898&site=ehost-live&scope=site. This article highlights the budget that is being
increased to help the Army Corps of Engineers build a better infrastructure. It provides
quotes from the Army Chief and the Lieutenant General of the Army Corps of Engineers.
The article points out the flaws that come with the new increase in the budget. I will use
this source as it provides credible quotes from people who know first-hand how the
infrastructure in the United States needs to be improved. With the quotes, I will try to
persuade my audience that the budget “increase” needs to be raised as it is not enough to
make improvements across the nation. This source will help present logic that is needed
to persuade the reader, without knowing the numbers, the reader would not know the
little impact the budget has on infrastructure. By presenting this, it allows the reader to
see how inefficient the new budget is.
Kress, Gunther, and Theo van Leeuwen. Reading Images: The Grammar of Visual Design.
Routledge, 1996. Kress and van Leeuwen provide means to examine visual and linguistic
compositional argument as it relates to the features of an image, including color choices,
subject representation, viewer positioning, framing, size and location of image, and other
Cohen 2
structural elements that speak to the designers’ intended visual effect. Analyzing the
relationship between producer and viewer by means of the visual interaction can begin to
address and “regulate what may be ‘said’ with images, how it should be said, and how it
should be interpreted” (114). Specifically, Kress and van Leeuwen’s text will be critical
as I need to establish the digital and rhetorical arguments pertaining to the design choices
featured on WeddingWire as it relates to the position of the viewer and the compositional
visual culture of the website.
Los Angeles Public Library. “Hartley Burr Alexander: Not Your Typical 20th Century
Philosopher.” https://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/blogs/lapl/hartley-burr-alexander-
not-your-typical-20th-century Accesses 13 July 2018. This online publication illuminates
historical and biographic information about Hartley Burr Alexander. This text is useful in
corroborating primary source documents about Alexander’s conviction to Native American
cultural preservation against evidence other scholars and colleagues have provided,
speaking to the legacy and Alexander’s vita. This multigenre project is in part
bibliographic, so this source will be useful in establishing the character and personal
history of Alexander and the inspirations that contributed to his thematic consultation to
the NE capitol. This source also provides work that Alexander did after the Nebraska State
Capitol project including thematic curation to the Los Angeles Central Library
Commission, Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, the Oregon State Capitol, Fidelity Mutual
Life Building in Philadelphia, Metropolitan Life Instance Building in NYC, Rockefeller
Center in New York, and the Department of Justice Building in Washington D.C., among
many others; while these other curations are not the focus of this inquiry, these examples

will be useful in establishing Alexander’s commitment to mediated memory and art
practices regarding Native American life in North America
Moore, Tami J. and Barbara Clark. “The Impact of ‘Message Senders’ on What Is True: Native
Americans in Nebraska History Books” Multicultural Perspectives, vol. 6 no. 2, 2009, pp.
17-23, DOI: 10.1207/s15327892mcp0602_4. This journal article was authored by two
University of Nebraska-Kearney professors and through a comparative Nebraska social
studies textbook study, they found five emerging themes as it relates to how contemporary
textbooks portray Native Americans. These characteristic Native American themes and
“images included thievery, brutality, lazy men, alcoholism, and magic” (Moore & Clark
19). Moore and Clark’s study details the damaging effects this kind of portrayal has upon
students in shaping their conceptions of Native lived experiences and presence in both
historic and contemporary contexts. This source offers a contemporary example of how
current educational traditions relating to Native American cultural education falters
tremendously from a space of commemoration and honoring the First Peoples of the Great
Plains. This source will be another supporting artifact which attempts to combine fragments
of both the current ways Nebraska treats Native American history and education against the
commemorative intentions of Alexander’s Nebraska State Capitol Building.
