Postcard analysis: Kelsey Rubbo, Peter Goodwin and Melissa Mooney

Not your daughter: The background of the postcard is a family photo of a little girl on a bumper boat. Her face is blackened out because she does not know her own identity. This shows that she could have been adopted. The words at the bottom that say “I know I’m not your daughter” are hand-written making it more personable.

Shredding work: This postcard has the shredded work in the background that the person did not want to do helping visualize the work that they shred. The text is official text that is typed out, like the text that they use in the documents that were shredded. The happy face at the end of the text shows that the person found it humorous and did not care that what they were doing was wrong. The postcard is neat and well put together which is strange because it seems like this person is lazy when it comes to work.

Tough with tattoo: This postcard has a picture of a girl’s back with a tattoo and typed words glued to the picture. The tattoo says “be tough” to remind her to be tough so she can stop cutting herself. However the text says that this did not help her and under the second line of text there is blood dripping symbolizing her still cutting herself.
