Poverty (#3 pg. 135)

This advertisement makes a rather emotional argument that poverty in Lagos is ignored. This could be an argument for the claim that poverty is a problem. The picture along with the few words depicts how poverty is ignored and how awful poverty is. The picture is very emotional, seeing the poor struggling person whom is ignored by everything around her, even the vehicle passing by which could have easily crushed her mistakenly. The picture evokes sadness and pity for people affected by poverty and works to persuade an audience to start caring.
