Visual Analysis: Capturing the Issue of Gun Control

Since gun control is a heated topic in politics these days, let's discuss this PSA that was released in December of 2016. The PSA was initially published by the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation - a foundation that encourages students and faculty to be aware of students who show signs of gun violence. While the visual images, storyline, and overall pathos of the commercial is chilling and moving, it is the ending tagline that contradicts the message of the video. Let's dive deeper into six, significant moments from the video. Figure 1 Here we see a conversation between Evan (the main character) and the girl who has been bantering with him on the desk in the library. This moment is important because it pulls the audience into Evan's and his mysterious girl's flirtatious conversation. Figure 2 In this image, we see Evan looking around for the mysterious girl from the library desk. His inability to find the girl, mixed with the look of disdain on his face, ...

Judgement

Just the other day, I had pizza with my in-laws for my Father-in-law's birthday. I sat next to my brother-in-law and his girlfriend. His girlfriend expressed her love for her new church, and it was so refreshing to watch her talk and brag about God. The one thing in particular that stuck out to me about our conversation was about judgement. She said "the message this past weekend was about judgement and it moved me to tears. I realized just how much I judged people and it broke me". Her humbled brokenness moved me. Because to be honest, she reminded me that I need to start checking myself more. One of my favorite verses that I refer to when I catch myself judging is Matthew 7:3-5: 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take...

Average

So let's talk...I am an INCREDIBLY scattered individual. I identify as a corky mom, online English teacher, grad student, dog lover, wife, christ follower, ex Zumba instructor, reader, singer, runner, south Texan, beach lover, writer, coffee fanatic...yes. I am literally all of the above. I am lucky enough to say that I have lived to the maximum so far in my 23 years of life, and it has turned me into a very busy woman. I am not perfect at any of the things I just listed, but I have had a lot of fun trying. But I haven't always enjoyed assigning identities to myself. You see, all my life I feel like I've been mediocre at everything i've tried. Growing up, I was always on the "B" team in sports. I coasted in this grey area between popular and not popular. I always placed somewhere around 15th chair in choir competitions. I had straight A's but was never actually the top student or won any awards. And what's more....even now I feel this way. An...
