There are many ways to express a concept or tell a story, but the ones used mainly are photographs and narratives. The differences between these two are in the details because they both tell a story. When you tell a story with a photograph you tend to add filters. Sometimes you even choose to capture just a certain part of the story without any context surrounding it. However, with a narrative you are able to go into full details, whether personal or real, as well as being able to describe the whole story while also providing stories and examples. We see examples of this in the film “Born into Brothels” by Zana Briski and “Regarding the Pain of Others” by Susan Sontag. The narrative is more important than the image because it has been proven that photographs lose their shock value, but a well-told story will continue to produce an emotional response no matter how many times it is told. In Sontag's "Regarding the Pain of Others" she states that in Canada they would have horrendous images of smokers' lungs on cigarette packs, this would completely disgust the buyer. However, he also said that this shock and disgust would only last for a while and they would eventually start smoking again. (62) Actually, I've seen these images floating around social media sites and they are usually photographed in pastel colors and glitter with the word "kawaii" which means cute in Japanese on the box; It seems like our current generation of smokers has become completely apathetic about our health. Compared to blood, horror, fictional situations and real situations on TV, an image of yellow, rotten teeth will no longer have an effect on people. Seeing advertisements on the train for a woman who had her fingers amputated shocked me halfway......half of the paper......witnesses the Japanese made during the retelling of the forty-seven Ronin; this story touches people because it is part of their culture and history and also because the different ways in which it is told are still capable of producing tears and pain in people's hearts. (62)Photographs also manage to give many points of view but by changing the lighting it could seem as if it was taken at a different time of the day; change the angle and it might look like a completely different thing. While these two elements combined would make a great story, photographs alone are not always sufficient or reliable; could be taken out of context and misinterpreted by the public. Because the fact that photographs are easier and have many ways to be manipulated, doesn't really apply to the ethos, pathos, and logos of a narrative, which is why a narrative is more important to a story..
