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**: The way people read stories in Spanish when they speak little Spanish makes it important to include pictures that can also describe the story and what is going on on that page. With the pictures on the page it makes it important for people to include pictures to allow a person speaking English to at least make an attempt at understanding what is going on in a book that may be in a different language. Since the story is false, however, one can not use it as a reference of real life.

The good thing about having a news story is that the camera man can get real photage of what the topic is about, leading to a story that most people will like better than a book. If the report shown was in a book, it would be harder to understand the true friendship of the dog and elephant because footage of them two is being shown and at the same time the reporter is giving information about the unique friendship. Since the whole story is real, one can go back and use the pictures as a reference of the place where they all live and how it is so hard to come about a friendship of these two different animals.
