Denotation: what do you see?

I see a picture of a little boy who looks sad and I see a brick wall behind the wall . on the advert there is a text that says " dig toilets  not graves" . which may suggest that they have no money and that their poor.

Connotation: what is suggested? What does it mean?

the advert is suggesting that the audience should feel bad for the little boy and to help donate money so that they can help the people in need of money and life necessities .

Analysis: what is the effect on the audience? How is this effect created?

the effect on the audience is to guilt trip them and make them more interested to the advert .

2) Now choose your own choice of advert from Google images. Save it to your documents, insert it into your blogpost and write an analysis using denotation and connotation, explaining what the advert is communicating to the audience.
