Logos
·         The image is focused on the child’s pain. The child’s crying with terrier in his eyes.

·         It being a photograph shows that it’s a real boy that is being abused. The reason why it is so close up is to focus on the child’s reaction to the verbal abuse.

·         The visual is more effective. Reason being, the visual shows clearly the emotion in the little boy. As where the text doesn’t really get the main idea across.



Audience
·         This visual can have all types of audiences. It can have adults, teenagers, and children as an audience. Because abuse is a major issue in our society, the visual does not pertain to one audience but to all.
