Final Blog Post: Inquiry Project




What they don’t understand about words and what they never tell you is that sometimes there aren’t enough, sometimes they are meaningless, sometimes they don’t do justice.  And when you go to explain with such clarity your sadness or your happiness or the innocence of something, you just Can’t.

 Looking back on the growth that I have experienced throughout my Inquiry Project I have come to new realizations about my entire learning process.  Taking linguistic interpretations and theories, then applying them to other aspects of my life has been incredibly eye opening.  The main focus of my project being visual rhetoric, moreover how I have come to the conclusion that rhetoric is not necessary all of the time is one of these theories.  In this last installment of my analytical process, I looked at how these single words or phrases have the power to distort or in some cases completely change the meaning behind a photograph.  Take a look at the original images, conclude your own emotion towards the photo, then compare that to it’s duplicate which contains such rhetoric.  It’s funny isn’t it? How we’re able to rearrange thirty-six letters to craft our own ideas, thoughts that have reoccurred since the beginning of time become lyrical.  These reconstructed words have the power of the bullets encapsulated within a gun.   Our pens pull the trigger.

  1. This is a very interesting subject. I have never considered myself good at analyzing any kind of art. This is mostly because I do not interpret things the same way other people usually do. I like to think this puts my own spin on things, but none of my previous teachers seem to agree with me.
