Seeing this is a good way to help sophomores learn how to use words to make a picture in the reader's mind.

McCloud then exemplifies how as we age, we use less and less pictures in our reading (McCloud 740). But he explains that this idea is flawed, and that the combination of words and pictures “have great powers to tell stories…”(McCloud 741).

This relates back to Source B in the fact that the people learn who the candidates are as people-- whether they seem trustworthy, their confidence, their charisma. It is also important because who we vote on will be representing the country, and if the body language of our president is weak, then it is a sign to other countries that not only our leader is weak, but our country

As we most of us know that every pictures has tells us a story, where it has some means behind it. To prove my point, I will give an example from HCP and AP paper. In my first multi-modality HCP paper, I did not have a lot of visual images that connected to my argument, the multi-modality images I included in my paper was hardly even connected to my argument as it does not tell anything to the reader why those images were there in my paper as they did not seem that effective as it should have been.
