Hondros, Chris. //Misurata,libya//. 2011. Photograph. Misurata, Libya. This picture taken by Chris Hodores which shows Libyan fighters who are going door to door fighting Kaddafi loyalists. There civil war was started because of how the Libyan population was treated poorly and the Libyan people even though they were outnumbered and going against an iron fisted dictator. The author’s purpose for taking this picture is to bring awareness to the Libyan rebellion. There is no real reason for him to take this particular photo is more spur of the moment when he was covering the Libyan rebellion. He does not use pathos or logos in this picture intentionally but he does have ethos in the form of awards such as honors from the world press and the john faber award from the overseas press club.

This article shows how much the Libyan rebels had to fight through how much they cared about ending Kaddafi’s rule. The point of the author making this was to show the progression of the war in a clear way. There is no real social context to this because it was said to be made by Reuters which is a company like CNN. There is really only ethos because they have been here for so long and reported on so many things.
