Visual Rhetoric

First of all, I am not a crazy liberal who hates every move George Bush makes, but this picture brings up a discussion my 10th grade English teacher and my class had. The point of the discussion was "when the political leader dresses in military clothes, everyone should be scared." His examples extended from Hitler to Saddam Hussein. I'm not saying that we should put Bush in that category, but image has always reminded me of that discussion.

Unicef Photo Essays

Instead of just choosing one photo essay I chose this page. Watching these essays does seem alot like those commercials that attempt to guilt you into giving money or "adopting" the children. I chose these essays because they are done by UNICEF which is completely nonprofit. The page even has a link to a bunch of other photo essays about issues that are prevelant in the third world, like AIDS, water, and immunization. These essays do a good job of showing issues that we need to know about.

Grammer Problems

Commas are really not that hard to understand, but at the same time using them can be pretty confusing. The hardest part is figuring out when to use a comma and when to just end the sentence. It's easy to use commas when there is a conjunction or when there's multiples of something. The problem arises when a sentence seems to end seemingly too early. Should I have used a comma between the previous two sentence. I don't know, and that's the problem.

A great page for all around comma use is http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_comma.html.
That is actually a website that I reference for my grammar needs and wants. I believe it's a reliable website because it appears to be designed officially for college students.
