The grandparent is shaded, perhaps showing age or wisdom but also definitely curiosity. Some characters are shaded and some are not because the characters who are not are the characters you should be focused on, they tell the main story and movie the narrative along while transitioning from box to box very smoothly. The effect of the comic strip makes it seem more relaxed towards the reader but at the same time, old fashioned, like something from back in the WW2 era would have been like, if it were ... say a cartoon, then it would probably would have been viewed as extremely boring and dosn't give it that authentic feel about old school movies. Everything was spoken except for the bottom right boxes of text, which were narrative. there are little bubbles coming from out of their general area that indicates whether or not they are talking. This comic strip would be less effective if there were no visuals, it would have had less impact and I wouldn''t have payed attention, there would be no visual stimuli for me to feast my eyes upon and i would probably fall asleep. Images interact with texts by enhancing them and reinforcing what is stated, a picture is worth a thousand words, but a picture with words is worth a thousand words plus the words in your story :). The purpose is to show the turmoil and the impact of how the Jews were persecuted by the Nazi's and forced to give up all of their privacy and register to be "investigated" and they ended up being put into a concentration camp. He sets the tone of the story by starting off with two grandfather mouses that die due to the fact of a concentration camp and also mentions Auschwitz which hints the story will have something to do with a concentration camp.. I see that all Jews were outraged about having to register, and some Jews were suspicious about what the nazi's were really after. Which they had every right to be.

O so mysterious

Volleyball = Life

This picture represents the last four years of my life, I went from a kid whose parents were divorced who cared about nothing and hated everything. To a person who was successful and got into college. I found this image on NBC.com, on the page about the U.S. beach volleyball team winning gold. I love what it represents, not only our country winning gold proving that we have the best beach volleyball team in the world but also my own transformation to alter my attitude from the worst, to the best i can be. I think the viewer of this picture would think that this picture represents my inner strength and will to succeed no matter what obstacles I face.

Visual pictures to reference from the text increases the meaning of any text substantially. I think no matter where the picture is as long as it is somewhere next to the text, creates the same effect. I always look at the picture first, it gives me something to think about while i read the text.
