The Last Meal

I found that the presentation of “The Last Meal Project” was more compelling than “No Seconds” because it provided more visual rhetoric. In the last meal project it provided more information about the convict: his/her name, their last meal, the reason they were convicted, the state they lived and the time and day that they were executed. What I mostly liked about The Last Meal Project was the font the author used on the text, the color red as a font, and they way the paper was presented: ripped and crumbly. With all the information given and all the photos presented, it made me feel like I was there, like I was the one giving the convict his last meal, it made me feel like I was watching everything in person rather than seeing it all online. In No Seconds, I liked the way in which he portrayed the pictures; he was showing how each meal was presented before it was given to the convict, but it did not really feel like it was the meal of a convict; it was more luxurious and fancy. The one similarity I have seen in both was the font used to explain the meals; the two made me feel like I was reading the actual paper that was used. However, the author of The Last Meal Project used more visual rhetoric than the author of No Seconds.

I believe that the author of The Last Meal Project did a better job in describing the meals than the author of No Seconds; he succeeded in representing the information of the convicts and he used more visual presentation and he was able to connect with the readers through these visual presentations.
