The reader needs a good hook to prepare them to the upcoming
material they will be learning. It should be an exercise that smoothly leads into the lesson,
but the hook should not teach the lesson. The better you understand your

The writer should use very appropriate language
and clear while writing just to make it easy to understand for the reader.

serious, persuasive essay.
I think the tone depends on the type of the topic you’re writing about. An educative essay must be appropriate. You must select the appropriate subject matter as there will be students and professors reading your essay. In contrast, if the essay topic is celebratory, a festive, joyous and informal tone is more suitable.

An officer responding to a report that Mr. Floyd had tried to pass a fake $20 bill helped hold him down by lodging a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes. People allover the world especially Americans decided to take his rights after his death. This image is of Leshia Evans, a demonstrator at an event that followed the shooting of Alton Sterling by a policeman in Baton Rouge, LA, being arrested.

After watching the video “How can art help you analyze ” you could understand why art is so important to the world. Art is all over the world and we barely notice it. Not everyone can understand certain pieces of art and this brings out more skills in a person. Throughout the video Ted-Ed uses relevance, logic and and debth to help readers understand “How can art help you analyze. ” The author uses relevance to help readers understand “How can art help you analyze” because if you can analyze the thing you cant see in art, you can use that ability in your everyday life. For example a doctor or a police officer have to use there eyes to analyze a problem or to diagnose somebody. If you can analyze even the little things in art or in general it is a helpful skill .The other uses logic to explain the importance of analyzing art because sometimes in art you’re not gonna see every detail so its up to you to interpret and inference what the art significance. For example in the video there was a painting of a train with no other detail around it. If you really interpret the picture and use logic you can imagine all the other things surrounding the picture. Lastly the author uses debth to explains to listeners the deeper you look into something the more you’ll understand. Art isn’t something that can be analyzed easily but with practice you can use these skills else where too.
The left side of this “meme” or image is from a isolated scene from a popular Canadian music artist of Drake also known as Aubrey Drake Graham in his 2015 hit music video “Hotline Bling”. On the upper left panel it’s can be interpreted as Drake being displeased through his face which shows discomfort shielding away from a thought with his hand pushing away or stopping the idea being brought up that may be often perceived as the correct or a view could be perceived wrong while on lower left panel it represents the opposite showing his face with an emotion that is pleasing,happy as if he’s nodding along for with his hands pointing towards agreement with the suggestion. The meme in some examples below show it can be still altered even further but can still be easily arranged and interpreted for the creator purpose.
Repurposed even further
Regardless whether how much it differs or modified the purpose of this image illustrates two points that often converge with each other which portray similar messages and ideas which were one is often agreed upon and the other is disagreed upon. I’ve attached some images below to further exhibit and display my interpretation of the image.
Repurposed even further here as well
A reasonable idea yet the opposite often done related among other folks
Similar to what Berger has mentioned throughout his video this meme and other various types of images do their best to relating within our own context of life and similar experiences as if they were words. The meaning of this image or meme rather, changes accordingly to whats besides it. These reproductions make it easier to connect our experience with the meme with other experiences and react accordingly with them. While they don’t originate from one single author or place or have much of a history they’re still unique for getting a point / message across to viewers across the globe. These reproduced images have also been repurposed as new form of communicating through memes. This is all due to another creation, social media which has spread across the world reaching every part of the world that was never thought to be achievable before.

Since the invention of the camera, artwork all around has been manipulated with a simple change of angle, arrangement of sets or even the dimness of a light. This has become a new language where individuals can interpret images in their own ways.
These are murals of women around cities painted by unknown artists. These artists are trying to send a big message regarding the naturalism of a woman’s appearance. These aren’t just any basic features on a person’s body, hair is a very big and important character trait any person has. It makes them who they are. Hair in many cultures is seen as valuable. It makes a person who they are. The artists who painted these murals purposely did it on that wall because it had a very important natural element, which was the tree. A tree is seen as natural, pure and earthly. Hair is a sort of language itself, there are different types. What the tree was expressing was the curly hair community. That community itself has even more of a variety.

When Berger said that the faces of paintings become messages, he meant that a face could transmit so much feeling and make you think what is happening in the painting. These memes convey their message with the characters in the painting having a conversation, this conversation is based on the faces and the actions that the characters are doing. Usually these conversations are about things of the daily life as studies, love, drama; generally represented in a sarcastic way. Some of them even expose some of the reality of that time.
When I think of memes, I see them as a new way of information that delivers the message in a hilarious form. Some memes are merely funny and that’s it, but many memes contain references which you would have to know to understand the meme this encourages you to investigate the history behind it (this is more likely to happen with history memes though).
I remember that about three years ago in Facebook, there was a spanish musical video created by Christian Flores about the one of the most important paintings in art history: “Las Meninas” made by the Spanish painter Diego Velasquez. With bad orthography, making zoom and the movement in the mouth of the characters in the video the little Margarita keeps asking to Velasquez (who appears in the painting) if she is cute, while Velasquez is telling the tragic and short life of Margarita in a sarcastic way. This is the clear example of how things like videos or memes altering the real meaning of a painting with sounds and dialogues, could be not only funny but informative. I actually still remember the lyrics of the song and probably if I hadn’t seen this video I wouldn’t know anything about “Las Meninas”. Here’s the video, but is in spanish and with bad orthography, so probably many of you won’t understand, sorry ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il6p2-40-F0
These are some examples of how classical paintings could be turn into memes nowadays
