Writing to Inform, Convince, and Persuade: Rhetoric 1101 Section 7

I found my visual argument on the Honolulu Advertiser's website, which is one of Hawaii’s newspapers.

This image was digitally altered by a Miami cruise ship company who wanted to promote tours to Hawaii. The message it sends to people who see it is that Hawaii is a place to go to for good times and relaxation. However, the image has insulted the Hawaiian people, the Hawaiian culture and the significance of a great King.
