Note the following prior to continuing to evaluate the political ads:

1. Tone is the author's attitude toward a subject. Depending on the focus of the political ad, the tone can vary greatly. (TONE words can be found on the LEFT wall if you need some help).

2. Dominant visual images means, " what do you see? What stands out? People? A flag? Cities or farms? " The answer to this question relates to the audience that the politician is trying to reach.

3. Sometimes the music is very patriotic, sometimes just soft, background music, sometimes inspirational, etc. You decide.
