2. Then, by paying particular attention to the visual images in the stories and the ways in which these provide clues to the meaning of the stories, write a paragraph explaining how you "read" the stories to get the full meaning of each of the stories. You may find it useful to consider some of these factors: //**Feliz dia de Gracias, Gus!**// **Paragraph Here**: I understood the words in Spanish because I am Spanish. There were some words i didn't understand but I just looked at the words around it to find out what it was. I also look at the pictures to help me. **(more detail needed)**
