Need help with my writing homework on Text and Pictorial Representation in Media. Write a 1500 word paper answering; For media to be effective, the information or the media texts bears the significant information and is presented in a manner that allows the recipient to understand the information promptly. In this essay, an analysis of a media text is done on the provided media text Time magazine of May 21, 2012 cover page. The media item comprises of an image of a mother breastfeeding an over grown baby and its subject of on attachment parenting leading mothers to extremes.

According to Burn & Parker, (2003, p. 38), Images and text have a complementary relationship and orientation as it is evident from the picture, both point the same way towards the reader. They indicate a dominant theme in the relationship between a mother and a child in developing a cordial relationship. For example, the image links childhood and breastfeeding are represented in the picture page in a semiotically fused mode. The colour represents a youthful nature and the enthusiasm involved in the upbringing of children. On the other hand, the size of the child seems to bring out a new ideology of over-bonding of the mother and the child and the writing, ‘Are you mum enough’ seems to overlook the nature of motherhood and the relationship the two should have. It can be described as a photo looking to caution at the limits that have to be observed and hence the extent to which a mother can and cannot go in bonding with the child.

Primarily, the image on the media emphasizes the argument of being a mum enough to nature a baby to a full grown age where he/she no longer requires much nurturing and parenting, (Gill,&nbsp.2007, 46). The image could also be symbolic in that it shows how odd it feels or it appears for a mother to excessively nurture or breastfeed a child to an age that is unacceptable. Sometimes the mothers extend this care to the fully grown up individuals who can comfortably care for themselves without much of a mother’s or a parent’s attention. In addition, the media communicates the challenge the mothers endure in nurturing a child or a baby to a mature age where they can be on their own.
