      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

  • Organic farming methods improve soil health and prevent erosion. They aim to maintain long-term soil fertility, increased soil biological activity and ensure effective pest management

      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
      Amy Simcox on 09 Mar 11
       
      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.

      I would say that I demonstarte kindness and compassion to animals in rodeo, as my horse is used in rodeo and i treat him with the utmost respect. I cannot do what I love without that horse, and I know he likes his job.

  • It is called natural selection and back in 1859, Charles Darwin began to document that the preservation of the species was based on Natural Selection. This still holds true today. If it were not for the option for ranchers to sell these cattle to rodeo livestock producers, the alternative would be certain death. Natural selection of rodeo livestock started when rodeo started and has evolved to include semen sexing, embryo transfer and cloning!
  • Rodeo livestock lives better than most people; certainly their breeders and owners. Regular, premium feed, and even bottled water in some cases, help to preserve the animals by keeping them comfortable, hydrated and able to perform to their ability. For these and other reasons it is a fact that many bulls today are marked and sold for six figures! They are as valuable as a prized thoroughbred race horse yet one does not see the Kentucky Derby, Preakness or Belmont being limited or eliminated.

      "The first time, it's a vacation- after that, it's coming home." creates this idea that ranch is the place you will come 'home' and you will consistantly re-visit. The phrase 'coming home' has a positive connotation and tended to create a warm-fuzzy feeling within a person.

    Sundance guest ranch does an awesome job with making a 'city folk' feel like they can buy a 'weekend pass' of the cowboy lifestyle. The main photo has the cowboy standing in an authentic way as he and his horse looks onto the ranch. This is a photo that you may see in a western painting. The text constantly refers back to the ranch as being 'home' which has a very positive connotation for many people.

The Morgan Horse - 2 views

      the first paragraph of this site tells a little about the Morgan horse. It also discribes the horse, making it sound like a well built horse, that can be used for any riding type. Finally they end the first paragraph, telling us that once you have one Morgan you would most likely like another.
    • eliza ediger
      eliza ediger on 02 Mar 12
       
      This paragraph appeals to character, since the first morgan horse was so willing and strong the Morgan today should carry some of the originals personality.
  • A short broad head, small sharp ears, a long laid-back shoulder, deep body and straight, clean-boned legs, make the Morgan the choice of both casual rider and the earnest professional. Once you have owned one Morgan, you will want another.

    • eliza ediger
      eliza ediger on 02 Mar 12
       
      This appeals to logic beacause if some one is buying a morgan horse to breed or show, they would want a "well-bred" horse. And this site is saying that the horses bred in Alberta are sold in Canada and the United States. So if you want a horses they say you could get a good one from Alberta.
    • eliza ediger
      eliza ediger on 02 Mar 12
       
      All the pictures of the morgan horse doing different disciplines, shows and pleasure riding shows how the horse is verstatile. These pictures appeal to emotion because the rider who gets a morgan could use them for anything. And logic because they may want a hore that is willing to do whatever discipline they want to pursue.

      This page has a great visual layout. The colour schemes go well and it is easy to direct your way around the site. The success story candidates all have their names underneath their photos, when you drag the mouse over the name is changes colour to red and to number or pounds lost. It is then easy to click on the name and see more pictures of the model. One criticism is that some of the before and after pictures don't look like the same person. This takes credibility away from Hydroxycut as the potential consumer may feel like they're being lied to.

  • Many hazardous chemicals can also be transported in our oceans, atmosphere and food chains and accumulate in places far away from their original source.

      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

      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.

      This site caught my attention immediately. It looked soothing, it is easy to read and it deals with a delicate subject that affects many people. I think the colors of the page accomplished what it probably set out to do, which was create calm. Let's not forget, we are dealing with depression. This subject means something to me as I suffer from it on occasion. I can associate with this personally. The subject is not so much a controversial one, however, those who don't suffer from depression have been known to say, "Get over it!", which can be a negative experience for one in the throws of depression. I think the writers' purpose here it to inform and explain the symptoms of the disease as experienced by those it affects. I believe it also provides a forum for those who simply want to explain where they are at in their depression and to encourage others to understand that this is real and it affects many. It also serves more than one purpose as it provides suggestions on how to deal with it.The thesis, or the overall main point is basically to let the disease speak for itself and allow others to comment on the subjectThe tone of the text is relaxed and does not create feelings of unrest. It provides answers and links to all issues surrounding the subject of depression. I really liked the graphics of what appears to be grass. I imagine laying down in it and breathing in the fresh air. I also took a shine to the dandelions on the right side and I specifically liked the "I'm done hiding" at the top of the page. Many people hide the depression as they are embarrassed.  The highlighted areas are stand out texts for me.

      Logos is achieved as the words are logical. Pathos is achieved as it appeals to my emotions because I have first hand knowledge of this sickness called depression. Ethos is achieved because I trust and believe the written word.

      What I like about these 2 highlighted texts is that it appeals to ethos because I experienced these two statements. Ethos was achieved by what it says.
  • I hid my battle
  • Mountain Biking and Depression
    • Kimberly McCoy
      Kimberly McCoy on 12 Jul 11
       
      This line appeals to my Pethos as I consider it emotional to have "Mountain Biking" and "Depression" in the same sentences. It affects my emotions by making me think.
  • I'm Drowning
    • Kimberly McCoy
      Kimberly McCoy on 16 Jul 11
       
      Again, ethos and Pathos is achieved because I know how it feels to feel this way.

      Again, this affects me by Pethos as it brings memories that are unpleasant.

      The simplicity of the page appeals to ethos, logos and pathos. It is carefree and uncluttered and feels like a safe place.

Challenge Nike and adidas to cut the chemicals and detox our water - 2 views

shared by Sabina Donnelly on 14 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • Who will rise to the challenge and champion a toxic-free future? During a recent investigation, Greenpeace identified several major international clothing brands, including the sports giants adidas and Nike, linked to facilities in China that are releasing toxic chemicals into our water. Unfortunately, these facilities are just the tip of the iceberg. Across many countries, hazardous  chemicals are being released into our precious waterways, poisoning our water and threatening people and wildlife.Like any

  • As much as 70 percent of China's rivers, lakes and reservoirs are affected by water pollution. During our recent investigations, Greenpeace identified links between a number of major clothing brands and textile factories in China that are releasing hazardous chemicals into our rivers.These chemicals are a serious threat to human health and the environment. Some are known hormone disruptors, whilst others can affect the reproductive system. Many of them don't break down in the environment, but instead build up in the bodies of animals and humans.

      Appeal to logic and emotion. By using these facts and statistics, Greenpeace is trying to engage the reader rationally and emotionally. As these chemical do not break down, we are now conscious of the fact that their presence is going to be a long term problem. Furthermore, Greenpeace states that these chemicals disrupt hormone function, making the situation more real and personal. Lastly, Greenpeace makes this issue hit home and persuades the reader to realize that this is not just an issue in China. Rather, across the ocean in North America, we too are affected by the use and release of these chemicals into water. The statement that these chemicals have been detected in polar bears makes the reader realize and question whether is it in our water as well

      The intended audience of this video is young and active and are most likely to purchase merchandise from sportswear companies. This video uses a lot of symbolism as adidas and nike logos are prominent throughout. Furthermore, these companies' symbols are found in close proximity and correlation with the Greenpeace detox logo (asian style character "x") symbolizing unit between these companies and chemical free/reduced use.
  • If Nike and adidas learn from any of their champion athletes and superstars, they will know that every setback, every mistake, every wrong decision provides an opportunity to come back stronger than ever before.

      "Lay down the challenge" tab. This interactive module allows the reader to vote for who they think will be the first to change their business practice and limit or stop the use of harmful chemicals. After voting the polls become visible. I believe that the intended audience is actually Nike and Adidas themselves. It becomes a motivating factor for these companies to change as the winner of the poll is motivated to not disappoint its voters and the loser motivated to prove otherwise
