Today, students are trained for a plethora of events and activities that weren’t prevalent twenty years ago. One of the most disheartening events being school shootings. The Class of 2021 will be the first class to plot out exit points from the classroom, who have had to think of which school supplies would be the best weapons. The video we just watched is a campaign titled “Lost Class of 2021”. The graduation ceremony shown was for all the students who would be moving onto the next stages of life but were killed from school shootings. There would have been 3,044 students graduating, represented by 3,044 empty chairs. The man giving the speech is David Kenne, the president of the National Rifle Association from 2011 to 2013. This campaign utilizes a few major lenses to covey its point, like Kairos, ethos, visual rhetoric, to implore the United States and its government to relook at the lack of restriction on gun laws. Another artifact by political cartoonist Ben Jennings implores similar analytic devices like visual rhetoric and representation that complement the Lost Class Campaign. Both campaigns advocate for stricter gun laws to prohibit school shootings.
