responses to sample essay

In an effort to preserve the fine spirit of cognitive dissonance, I will be arguing against my own statements in the four letter word response. Sample U, Part 5 "Visual presentations need to be ordered in a more careful manner than textual presentations. Images need to be shown in a sensible way, with sensible of time between each one to allow the viewer to establish meaning." First, this should read "with sensibility of time". Also, it presents an entirely dogmatic view of how visual arguments need to be presented. This worked for me, in the context of a narrative argument, however for the projects that did not have a narrative, the images could have told their story in different orders. And more, I don't know how the idea that visuals need to have more attention paid to order than text, but that is clearly incorrect. text means nothing without order, saying "the dog laughed" is a lot different than saying "dog laughed the".
