Visual Rhetoric:
Many scars on the face
A red bruised eye
Short blonde hair
A hand on her shoulder
Open mouth
This visual rhetoric is shown to give the image of this lesbian woman who suffered the death of her partner and also many injuries to herself. Not only is she suffering with emotional and physical injuries, but also she is trying to win a wrongful death lawsuit for her dead "spouse", but it is not able to go through because civil unions are not recognized in Indiana.
The caption reiterates that Alisha is emotional. The argument of this picture is to show the emotions of Alisha and that she is suffering so many hardships and cannot receive the normal treatment just because she is gay. Gay rights would be the ultimate purpose for this picture.
