In the article of my choice, “Carbs on the Run” speaks about nutrition and the sport of running. Based on the picture on the front of the article, a female is posing with her bottom half exposed with many vitamins attached to her clothing. The caption reads, “Do I look fat?” which seems to further the stereotype about women and their appearance. The text talks about Lance Armstrong, a male, which gloats about his successes. The author appears to make the male look better at running in my perspective. In terms of visual strategies, the article is composed of a lot of fruit that looks good if it were to be eaten. The appeal of the food would appeal to the readers. The language in this article seems to include the reader as if the author was speaking to the reader directly. I would say the author does reinforce the text and visuals because both are including and attracting the reader to pay attention. The appealing visuals including the involving of the readers does both seem to have the same tone.
