In this image a young woman is in a grocery store balancing a bag of chips on her head. The woman is making the infamous \u201cduck face\u201d and holding a peace sign up. On top, there\u2019s the text that reads \u201cShe\u2019s so crazy! Love her!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Images and texts are both forms of communication that can convey information to a viewer or reader. While texts rely on words to create imagery, images are often visual representations of meanings often difficult to convey in words. In order to read an image, you have to look at several elements in a photograph. This includes looking at the composition, color, lines, shapes, and any other visual elements that make up the image, as well as considering the context in which the image is presented and any accompanying text or captions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this image, the woman\u2019s actions contrast with the text above creating a sense of humor. For example, the person seriously describes the woman\u2019s actions as out-of-the-norm or eccentric when it’s nothing of the sort. This creates a sense of irony because of the poster\u2019s intent versus what the image actually conveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, this meme is just a screenshot off of someone\u2019s Facebook page. Therefore, it was never intended to be a source of humor, which adds to the comedic element.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
