Visual Rhetoric 2





The image shows to the viewer the scene of a person who is using a line which is attached to a post on one side and a tree on the other side. The line is broken while the person was riding. He definitely is falling down. With the depth of the cliff and may be sharp rock in the bottom, this person needs a miracle to save his life. The faded figure in the upper center of the image gives viewers idea that this person is receiving a miracle and he will be saved.

The image reminded me the accident in which I fell twenty five feet high from my roof. According to the surgeon who performed the operation to reorganize my internal organs, this kind of fall would end up either to a death or permanent paralyze. Miraculously I did not land on my head, or on my bottom. Had I landed on either of these positions, the result would be a death or the permanent damage.

With the viewers of this image, the pathos gives them a scary impression; and if the person can survive this king of fall, it needs to have a miracle.
