This is a big issue because Wal-Mart is the main good-provider in the U.S. This movie poster effectively utilizes imagery by using pathos to portray Wal-Mart as the middle class destroyer. It is evident by looking at the poster that Wal-Mart corporations affect communities by placing a dark blanket over them, which suffocates citizens economically. The effectiveness of the poster relies solely on the use of imagery by…

After reading Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me I firmly believe there are many positives and negatives that both challenge and support the Dexter Southfield mission of “Our Best Today, Better Tomorrow”. The challenging factors this book offers include whether Dexter Southfield celebrates is diversity enough and if Dexter Southfield students are able to achieve our mission through focusing their time on what interests them.

Ever since the atomic bomb was built, it changed the way wars were fought. Albert Einstein wrote to President Roosevelt asking for an atomic research program, Roosevelt agreed to move…

Building a weapon of mass destruction like this can only cause hate, destruction, and even more fear.…
