Images Make EVERYTHING Better

Blog Post 4


When making my blogs, I always make sure to include a picture. Pictures make everything look more
lively! They can bring any long and boring text to life. I think that adding a picture to any text can totally change the perspective of the viewer in response to its contents. It has the ability to    make a more long lasting impact on them.

This idea is true in response to the text, the Convention of Rights of the Child. There are two versions one of which is a very long text. Although it contains very useful information many people just aren't drawn to read it. However the other version, the photo essay, the pictures capture the eye of the reader making it more likely that they will read it. These pictures allow the reader to feel more of a connection to whatever it is they are reading. This is certainly true in the photo essay version of the Convention of Rights of the Child. The pictures of the children make it easier for the reader to feel a connection and understand what the long text is saying. These pictures are what really build the strength of the text. I think that the long text version contains very important messages however it's just not something that the average person will just want to sit down and read. Thankfully, the photo essay version grabs the readers attention and spreads the message of the importance of protecting the children's right!

Honestly I think that all of those picture books we read as children are part of the reason that we tend to gravitate towards the more lively, covered in pictures type of text. Pictures make spreading your message a much easier thing to do. They have the power to immediately impact the emotions of others. We all love having visuals.
