Have You Done Your Homework?

    It is obcious that this picture uses the appeal to emotion. First, the conversation takes place between two students, which is quite common in people's daily life; thererfore, the audience can easily get the idea what the creator wants to talk about. Second, the facial expressions of the student can also show the pathos. Before he knows there will be some homework and an exam, his facial expression is normal. However, after being told by another student, he becomes very shocked and panic. The exaggerated facial expressions easily strike a chord with readers who have met such situations before, especially students. Finally, when looking at the student's responses, people can find there are many exclaimation marks and question marks, which are quite emotional.

  2. The cartoon creates the powerful emotion appeal to the readers. The audiences are the students, teachers and parents. The appeals are attempting to earn audiences agreements by playing audiences' common experiences. It uses the exaggerate pictures to generate the feeling- fear in order to attract the audiences. The audiences will feel have the connections with the idea that the designer presents and the designer will gain the approval from the audiences- simple and effective!
