Attention getter: Wild wild WTF…. is my exact thoughts while examining this poster

Thesis: This poster is trying to draw in people who want to explore the wild wild west… in the most racist fashion

Credibility: Reading hundreds of high school text books that fail to mention the part about Americans stealing other people's cultures and appropriating them.. But not accepting people who are originally from the culture. Because Americans are portrayed as superheroes to other Americans and villains to minority culture.

  1. What you've got is good, I'm just worried you might run out of time with all the Visuals. I would suggest picking the top three and work with those. Your credibility is good and I think you have a lot to work with. I would suggest expanding on your devices unless you are able to remember everything without the outline. Also don't forget your internal citations and reference list:)

  2. I like your attention getter! I agree with Hannah in maybe selecting you best arguments for visuals and going from there. Also the ad is very blantly racist, but I'm wondering if you can go a little deeper to find any more meanings to add to your thesis.
