the way to school or work, by using prior knowledge and background experiences, ideas start forming. Visual messages are also conveyed in traditional forms such as films, novels, picture books and more.

The next example includes praying before you eat and reading a “book” (Bible) about…

Everybody that wants to join has got to take an oath, and write his name in blood,” (Twain 7). This quote shows one that Tom likes to be in control and likes to be in charge .
