Blog 8

What is up on this fine day in Clemson, South Carolina on the twenty eighth of March? I am having a wonderful day as I have finished all my classes and I have no homework! I have always thought that one of my favorite bands, Reliant K said it best in one of their song when they said “I have never broken bones with a stone or a stick, but I can conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick.” This picture resonates the theme of that line given in the previous sentence. This is showing a man supposedly screaming and a fist coming out of his mouth hitting a woman in the face. This is an ad for stopping verbal abuse and the ad is portraying that verbal abuse can be just as horrific and damaging as physical abuse. The arm punching the woman represents the intense pain that can be caused by words. One thing I question is why it is always a man abusing a woman. I may not get out enough but I never see a woman abusing a man in an ad even though there are plenty of relationships that are like that. I just think it needs to go both ways. Another element used in this ad to represent sadness is its cold and bland colors giving you a depressing and morbid look on the scene. I hate abuse and violence no matter its form. As this ad portrays, no matter verbal or physical, it is just as damaging no matter its form. Bullying is a big problem in schools and I was a victim of bullying and sadly a bully myself. But I learned from my mistakes and have treated people with love. People need to stick up for victims of bullying and make a world a better place.
