Compare and Contrast in Visual Rhetoric

When you look at an image, it is important to analyze what is within it, but how do we do this? We examine each element within the image and we use outside knowledge to understand what the image is all about. The process of relating an image with real life uses Compare and Contrast. We ask "What is relative to the outside world and what is not?"
                   When we write about our analyzed similarities and differences, we use rhetorical tools to describe how the image is relevant. Compare and Contrast is important for the sake of bringing a greater meaning to the image. With the rhetorical tools we use with Compare and Contrast, we can look at an image and construct better, unnoticed qualities that are invisible to the naked eye.
