Analyzing Visual Text for Argument and Ethos/Pathos/Logos

Here is a defense (that uses LOGOS) of the Boston Bomber Rolling stone cover (which we discussed as an example of PATHOS today in 6th period.) http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/explaining-the-rolling-stone-cover-by-a-boston-native-20130719


Chris Ware is a graphic novelist who often does covers for the New Yorker Magazine.  Examine this cover http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2012/09/cover-story-chris-wares-building-stories.html#slide_ss_0=1  and then his "sequel" a few months later, after the Newtown, Connecticut tragedy.  http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2013/01/chris-wares-newtown-inspired-cover-for-the-new-yorker.html

Examine the covers for the details that contribute to his purpose.  See if you can find ethos, logos or pathos in his presentation.

FOR CLASS DISCUSSION ON FRIDAY.
