MWP Paragraph

While watching President Obama's video called "Stronger Together" many visual aspects grabbed my attention. The first aspect that grabbed my attention was how many pictures of "average" women were flashed across the screen. These "average" women were captured in their workplace, their ethnicity all varied as well as the jobs. Obama's use of rhetoric, as well as his compassion behind the topic helped reinforce the impression that women's healthcare choices are important to him. By referring to the women as "mothers, sisters, daughters..." makes his speech more relatable for the female listeners. Since the video is short all visual aspects are important. His speech goes hand in hand with the pictures being empathized on the screen. However, more pictures would have been a little more helpful in getting the point across. Obama being shown giving the speech could have been a little less empathized since the speech is about women. The fact that the American Flag is in the background of the speech, reminds viewers this is America, land of the free. The pictures of the women are focused on them while the background is blurry. By blurring the background it empathizes the women's' role in everyday life.  Women are the key points in all of the pictures, which shows that women are important in everyday life helping make things run smoothly. By showing a mother, sister, daughter, wife etc. the pictures pull the heartstrings of the viewers because we all have a woman that is important to us. The pictures also show all the hard work women put into work/life. Soon the words "President Obama is committed to protecting a woman's right to choose" appears on the screen to target women. By using "Committed" as a key word to the phrase, it shows women his undying support for their right to choose and not their employers. The main argument is that women have the right to make their own decision. Together with Obama, as women we will be moving forward. This speech has a very credible source: President Obama. PResident Obama uses pathos in a strategic way by suggesting that women can make their own decisions. By using the terms "wives, sisters, daughters, moms" it hits home for all Americans. Women are half of this country/workforce evoke the emotion of dependability.
