facebook picture

-->

    This Facebook picture is one in which I have posed. When posing for it, I considered many things I would like to display myself as. Also, in selecting this picture apart from the other pictures, I chose to present certain things I would like to show in a picture of myself. In this day and age, many people are evaluated based upon an image of the person. For this reason, I took especial care in posing and later selecting, and later selecting, this image. In order to make this picture my choice, I implemented many forms of invention.

    Invention is the tool by which we give our 'text' or work tone, content, context, or any other aspects involved in its creation or selection. One of the first things to notice about my picture, and about almost every picture taken, is that I am smiling. Since smiling portrays a happy person, everyone wants to be seen smiling (who wouldn't want to be viewed as a happy?). This sets a tone for the rest of the image, as if I am partaking or approve of the picture as a whole. The ocean in the background shows my at the beach, which is certainly a time I should be pleased (smiling). I used this photo also because of the ocean in the background. The ocean is a place where many people have fun, spend their vacations, or basically spend their free time. Time at the ocean is viewed as one's better of even best time of the month or even year. By putting the ocean in my own picture, I am showing myself in a position in which they possibly wished to be themselves. By putting myself in a place where they want to be or wish they could be, I try to make them approve of me for being there. So, by putting the ocean in the background I am actually trying to have viewers approve or respect me because I was there.
