Hello All,
For this blog, name the two photographs from the Where We Live exhibit that you will compare and contrast for your first essay.
Here are the links to the other readings:
Roland Barthes's "Rhetoric of the Image"
Siegfried Kracauer's "Photography"
Andre Bazin's "The Ontology of the Photographic Image"
Walter Benjamin's "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction"
Here is a link to a page with helpful definitions of photography terms.

3rd Post
Hello All,
This post will take you a little longer, so I'm going to give you until Friday afternoon to finish this one, and I'll post a description of your next essay on Saturday.
1. Read the file on "Using Quotes."
2. Read Susan Sontag's essay "The Image World." (Both of these files are posted on Blackboard)
3. Write a one-paragraph analysis of Dorothea Lange's 1936 photograph "Migrant Mother, Nipomo, California" in which you use your newly revised powers of description and three direct quotes from Sontag that help you explain what the photograph "means" and how we as an audience can and do relate to the image.
One quote must be introduced with an introductory phrase; one quote must be introduced with an independent clause and a colon; and phrases from one quote must be used in the context of your own syntax.

2nd Post
Hello All,
Now that we've finished the resume and cover letter, we will begin discussing and working on the academic analysis and the relevant aspects of effective writing. The first subject we will discuss is the use of rhetorical modes.
1. Read the file I sent via e-mail (and will post to Blackboard).
2. Explain the meaning behind one of the similes or metaphors.
3. Describe one of Joel Sternfeld's photographs from the Strangers Passing slideshow using both sense imagery and figurative description. Your description should be a solid paragraph of 5-10 sentences.

First Blog Post
Hello All, and welcome to the blog!
Your first assignment will be the resume and cover letter, so for this first post, all I want you to do is to describe the job/position that you will use for the resume/cover letter. In other words, what job are you applying for?
