HCE 9-English Write

   

My first impression of this visual is I see is a lady (let’s call her Karen) pointlessly yelling at an innocent African American who doing a hobby of his, which is bird watching.

As the karen is yelling, the man chooses to ignore the karen, which is a good choice as he is preventing the confrontation from worsening.

You can tell that she is yelling by the excessive use of capitals & the use of the bubble being highlighted red. While she’s yelling at the man, it shows his ancestors in the background who’ve probably had similar incidents.

It’s quite obvious that the lady is a karen, look at her! The way she’s dressed, her blonde hair and the way she’s yelling makes it quite obvious that she’s American, therefore a Karen.

What the author is intending to do is show the effects that racial profiling can have on someone.

In this case, the Karen is completely overreacting for no reason whatsoever.  Which is normal for a Karen as they like to pick a fight for the stupidest reasons.
