For the next portion of my project, I made a meme, an Expectation Vs. Reality meme. I wanted to show how it should be a how it's expected to be, but it's not and i want to get this changed. So, in my reflection I talk about the things I did with it to try and convince people to help.
In my meme I expressed that people expect to have all-inclusive cabins based on Oakland County parks mission statement but in reality, they aren't and that needs to be changed
Being the author of my meme I do have a bias as someone that enjoys the park and works there but I understand that this problem needs to be fixed. I envision people in a younger generation as an audience seeing it and hopefully try and help get the cabins to be accessible
My meme is relating to the letter I wrote to the park's director about the cabins. I've just overall noticed that some people were complaining, and I really thought about it, and it needs to be changed it's not right.
I made my meme to encourage the younger generation to try and help me out and to get the cabins renovated and get accessible features put in. With that to appeal to the younger people I used a reference from SpongeBob and a joking tone to try and make them laugh and engaged.
Using the genre of the "Expectation vs. Reality" meme it forced me to get the point across in very few words. I included the basic "expectation vs reality" words at the top also adding more text to go with my problem of accessible cabins.
I used pathos in my meme to get people to laugh and also to invoke emotions about how the cabins should be easy to use for people with disabilities. I also used logos because i feel like its basic logic that the cabins should be accessible, i want to make a change and Im hope this would help do that.
i learned there are many different ways to express concerns about the things around you. I also understand how different genres can express the same thing but appeal to to different audiences.
