Claim- Images in texts are integrated into textbooks, newspapers, and magazines and are holding more and more weight in modern days.
Evidence- "In many modern high school and college textbooks in the sciences, images not only take up more space, they now carry meanings that are independent of the words in the text." (p. 13).
Opinion- I agree with this statement because I know that for me, an author can say something in a hundred different ways, but then it just clicks as soon as I see a diagram/picture. This is especially true in science subjects.
Claim- It is important for people to undertsand that there are different meanings between different specific situations within a domain; therefore games have multiple meanings.
Evidence- "Elements in the content of Pikmin do not have just one general meaning or significance in the game world." (p. 40).
Opinion- I am not really sure how I feel about this. I guess I can kind of understand what he is saying, that in games people can view things differently, but then again I think that a small percentage of players see things that way. Most probably see it in one dimention, which is probably how the game creator meant for it to be.
