Who appears to be the target audience for this image, given the context?<\/li>\n<li>Explain <em>what<\/em> aspect of this image provokes an emotion or a feeling, <em>how<\/em> it does it, and what emotion or feeling it provokes.<\/li>\n<li>Explain what sort of\u00a0<em>behavior\u00a0<\/em>this image inspires by provoking that feeling. Does it want you to do something? To believe something? Buy something? Support a cause or organization? \u00a0Vote a certain way? Donate money? Become more conscious or aware or convinced of a problem?<\/li>\n<li>Explain the interpretation that ties the feeling to the desired behavior. What must you believe for the feeling to move you to the behavior?<\/li>\n<li>In conclusion, contemplate whether pathetic appeals in the image depend on identity categories of the target audience, such as age, class, ethnicity, sex\/gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, political ideology, religious belief, etc.?
