2. Visual Rhetoric project on she’s got your eyes
By Benjamin Estes

3. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS IMAGE?

4. Analysis
This picture depicts a baby with a television in one eye saying “She’s got your eyes.’ This statement alludes to how people watch to much television today and how this can be handed down from generation to generation, almost a trait that we will all soon posses.

5. Who’s the intended audience?

6. audience
Personally, I think the intended audience for this piece of visual rhetoric is for our current generation. By this I mean that our parents raised us, while they raised us we ALL watched television. Now, its our generations job specifically to help reduce the amount of television our children watch.

7. What is the ethos/ethical side of this image?

8. ethos
Our parents I would not consider to be bad for letting us watch television, but it would be their responsibility to make us engage and be more active than to watch television. So some people would not agree with some parents just letting their children watch television all day. So ethically you could have different view points on where this stands at on ethos.

9. What is the logical appeal?

10. logos
The logical appeal to this image is that logically people naturally watch television almost everyone does. So it would be logical to think that if we are brought up only watching television 24/7 that their children would grow up to teach or let their children do the same thing. It is our natural instinct to follow our role models such as your family, so in turn their children would do the same because as they say “Like Father, Like Son.”

11. What is the pathos in this image?

12. pathos
This particular image tears at your heart “strings” so to speak by the image saying “She’s got your eyes.” This would cause emotions to set in because no one would think of a poor baby child to have a television for an eye instead of an actual eye. It is also reflective of the parents as well because if the child has got their parents eyes then you can assume that this shows that the parents watch too much television that it has affected quite possibly their one and only child.
