Scientists say earth has been around for millions of years, but some people disagree and say thousands. Either way the earth is built up of four basic elements, air, fire, earth, and water. Air being primarily wet and secondarily hot. Fire being primarily hot and secondarily dry. Earth being primarily dry and secondarily cold. Water being primarily cold and secondarily wet. When comparing or contrasting these four elements they can not be one, without the other. They all intertwine with one another, yet the forms of the elements are so different. Compare and contrast helps us to figure out the similiarities and differences of an object, topic, ideas, or analogies.
The commerical that comes out late at night with the battered, sheltered animals and the Sarah McLaughlin song, "In The Arms of an Angel," playing in the background. The music and images put together are heartbreaking for the viewer. The idea behind the message is getting the viewer to donate money for the cause of battered pets. The message is a harsh, cold reality and the organization places that upon the viewers in hopes to promote awareness of abused pets and raising money to fund the organization. Therefore, the images are used to persuade and intrigue the viewers. Visual rhetoric proves to assist compare and contrast in the writing process tremendously.
