When writing a composing a photo essay and writing a rhetorical analysis, there are elements that share in common as well as elements that make them different. Ethos, logos, and pathos can be found in both a photo essay and in a rhetorical analysis. Although a photo essay is not made up of words, it can be analyzed in a way that appeals to emotion, logic, and credibility. Also, in a rhetorical analysis and a photo essay, there is an audience and a purpose. 
In retrospect, both works have differences. In a rhetorical analysis, the main goal is to analyze a piece of work. The point is to determine the purpose of another individual's work and find out how ethos, logos, and pathos were used. In my opinion, making a photo essay is more simple than writing a rhetorical analysis because it is more creative and not as specific.

Hi Karina--

There are stark differences and stark similarities. You are totally correct about that! I am interested in why one concept is simpler than the other, though. If writing a photo essay is easier than writing a rhetorical analysis, is it only because of the assignment? Or does it have to do with our perception?
