1 What is Power and How Do You Define it? Maggie Mylett

2 In Memory - Trace O Text: This document is a picture displaying the 10 th memorial of the tragedy that occurred on 9/11. Two lights are shining vertically in the skyline to represent the Twin Towers and what happened that day. It is a unique picture because of how it is emotionally captivating and appealing to the eye. O Reader: The audience for this image is all Americans and individuals that lost loved ones that day. I am obviously a part of the intended audience because I am an American citizen and I can remember exactly what I was doing when the towers were destroyed. O Author: The individual who captured this image is named Gary Hershorn. He is a Global Editor for Sports Pictures at Reuters. O Constraints: I do not think anything constraints the photographer because his picture is one that touches individuals all over America. With that being said, I also do not believe there are any constraints or limits on the reader/audience for this picture. O Exigence: The cause of this photograph was because of what happened on September 11 th, 2001 when the World Trade Center was ambushed by terrorists and many people were killed and injured.

3 Boy and His Dog - Trace Piece –This picture is an image of a boy going through a monsoon to rescue his dog. It was taken in Manila, Philippines in the year of 2013. The picture is displaying mans love for dogs and goes to show that dogs really are mans best friend. Agent – The photographer of this image is Romeo Ranoco who has a blog on Reuters.com with some of images. He stays in the Philippines and captures many moments there for his photography collection. You can subscribe to his blog and contact him via email from there. Receiver – Who is the primary audience? No general audiences exist! Are you part of that intended audience? What kinds of beliefs do you as a receiver of the piece have that influence how you perceive it? Agenda – What bias is presented in the piece? How does it justify its position? Demands – What does the piece urge, if anything, and why? If the demands are met, what will happen? If not, what will happen? Inquiries – What do you want to know beyond the piece, especially questions you have? What does your intuition tell you about the source? Is it attempting to sway you with manipulation? What shows this? Gains – What did you gain from the piece that you did not already have? What did you gain from the piece that you did not already know? In what ways did the piece, or the sponsor, give or enhance you or your life by sharing the work? Motivators – What spurred the agent to create or sponsor the piece? What prompted finding it?

4 Defiance – Trace O Text: In this photograph, a young girl is holding what appears to be a cigarette. As it can be seen, there are two other figures in this text that are facing the other way compared to the young girl with the cigarette. It makes it seem that the little girl is defiant in several ways, such as many other stubborn kids as they go through the process of growing up. It is unique because it goes against the taboo that children should not smoke. O Reader: The intended audience would have to be society as a whole because the picture goes against social norms, which would include me as the audience because I am apart of society. I find it interesting that the author would go against this social norm seeing as how many people would not be fond of this picture. O Author: The photographer of the image is Sally Mann. She has received many awards, including NEA, NEH, and Guggenheim Foundation grants, and her work is held by major institutions internationally. She has also written a few books. O Constraints: She does a lot of controversial images that may or may not include her personal life and children and some people may not agree with her. I am limited because I do not know everything about Sally Mann. O Exigence: The reason Mann took this photo is because she is reflecting her own childhood through photographs of her children.
