FORMAT CHOICE #1 Some Version of The Rhetorical Précis[1]
Sentence #1: Name of author, [optional: a phrase describing the author], the genre and title of the work, a rhetorically accurate verb (such as "assert," "argue," "suggest," "imply," "claim,"), and a THAT clause containing the major assertion (thesis statement) of the work.
Sentence #2: An explanation of how the author develops and/or supports the thesis usually in chronological order.
Sentence #3: A statement of the author’s apparent purpose, followed by an "in order" phrase
Sentence #4: A description of the intended audience and/or the relationship the author establishes with the audience.
#1 Margaret Bourke-White, the pioneering female photojournalist, in her photograph “At the Time of the Louisville Flood” argues against the popular propaganda of the time that the American Dream was not being lived by all. #2 Bourke-White ironically contrasts the “World’s Highest Standard of Living” billboard with the destitute population standing in the foreground waiting on a bread line for relief from the devastation of flooding and poverty. #3 Her purpose is not only to juxtapose the blatant hypocrisy of the 1930s American media’s assertion that professed the “World’s Highest Standard of Living” but to awaken the readers of Life magazine to a deeper sensibility in order to change reality.
#4 She alters the perception of her readers/viewers who trust the magazine’s content, and the medium of photography itself, to portray truth.
PERSONAL COMMENTARY: This image never ceases to blow my mind. How can people just stand by and keep consuming “stuff” when other people are homeless? I can see the distance when it’s another country but our own country? Are there any photojournalists out there now showing us what is going on in our own country?
