The companion artifact that I have chosen is a People’s Climate March poster. This poster is a good companion artifact for my Save the Bees poster because they are both about environmental protection. Both are recognizing the state of the Earth and it’s need to change in order for a healthy environment. However, the Save the Bees poster focuses solely on the protection of bees and what people can do to help. The Save the Bees poster invites the audience to take part in protection by planting bee friendly seeds. The  People’s Climate March poster is more about the entire planet and climate change. The People’s Climate March Poster is trying to get the audience’s attention to march in New York City to take a stand on climate change.

These two posters are appropriate for an in-depth analysis because of their similarities and differences. Both posters try to instill a sense of urgency in the audience by writing in red letters that we need the bees to survive, and the People’s Climate March shows the Statue of Liberty, a great American symbol halfway submerged in water. As for the differences the Save the Bees poster relies on it’s words and how they are formatted to get their message across. The quote “They need you almost as much as you need them” is the main source of rhetoric in the poster because it reminds the audience we do need bees in order to survive which appeals to logic. The People’s Climate March poster relies much more on imagery with the Statue of Liberty almost drowning. This picture appeals to the audience’s pathos.
