In my Facebook profile picture, I
am standing with my older brother, Jon, inside a sky-bridge in Davenport, Iowa.
This sky-bridge allows pedestrians to safely cross a six-lane highway four
stories in the air and takes you out right near the edge of the Mississippi
River. This picture was taken after Christmas and a big snowstorm.
I believe that my profile picture
appeals to pathos because it shows the sort of sibling bond that my older
brother and I share and have always shared. I believe that this picture shows a
pretty good representation of the way that my brother and I act around each
other. I’m always trying to keep both of my brothers in line and they both
always act goofy in spite of my efforts. Anyone that knows my family can
understand this picture and the truth behind the emotions in our faces.
I also believe that my profile
picture sends the message that I am very different from my older brother. A
large amount of my wardrobe consists of blacks and blues, while my brother
wears more neutral tones. While I am somewhat standoffish, my brother is more
open and inviting to new people and things. I feel that although my wardrobe may send the
message that I could seem difficult to confront, I’m a very cheery and loving
person. I feel that my profile picture may be a subconscious effort to prove to
people that don’t know me very well that I am actually very kind.
Based on the time of the year that
this photo was taken, I believe that my profile picture also appeals to kairos.
This picture was taken around Christmas time in Iowa, there is snow on the ground
outside. It’s kind of like my picture appeals to the idea that everyone wants a
“White Christmas” and it is a sort of typical Christmas-time photo.
