3. Who is the audience of this image? Does knowing the title of this image change the audience as compared to if you didn’t know the title?

4. At first look one might think the audience is those who live in this area, or those who live in violence stricken countries similar to this. After knowing the title Belief the audience may change to those who don’t live in countries like this where there is peace. And the this is a sense of proof of how violent life is in some countries and how lucky other countries truly are.

5. How does absence of words change this pictures meaning? Do you think by adding a caption it would weaken or strengthen the image? (Think about this, no one answer is correct)

6. What is the point of view of this image?

7. In this photo we see violence at its greatest. But we see the violence started by those we think of as protectors. A riot has broken out, and a task force is using forces against defenseless group of Jews. You see this in the fear of those covering their faces and the raised action of the white batons. The photographer Dvir is of Israeli descent, so this photo is one of daily life in the middle east especially in Israel during this time.

8. What characteristics makes this image stand out and draw the audiences' eye?

9. Lighting: the lighting is natural, with the sun radiating through think smoke and clouds creating what is like a beam of light to the middle of the image. Color: all of the colors present are neutral colors except for a few blues, greens and the yellow- orange of the fire in the back ground that draws the eye. Point of View: the point of view is third person, with a first person perspective. Dvir is positioned in the area as if a first person image but photographs the details as if this was a third person photograph gathering a lot of details.

10. How does this image appeal to Pathos?

11. The use of pathos is used to create an emotional response from the audience. This comes in the fear, violence and destruction present in the image. We come to feel sorry for those involved and even mad for those who are at fault.

12. How does Logos appeal to this image?

13. This image doesn’t necessarily appeal to logos, this is simply a snap shot of life. The photographer was just in the right spot at the right time.

14. How does this image appeal to ethos.

15. This image appeals to ethos is multiple ways. The photographer himself is widely know, and the fact this is in his home nation it give the image credibility. Also the image itself is of real life, this is supported by the violence we see in the news and in the paper in the same area.
