The act of looking at images that relate to a story can help the reader capture the true essence of what is happening. The images can also help to put in prospective what the characters are seeing, and more importantly, what the character is feeling. The author of a story cannot always express through words what something such as a landscape or single object looks like to the point that the reader has a definitive understanding of what is actually going on. Actual pictures or visual representations of the landscapes, or the rooms being described offer the reader far more than even the author could of imagined. Although cliche, a picture is worth a thousand words, and in Japanese story telling the standard is to use only the words necessary to tell the story. So when it is available, the act of looking at a picture will most certainly be useful.

Imagery is a way to describe objects, scenarios, scenes, etc. by using language that would appeal to physical senses such as; smell, sight, touch, taste, and sound.

There is an old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” which is very true. In the article, "Against Neutrality", by Teju Cole mainly focuses on how a photograph can change a person perspective in an entire different way. Coles states, “The camera is an instrument of transformation”. A photographer has the power to create multiple different perspectives, which can be good and bad. It depends on the person who takes the picture and with the intent of the photo. A photographer is like a writer because they want to send some time of message to their audience.

Currently, I find myself to use pictures to comprehend new information even a child as well. When I was learning about World War II in middle school, I discovered that the images of the war were very intriguing than reading a textbook in social studies class. In the book, Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi, this piece of literature included so much history that had been tied into the novel displaying comic strips of what Satrapi imagined from her childhood, what had really happened and the life the people in Iran experienced in times of war. Not only the Iran-Iraq War has images that depict the tragic event, but the Holocaust can be taught through pictures as well.

Due to the development of characters, situation, and the theme, imagery can help to convey a particular impression and is mandatory in any story.
Pictures are worth a thousand words. This is a phrase that almost everyone has heard and uses when looking at breathtaking images. When I was younger I took this to heart. I would almost never pick up a book if it didn’t have pictures inside. I loved to look at the vivid colors and imagine not only what I was thinking but what the person that was writing the book was thinking. My teachers used to tell me that I didn’t like books without pictures because of my lack of imagination. I disagree, I believe that most children look at pictures differently than not only adults but other children. In this class I got to read several picture books which just reinforced my belief of how important picture books are when children are developing their cognitive skills.

Abstract: This essay reflects on the relationship of photographs, history, and memory based on a found and mutilated photo album. Photographs provide opportunities for disrupting and restructuring history with their attraction to memory; they privilege the subjective, creative power of the personal explanation and provide an emotional and even ideological grounding for memory. Photographs as manifestations of memory assist in the process of understanding the present.

If I had only looked at the sketch and neglected to read the caption, I would never have known the truth behind the sketch. The caption gave me depth into the topic and dispelled any notions I might have conceived about the picture. This is because seeing is superficial. Seeing only allows us to get to the surface of a subject. If we stop there, we can never find meaning or purpose.

For this source I chose the article, In Plato 's cave by Susan Sontag. The source talks about all of the different ways society looks at photographs. In the quote by Sontag she says,
The use of multiple images to propel a narrative allows the audience to learn something through the characters that are there. Bloomer (1990)’s study on visual perception also draws upon Newton (1998)’s concern, as he explores the multiple perspectives and views of the event. By using a series of images, the characters mood and tone can be established throughout different elements of what we see. This may be the people, the place itself or the items within the place. By having a narrative of photographs, the audience has an even deeper understanding of the reality of that moment or event as they see more than just the ‘big picture’ as
