Walk for Life Picture

This picture is from a Pregnancy Care Center Walk For Life. I think it might be referring to abortion. It is a powerful picture because of the contrast that is present. To see the image of an elderly person next to a little baby instantly catches attention I think. It also shows the audience the potential of such a young person to live. I think that in this way it is trying to persuade the audience, or at leaat touch them, with the meaning of life. Yet most people in this audience probably already agree with the importance of life and so this just backs up that passion.

One way in which this touches people is that it shows someone who could be like the viewer's grandfather with a baby that might be their child or niece. This makes it so more personal and the viewer can imagine their own family pictures. The photograh just lifts you up and just reaches out to humans and our wonderul relationships. There is the 'grandpa' with his apron on which just makes the picture so real and can make the audience imagine a family or community barbeque. Bringing together the young with all their life ahead of them and then the older and wiser. It just makes me think of a hallmark card or something. :) It is so simple, but it touches the pathos of the viewer and also the logos because it shows the potential of life which supports anti-abortion views.
