1. I found the visual argument from Washington Univetsity most appealing. I thought the hand idea was super cool and also shows togetherness. This is important to me because instead of just showing the differences, they show people of all different identities working together to make a bigger picture, the tree. The visual argument I found least appealing would be the the one created by Megan Stampfli. I found this one least effective because the person that is depicted, while she appears to be a minority, there are no variations so the ad doesn't really so diversity at all.

2. The first cartoon shows a boy getting to go to college because he is boosted up and "tall enough to ride" because he is boosted up by his shoes that say racial and preferences. The second shows the supreme court judges are all wondering about promoting racial diversity and the one minority judge out of all of them is saying "the irony escapes me". The third image shows a little boy who had to deal with all these problems and them gets into college because of affirmative action and an old white lady is yelling that it is unfair. The fourth images shows a group of people who seems to have gotten into college for unfair reasons but the only one being blamed is the minority. The last image shows that in order to get into the college of o es choice you have to spend a lot of money. The image I find more convincing is the one showing all the different student who hot special treatment but the minority is blamed. I think that this shows that a lot of people blame minorities but they aren't the culprit. The least effective in my opinion is the cartoon of the judges. It's not that funny and you have to really study the image to get any sort of feeling from it.
