1. After the considering the arguements, i would say that the visual and texual rhetoric of the shirt is very creative and connects with a younger crowd. The visual rhetoric of the shirt expresses a feeling of connection and and peace. The textual rhetoric of the shirt is a great way to attract younger people. When people see this shirt, they automatically get a more chill and urban representaion of Jesus. I believe the first shirt gives a more relaxed and urban appeal than the first one does. From viewing both of the shirts, i dont see it as being being a parody spoof. With being a Christian, i dont see these shirts as something negative. I see it as a way to to reach out to different groups of people.

3.I f the shirts only containted the text, it would change the rhetorical alot. The shirt would just be a a plain phase without any kind of imagination behind it. IIf it only had the texts, it would definatly change the way I react to the shirt but not a lot. When i see the shirt, i imagine myself with Jesus. If the shirthad only the text, it would be less of an image because its only words. With the visual, you can imagine Jesus being someone thats someone you can chill with and talk to on a comfortable level.
4.For the shirt on the left, I interpret this shirt as Jesus being just super cool and and chill. The facial expression of Jesus just seems like Hes really cool and all about peace. the coloring of the shirt shows Jesus as being a very a very calm person but a serious person at the same time. The shirt shows a lot of red. I believe this represents the blood of Jesus. In the shirt on the right, I interpret shirt as Jesus being protrayed on a more serious level. The gestures that He makes shows he trying to reach out to you. Hes holding the text almost like Hes wanting to give it to you
