make or support an argument. Visual rhetoric may also include the use of text features, such as fonts and white space, or graphics, such as illustrations, charts, and cartoons. 
Reflect on our last photograph. What rhetorical appeals does it make?

What is a Photo Essay?
An essay is an interpretive or analytical composition that reveals the author’s perspective on a subject.
A photo essay reveals the author’s perspective on the subject through a collection of photographic images. Just as the words and sentences in a written essay are placed in a specific order, the images in a photo essay are placed in a specific way to express ideas, convey emotions, and show a progression of thoughts or events.

8. Reading a Photo Essay
Consider the photographic terms we learned last week and also,
focus on the following items as you “read” and analyze the photo essay:
title
sequence of images
content of photographs
captions
purpose
target audience
issue and position
Also, consider the rhetoric used in the essay.
