In Class: What I learned from last nights reading.

Well to start off, I learned a lot about more about how pictures can tell 100 words.  I always knew that, however, the book takes it a step farther.  We learn to look at the details of pictures.  One example I remember the best is a picture of a mans profile.  You can see his serious look on his face and while there are other aspects of the photo to take into consideration, his expression tells us a lot.  Also the use of punctuation (periods, commas, exclamation points, ect.) were discussed.  The book talked about how separating thoughts can sometimes be effective but at other times it can make a thought seem choppy and not make such as drastic of an effect as it would have without the interruption.  I never really thought how punctuation can make such a drastic change on the effectiveness of a statement or blurb.
