Annotation #5

Summary: In the article titled, "From Inquiry on Visual Analysis", we are being taught how to be able to analyze visual texts. When looking at a visual text, we want to know what we see in the image and what catches are attention when looking at the image. We are also introduced to ethos, which is the characteristics of a spirit culture.

Finally, we are also informed and how to understand a set rhetorically, by understanding the situation and the writer's purpose and claim.
