Background- The Black Lives Matter movement was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. This is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to end white supremacy and build local power to stop the violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. This movement was created to end racism among all black communities.
- polysyndeton- The people here are using the repetition of the African Americans who were killed by cops
- parallelism- They use simple phrases like "respect" to state what they are trying to do
- enumeratio- they are detailing why Black Lives Matter
- anastrophe- They use this in a sense of what the man is showing with his fist
- Value- you can see how the colors pop out throughout the photo
- Full- there are many figures and people in the picture making it filled up
- Eye-level- we are looking right at them
As you can see above, these people are using signs to show the black lives matter movement. They are using their voices out in the community to change how people view black people in America and everything that is going on with how black people are treated by the police. In today's world, cops go after black people and these people are using their voices to preach that. They use the phrases like "silence is violence" and "today tomorrow and forever" to convey what they are preaching. After reading everything on Black lives matter, I was very misinformed of the movement in a whole. I thought this was a movement of just mobs and riots where people are going around and burning their cities down to prove a point. I was wrong, this is a movement of voice and facts in how black people have been mistreated for so long. I am glad I chose this movement.
