The Power of an Image



This emotional argument combines the use of a visual and verbal claim. Showing an adorable and cheerful little girl, this shows the joy that adoption can bring to a child rather than a parent. In this way, the child strengthens the argument by encouraging its viewers to think of the child's happiness rather than their own. Generating a loving empathy, this image is powerful enough for the reader to consider adoption and yet not so shocking that the viewer must do so. It is especially persuasive because it does not use shock value to promote adoption, and yet it gently reminds observers of the power of adoption for a child.
