Based on the principle that every image carries a narrative; we relied in this study on the narrative semiotics to decipher its meanings. This led us through the extended arguments to uncover a variety of rhetorical figures such as comparison, metaphors, meronymy, and metonymy – the common figures of speech used in linguistic discourse to influence the addressee and direct them towards the intended destination.
