1.

The most appealing is the visual argument on page 905 of the

tree made of hands. This is because the artwork is so well done
and the image is very powerful and easy to interpret. The least
appealing is the visual argument on page 904 because it is hard
to look at and does not use imagery very effectively.
2. The first poster connects different attributes of a person and
different ways we label people with the labels found on food
containers. The next one simply connects different phrases and
words that are connected with diversity to different symbols that
are the same symbols but each one is unique. The third poster
uses a quote with he words hands used very frequently with the
image of a tree made of hands. The fourth connects different
ways people can be indentified with the silhouette of a person as
if to say any given person can be labeled differently. The last has
a picture of a face made up with different racial features and
words that have to do with diversity written differently. The most
effective poster is the tree poster because it connects the words
and image in the most effective and clear way.
3. I think the most didactic is the poster on page 903 because it
compares labeling people to the way we categorize substances
that make up the food we eat and then label on the foods
container as if saying labeling people dehumanizes them to food.
I think the most vague posters are on page 905 and 904 because
they are less trying to teach a specific moral lesson but just
trying to promote diversity in general. I think both can be
effective depending on your audience but for people my age I
think didactic ones are most effective.
4. The poster on page 905 defines diversity as figuratively clasping
hands with our ancestors and our prosperity or future
generations and connecting and coming together with them. Or
more specifically since the poster was made for Western
Washington University as connecting previous students and
faculty as well as future students and faculty with current
students and faculty. The relationship between the text and
image is strong and straightforward. It is easy to interpret. The
poster on page 903 assumes diversity means not categorizing
people or possibly that all people are made up of different things
and experiences similar to different foods. The image conveys
this because it is of a food label and behind it there are different
colored food labels as if saying each persons labels is different.
