Food to die for

Looking at both of the sites: Last Meal Project  and No Seconds, they provide quite different takes on what all inmates received. No seconds shows more quality pictures of the food, that the inmates eat, and this provides a clearer picture of what they asked for. Actually seeing what a black olive with a pit in it makes for a very powerful meaning. Why would you eat an olive as your last meal? The last meal project, in turn, shows more factual information, including laws and reforms involving the death penalty and last meal.

The author of the last meal project close to g the more factual road, and with t, the less imaginative one. While it works well, it doesn't invoke fiery emotions about the pictures. The cartoony pictures take away from it, and is a little too rhetorical, and takes away the professional aspect of all the presentation. 

In The Last Meal project, the author is trying to inform and show what kind of food they ate, and informing about the new laws as it goes through. There is much more focus on the inmate themselves, with the food lying as a back drop, and not the focal point. The author is trying to show what person chooses what, to see what they look like, as to maybe provide some insight on why they chose to eat said food.

The author of no seconds goes the better route, in my opinion. Using pictures to do most of the talking, and words only to identify everything, this makes all of the presentation seem more cohesive, and go with the theme a little better. It seems more serious.

No Seconds put all the emphasis on the food that was chosen, not the one that chose it at all. Showing no pictures of the inmate, only saying their name and their charge of crime. The author is trying to show how the crime committed can affect the food that was chosen.

I think that No Seconds drives a harder, and more compelling argument and presentation. When I look at the pictures of the food, and compare it to the crime, it is weird to see such a difference from what I would think about. They both show rhetoric, and I think another presentation could be made by showing the name, and how much the meal costs. This gives an idea of how being on death row affects what we want as a person.
