Analysis of an Advertisement against Abortion

Abortion is an issue that can go both ways and a topic that is very controversial. Is a fetus a human? Does its life matter? Or it wasn’t supposed to happen to me or I was raped. Many people can think of abortion as a good and bad thing, it just depends on what the person’s intuition about abortion is. I decided to go with the topic over abortion because I feel it is a broad topic and can go two ways as in being defensive or immortal. During this topic over abortion I will be including two articles, “A Defense of Abortion” and “Why Abortion Is Immoral”. These articles will explain the difference in how they think abortion can be taken. For instance, the first article will talk about why Judith argues why abortion is not too bad to be allowed

To begin with the analysis, we must look at the general shape of this piece of art is very 2D meaning its flat and it has some well-defined lines. As you look at it you can see that it is not balanced and not proportionate. The subjects are identifiable. There are three people in this piece of work along with a dog. As you look at it you can see a mother and her two children and their family dog. One child is sitting on the dog and the other girl is looking ar her sister while the mother watches them closely. You can clearly see a narrative being portrayed on the canvas because the two girls are looking at one another. The style is realism because their features are not over drawn to exaggerate a body part. The title relates to the piece of art because it’s a picture of a woman and her children. The message is conveyed very clearly and the style is very realistic looking.

Although books full of words are more efficient in delivering and describing what the author feels, sometimes pictures can give a deep meaning depending on how they are organized. The Veil by Marjane Satrapi’s is a graphic novel that’s organized in a particular way, to deliver a certain message through the pictures. Marjane includes different sizes and frames that serve what she is thinking and feeling. Choosing certain sizes, frames and colours isn’t arbitrary. As each box increases in size, it means that she wants to emphasize the message behind that box, or show her relation to that particular text. Contrast is also one of the main elements that Marjane uses in her graphic novel. For example, on page five, there is a big picture of

The concern of this piece of artwork is the importance of fertility to mankind. The artist was emphasizing the important fertility features woman have that lead to procreation and ensure mankind’s existence in the future. The emphasis on the breasts and pelvic region are related to what

There are many people with permanent disability’s that contribute to our society in very useful ways. In most cases, these people are viewed as being courageous. This kind of a reaction is typical but not always honest. There are a lot of people are uncomfortable around those that are considered “less than normal”. In her article The Abortion Debate No One Wants to Have, Patricia Bauer writes about Down’s syndrome and abortion. Bauer is a former reporter and bureau chief for the Washington Post.

When analyzing both the text and visual, the effects of both compliment each other, because the visual gives the viewer a perfect example of the text. In this particular case, the main focus is directed towards the visual side, since the written part is not much of a read and the picture takes predominantly most of the visual. It is important to point out that even if the visual is about the text, the image gives individuals an idea of who could be affected by the second smoke rather than creating your own image, given that the text does not specify any real situation in which the topic is presented, the picture is a set example. This helps get a deeper understanding of the subject, because if the viewer has no prior knowledge about smoking, the picture helps the viewer get a better idea of what it deals with. Without the visual, the text would still have some impact on the viewer, but not as

“People only see what they are prepared to see” is a famous quote by Ralph Waldo. This quote emphasises the fact that the purpose of a text can often be unnoticed and misinterpreted by the viewer. Many people only have a limited world experience, and it’s the Distinctly Visual feature of a text which allows the viewer to gain a better understanding. Distinctly Visual texts use a combination of techniques to create and shape an audience’s point of view or interpretation, and visualising a text requires the responder to interpret all of the images presented.

Someone once said,“Being pro choice doesn’t mean you would have an abortion. It just means you think the choice is yours, not the government's. In the New York Times editorial written on June 27, 2016, entitled, “ A Major Victory for Abortion Rights,” the writers are targeting young women can understand that the choice of abortion should be in the women's hands. This article is about keeping abortion legal in America, but primarily Texas. The writer's emotional appeals, word choices, and logic to successfully encourage the readers.

In her article, A Defense of Abortion, American moral philosopher and metaphysician Judith Jarvis Thomson uses analogies to explain scenarios in which abortion is morally permissible, even when the fetus is granted personhood at conception. She addresses the argument that every person has a right to life, the fetus is a person, and therefore the fetus has a right to life; and the mother has a right to choose what happens with her body, but the mother’s right to decide what happens is not as strong as a person’s right to life and therefore, abortion is morally impermissible. She believes this to be incorrect based on the definition of the right to life-which she defines as the right

Evaluation: I choose this article because it goes into details to describe why it’s unhealthy for teenage girls to start having kids when they are still teens. It shows what happen when young adults are not properly educated about sex. Therefore, teenage pregnancy is more common in less developed countries because they are not teaching kids how to properly protect themselves during sex. It tells us why it’s unhealthy for teenage girls to be having unprotected sex. And, also it shows us why teenagers are at a much have the rate of not serving labor than adults women are. I plan on using this article in my writing to inform my reader why it’s unhealthy for adolescents to be pregnant at such a young

Yet, it is your duty to look after your baby. As Kant suggests, if you

Abortion is a serious topic that people have been debating about for years. Everywhere you turn the topic of abortion presents itself, on TV, in the newspapers, in books and magazines. It already has, and will continue to cause, controversy for years to come. As long as abortion remains legal, pro-life advocates will continue to protest what they believe to be these horrible acts of murder.

Dramatistic/narrative criticism is one that is used to help others understand a certain text or even question the idea behind that text. The “I Had an Abortion” tee shirt is able to do just this because of the controversy behind the act of abortion. Its ability to reach a large audience ultimately helps raise awareness. This is because people—mainly those who are pro-choice and pro-life—will question it and publicize it in negative and positive ways. In, Rhetoric in Popular Culture by: Barry Brummett, the author explains this when he says, “D/N critics assume that people create and use texts so as to help them understand and formulate responses” (203). Meaning, that certain texts are created to help others understand and respond in a way that may or may not have been intended. For instance, while the creator and women who wear the tee shirt, hope for positive feedback that is not all that they will get. There will be a great deal of negative feedback as well, when it comes to this shirt. With that said, one who notices the words “I had an abortion” written across a tee shirt may either cause others to become outraged and angry, feel compassion and smile on the inside or even have mixed emotions causing them to question the tee shirt—why it was created and the massage that it intends to spread.

Teenage sexual activity has sparked an outcry within the nation. With such activity comes a high price. Studies have shown that there has been a significant rise in the number of children with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), emotional and psychological problems, and out-of-wedlock childbearing. Sex has always been discussed publically by the media, television shows, music and occasionally by parents and teachers in educational context. Teens hear them, and as the saying goes, “monkey see, monkey do”, they are tempted to experiment with it. Therefore, it is important for every teenager to be aware of the outcome associated with premature-sex. If students are educated about the impact of
