Images for Claims...Emotion or Fact?

For almost a year, images such as this one circulated vastly. You couldn’t pass a telephone poll or a store front with out seeing the majestic eagle and the scroll of “United We Stand.” The argument is a simple one; The people of the U.S. need to become united. And the emotions of this collage of images stands behind the patriotic ideal - if you support the Red, White, and Blue, you will pay attention to this message. This images evokes a range of emotions, as it should with the range of images. Pride, sadness, fear, regret, all are present due to the flag, military planes, Twin Towers attack, and the crying eagle that are presented in the collage. It persuades people through its suggestions that all Americans should stand behind this message of United People because they are Americans. Not to do so would be to deny the emotions present and the symbols represented in this image. The verbal claim is the same, just unite.
