      This border is not linear or hard... it has kind of an organic shape (No punn intended). It looks like a cornucopia. Also, the fuzzy edges makes it feel like the fruit and veggies have a halo. They look nummy.

      I have gone through the text and highlighted blue the points that I find appeal to my emotion in a negative manner (fear, anger or unhappiness). These points use pathos by appealing to negative emotions regarding any product that is not deemed organic.

      This is also the beginning of a number of facts that they use to back up some of their claims. I wish they had included references for some of these facts. It would provide more umph for their argument

      I'm not sure what they plan to do with this large empty space on the side... it seems unsettling in the design of the web page.

      I was wondering why the authors chose purple for their background. It doesn't seem very much like a back to earth kind of color. After doing a little research on the color purple it makes a little sense. Purple is associated with good judgement, peace of mind and people seeking spiritual fullfilment. Also, it has been associated with magic, mystery and royalty. I'm not certain but I would think people willing to pay extra for organic food would be trying to make a good judgement and spiritula fullfillment maybe?
  • In addition, irrigating large tracts of land is increasing soil salinity resulting in the decommissioning of farm land worldwide
    • Amy Simcox

      This is actually true. I didn't know until recently that overhead watering can increase salinity in soil. This happens because small particles in the water, such as salt, are concentrated when the water evaporates before it seeps into the ground. Again, I wish they had cited this fact.

      Their question is short and sweet and right up front for the reader to see immediately. I think that was well done.

      They have drawn attention to their main points nicely by making them bold and a larger font.

      The photo of the Family is an appeal to emotion. The firm is trying to make sure you realize the importance of making a will and how it will effect your family. ( especially your children)
  • The statutory division in the Act cannot be deviated from. None of your friends or other relatives could benefit from your estate, nor would it be possible for any of your estate to be bequeathed to charities. You have no choice regarding who administers the estate. The Administrator will be appointed by court order. While anyone can apply to do this, preference goes to next of kin (usually the spouse, then children, then parents). If no one applies to do so, the Official Administrator for British Columbia will perform the task. This often prolongs the process. Court ordered appointment of an Administrator usually increases the legal costs to your estate. If you have outstanding debts when you die, your creditors will have to agree to the appointment of your Administrator without bond. If any of them don't agree to this, the court may require your Administrator to post a bond to protect the estate's assets. If you don't have a will, you cannot designate guardians for your children who are under the age of 19. If you have children younger than 19 when you die, their share of your estate will be paid to the Public Guardian and Trustee. It will be administered by this office until they reach the age of 19. You won't have any control over how the monies are paid out for the benefit of your children. Requests can be made for funds before they reach 19, but it's up to the discretion of the Public Guardian. Typically all assets must be converted to cash. Family heirlooms may not stay within your family. These heirlooms will be sold, and the proceeds distributed rather than passing down to your family members. The estate cannot be distributed until one year after your death. Some of your beneficiaries may experience financial hardship in the meantime, especially after payment of funeral expenses. You'll lose the opportunity to take advantage of any legal, tax or estate planning techniques that would have sped up the distribution of assets to your beneficiaries.

      In addition to the photo, much of the text in this section of the site is focused on how your family will be affected. However it also mentions what will happen to your estate and family possessions in the case of your death. Death is a scary thing for most people and therefore they do not want to talk about it, or even think about it. That is why it is important that the Lawyers involved attempt to sooth as many fears as possible for the clients especially regarding what will happen after they are gone and how a will, can make a difference.

  • Many hazardous chemicals can also be transported in our oceans, atmosphere and food chains and accumulate in places far away from their original source. They have been found to build up in the bodies of animals including birds, fish, whales, polar bears and even human breast milk. The problem and the solution are therefore not only a cause of local concern. This is a truly global issue.

      Again, this is aimed at readers who are far away from where this problem is occurring. It brings the issue close to home and hopefully motivates the reader to action

  • Of these brand owners, one group stood out in particular as the most likely champions of a toxic-free future - the world’s largest sports brands. Not only are these brands self-proclaimed leaders and innovators, but they have the size and influence to work with their suppliers to begin bringing about real change on the ground and eliminate the use and release of these hazardous chemicals.

      Greenpeace has gone to these companies' websites and selected quotes which express their commitment to environmentally friendly practices. This shows the hypocracy of these companies as they advertise green initiatives while they really do not know or control where their supplies come from.

      This photo and its caption have a lot of impact on the reader. The caption describes discoloured water which can be seen in the collector's sample bottle. Futhermore, the photo shows an odd yellow sludge/waste coming out for the pipe. In the background of the photo, you can see the turbid river water and smoggy air. What is particularily effective is the use of hyperbole. The odd looking sludge is the largest and central object in the photo, dwarfing the person standing next to it.

      Photo # 11 in the slide is particularily effective because the subject of the photo is covering his mouth and nose with his hand while looking down at the discoloured redish purple water coming out of the discharge pipe. When we read the caption, we find that he is doing this due to the terrible stench of the water. Both the caption and the subject's reaction in the photo make the experience more real for the reader as we can imagine the experience as if we were there.

      Greenpeace uses irony in the photo and its caption. We see settling ponds of water in a textile factory and learn in the caption that it is supposed to be treated. The irony is that this is for show was chemical analysis of water shows that the water is not treated
