Post Example - Hug

Process: 

The group was looking for an image that describes how hugging can make peace between people. Importantly, hugging can be understood by everyone. It is a universal sign of friendship and kindness. First, we were looking for pictures that aren't directly about hugging. However, it was hard to find any picture of metaphors that symbolizes hugging and we found the two animals hugging each other that really stood out to us.

Analysis: 

First, we found a very good example of how hugging can represent kindness and friendship. This picture shows that it doesn't matter to be friends and stay peaceful if they are people, animals, or any other living things. Furthermore, it also amazed us how different the animals are in the picture and they are still at peace each other. This symbolizes that race or culture is not important to people or any other living things to stay in touch with good relationships. The denotation in the picture is simply different animals hugging. However, the connotation has deeper meaning. First, the animals in the picture both look very sad and depressed. This is one of the reasons why hugging can make people connected with good relationships. They were hugging, comforting each other and making one another happier. So no matter how different people are and how well they know each other, they will always remain close. This picture is a perfect example showing even animals would hug even though they were very different.
