In last night's reading, I read about how visual arguments can be made. The reading talked mostly about advertisements and how they capture peoples' attention. Visuals made with color for example, can appeal to emotion (the color red tends to draw people to it). Different types of visuals have different effects. In the book, the same argument was made in three different ways, one was textual, one had graphics, and one was a list. It showed how each one has strengths. The reading also described how pie charts and graphs are useful when making arguments. People like to look at them over normal text and they can keep a reader entertained.
For this project, this reading was very helpful. It showed lots of examples of things that we will probably be doing in our arguments about facebook.
