happen can trigger emotions inside of us back to that moment. Our minds start to wonder what happened or what didn’t happen. In Barbie Zelizer’s “The Voice of The Visual in Memory” she addresses how images can play a role in a person’s collective memory.

People use images on the internet‚ books‚ magazines‚ newspapers etc‚ because images capture specific moments in time that we can always look back on and see that
