Hey You!

 Hello everyone! This is my first full AP for my Rhetoric class. In this class, we've been going over rhetorical devices and how to use them, the rhetorical situation, and the three appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos. We were also lucky enough to visit Mr. Chambers, an affordable housing expert who taught us about why he does what he does. We also listened in to some of Chicago's alders one day and got to see what's it like in an actual meeting. With all of that background with us, we were then tasked with this project: create a poster for housing issues within our ward. Using the tools we learned throughout the unit, we were to create a flyer that uses them and could convince our audience to do something about housing. This is my poster, so I hope you find it interesting! 

"Hey You!', AR, 2022

So, this poster is supposed to raise awareness in the 46th ward about homelessness and why it's a huge problem. The first thing you'll notice is that it's split up into 3 sections. I did this to clearly show ethos, pathos and logos, though logos is spread throughout I feel. Pathos appears in the first section, as well as imagery. Ethos appears in the second section, as well as anaphora/repetition.
