Test I- Definition of Terms

1. The semiotic principle is the idea that language is made up of a series of signs. This theory may be traced
back to Aristotle, who defined the human voice as "semantikos psophos" (meaningful sound) or sounds
that make meanings. However, semiotics is now employed to introduce each object's difference from
one another, allowing us to differentiate them individually, rather than simply naming or labeling the
things around us. As a result, the semiotic principle is a symbolic language or linguistics system.

2. Reading the Real is a method of reading and analyzing the context offered by an artform and related
masterpieces by developing personal implications and perspectives on how it affects you as a person,
whether through emotion, culture, or cognitive level. As a result, the observer is able to decipher the
true message conveyed by the masterpiece.

3. Visual Narratives is a type of narration in which images or visual props are used to tell the story. It is
commonly believed that an image contains millions of words implied within its frame, which is why
people nowadays never forget to document their memorable experiences and share them with everyone
via social media: this way, others will be able to learn about each individual's story by looking at these
images. In contrast to traditional narratives that rely on words to produce imagery, with visual narratives,
stories may be imaginatively delivered using visual tools to aid in the presentation of the narrative's main
characters.

4. Narrative writing is the process of weaving words together in a creative way to tell a tale and
communicate important concepts and ideas to the audience. This can be connected with a variety of
issues and causes, either to entertain readers with genuine or fictional characters and plots, or to inform
and persuade with facts. As a result, narrative writing has become an important part of society.

5. Narratology is a body of knowledge devoted to the study of narratives and their structures, as well as
the skill of writing them. It also defines the talents and instruments necessary to create an engaging
story.

My Everything

No one is ever born into Life alone. Everyone has shared the bond of family, at least at birth, and
for many people it is a bond that will follow them throughout life. For many people it is the most
important bond of all.
Family is one of Be Strong Families core values, beginning with respect for and appreciation of
others no matter how old, how young, where they come from, what they’ve experienced, where they
are, how capable they are, how healthy they are, who they love. It extends to individual’s choices of who
they call family – what intentional, meaningful relationships they form. Our value of family extends to
community and to sisterhood and brotherhood. Although we are united by this value, family means
something different to each of us
I remember the feeling of completeness and security I had growing up with my mom, dad,
grandparents, and extended family members. I always felt like I belonged and was accepted for me.
People are not perfect, sometimes in actions and words, but, knowing the unconditional love that we
are surrounded with by our families keeps us grounded in our true selves. Now that I am older, I feel the
same security that I experienced while growing up. A familiarity of comfort that brings me to a place of
peace and security. My own comfort zone where I am loved, happy, cared for and needed. Household
always feels nearby. The closeness is never determined by distance or time. Frequent gatherings develop
into mutual support. And occasional visits enrich lives with gratitude. Family is comfort; it is home. What
is most important: I refuse to limit family to a group or place. I am passionate about strengthen all
communities. I believe, the foundation is respect and commitment and creating cherished moments.
