The book talks about images and how they are used and copied by others like in the case with Art Rogers and his piece called Puppies (210). This reminds me a little about the copying of not necessarily an image but a symbol known as the Swastika. The Swastika symbol was used by many religious groups and was taken by the Nazis in Germany and for me the symbol brings bad connotations because of how it represented the Nazi group. Also in the book it talks about Cuban revolutionary icon Che and how his image was used, and by simply putting words next to an image can alter its meaning like it also did with Che (201, 203). Images have so many different meanings, and just by altering an image or making it represent something else can drastically change its meaning to the viewer depending on what how and why its used.
