Observation 10

1. The film intends to argue the dramatic differences between the social classes during this period of time. As we seen in the film John Baptista is in slavery during most of the time.
2 & 3. In this movie the rhetorical strategies and appealed used is illustration and pathos. Illustration is used in this movie through the use of color, lighting, music, and apparel. These factors help in supporting the argument by making the major differences between the social classes apparent. The different styles of clothing from the scrubs clothing of John to the expensive clothing of the rich families. When the movie is focused on light John the lighting is dark, but on other topics the lighting may be bright. The music changes tempo and tone all the time during the movie to enhance the plot.
4. This movie showing was a good idea for an in class activity.
