Week 4:reading response Part1 Cartoon arguments

The cartoon that I find the most successful is "An excerpt from Men Are from Belgium Women Are from New Brunswick, by Roz Chast." I feel this one is the best because to me it has the primary definition of a visual argument. It also has both the male and female language where as the others don't. Most of the other visual arguments only show or stress the male language in a dull way while Roz Chast's visual argument has both and was humorous. I find it interesting how the female visual argument would out do all the males, you would think that the male visual arguments would have been better, after all it's four against one, Roz was out numbered and yet she emerged victorious. Roz visual argument has a better understanding of the communication separation.
The visual argument that I thought was the least successful was "And do you, Deborah Tannen, think they know what they're talking about, by Peter Steiner." My reason for voting this one as the least successful is because the visual argument doesn't really say much, we can gain a lot of Information by looking at a picture that doesn't even have words but when you look at that one it says little to nothing at all, it's like a whisper in your ear that you can't even hear. In this argument you would have to look at the facial expression of the woman after the question has been asked. The only problem with that is not everyone can read facial expressions especially in a cartoon. However i do understand her facial expression, the expression i get from her is "who him, no not really." But not everyone is going to understand that from the cartoon.
