the power of images

while using images in writing is a very powerful thing. images can be used for many different reasons. whether its to persuade, scare, shock, or influence.
images can be used for letting the reader know what the paper is going to be about. images can also be used for relating to something that is in the paper as well.
many writers will use images to scare their reader. and i don't mean just scare as in ghosts and goblins, even though they can be used for that. what i mean for example is a woman form the central Illinois area was arrested and did jail time for being addicted to meth. in the story about her they show a before and after picture of her from the use of drugs. writers will do this in order to scare people out of making the same mistakes that someone else once did.
writers will also use images that will go along with statistics they might have in their paper. sometimes these consist of pie charts, maps, and graph charts. some times they will use actual pictures to shock people like the bill board of drunk driving versus buzzed driving to show people that it is the same thing.
using images in your writing can play an important role for a paper. some examples of how writers use them are shown above. the use if images are used in many different ways and should be taken advantage of from all writers.
