The most appealing visual argument on pages 903-908 was the 1st one on page 903. I liked how it made it look like a nutrition label. I can relate it to every day life. I thought it was very clever how they set up that poster. The least appealing of those posters was the 2nd on on page 904. It did not have much structure. It was kind of all over the place. It was hard to look at quickly and get the message.
On pages 917-921 the first cartoon describes the weight of race on whether or not you get accepted and how the supreme court in crucial in regulating the racial discrimination of colleges. The second cartoon shows how their is only one minority who is a supreme court justice and the rest are white, showing that if the supreme court decides whether or not race can be taken into account, it has a biased opinion by default. The third cartoon is going for affirmative action and is being sarcastic in saying "why does he get all the breaks" after showing the hardships he'd gone through to even get to the point of being considered for college. The fourth cartoon is showing how their are many other factors besides race that determine your acceptance into a university and its just easy to point the finger at affirmative action. The last cartoon shows how money helps set the course and even can be the determining factor in getting into a school. The most effective cartoon I think is the one with the supreme court justices because that is the top ruling possible on this issue and even a decision by the supreme court would be extremely biased by default.
