Visual arguments can be more persuasive than other arguments depending on what the author is trying to argue. The explicit and implicit arguments were good examples of how the pictures and visuals can be taken the wrong way. A visual argument would hit people on more of an emotional level because they can see what the author is trying to convey.The reader could misinterpret the argument and then the author is not passing on the information they were hoping to give to others. Our society uses more visual arguments now than they used to, but it can be hard to figure out exactly what the author wants the reader to gain from the argument.  The advantage of another type of argument is that it can be fleshed out better and tell the reader exactly what the author wants them to know about the argument at hand.
