My graphic text tells the story of my first year at camp. It discusses how nervous I was to go to camp but how at the end my camp session, it was one of the best things I had ever done. The theme of my graphic text is to not overthink things because they will always turn out well. In my graphic text, I communicated my theme using composition, proportion, line and contrast. I also communicated my theme using the sizing of my panels and the balloons. My graphic text has five panels. The first four are the same size, while the last one is twice the size. I decided to make the first four panels smaller than the last panel. I used the size of the panel to express the emotions I was feeling at that time.

They may worry too much about events that are coming up. It is also intended for people who worry over things that they cannot control. I appealed to my audience by relating myself to them. I told a story where I worried about something that turned out to be great in the end. An example is panel 5. Many people can relate to the moment when you are at an event and everyone know each other, but you do not know anyone. Since I have experienced this in real life, and I know others have too, I know that other people can relate. A lot of people worry about many different things in life. Whether it is a test they have to write, a grade that they are getting back, or even worried if they got the job. What I try to communicate in my graphic text is that there is a bright side to everything. In my case, I was nervous about going to camp but at the end of my time at camp, it had turned into one of my favorite places. I think that this is something that people should remember in their daily

    Frederick Douglass and His Use of Rhetorical Devices “The political character of one’s actions is inextricably bound to the political status of one’s subjectivity.” So says Frank B. Wilderson III, a writer focusing on critical and racial theory. For many authors, their message is heavily impacted not only by how they relate to the message, but through their style of writing itself. In Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, the author has an incredibly personal connection to the anecdotes presented and retells his feelings regarding subjectivity when he was under the chains of slavery. However, Frederick Douglass does not only rely on retelling past experiences to convey a message to his readers.…

But for me, it happened this past summer, when I made the very difficult decision that I would not return to Coleman Country Day Camp. To those who were not fortunate enough to have grown up at summer camp, this might not seem like such a big decision to make. But Coleman was my outlet, my second home for ten consecutive summers and spending those two months anywhere else seemed inconceivable to me.…

    They’re smooth and never require further attention. However, page 26 changes that by suddenly changing this form as Joey undergoes through the similar systematic cycle of colonial oppression of Aboriginal people as his older brother Peter Caver (LaBoucane-Benson 26). The author and illustrator choose to go out of the normalized and original lining styles of the boxed panels - suddenly changing the style of the panels with thick and sharp lines, that enhanced the visual hardships Joey is going through. The page not only visually stands out from previous pages but also brings the reader’s attention to the changes in the form of expression in each…
