1.- The tone in the rhymes is softer and more intended for children while the image has a more strong tone more intended for teens o adults.
2.- The limitation is that there are some implicit things that can only be told with images, in some cases more than is intended with a full chapter.
3.- The limitations of the image as storytelling is that the image alone could show a context different from the one intended in the text.
4.- Not necesarily, it depends in other facts such like, for example, if a fragment is told in it's correct context or in a different context (the fragment can chage its meaning if its told alone without it's previous and post sentences) or if it is translted to a different language where some words could change meaning.

Activity p.167

-Television news report: the use of sarcasm, for example, could cause a complete confusion because the news are a non fiction text so the use of sarcasm will make people not understand if it's a source of trust.
-Television opinion piece: the use of nonstandard pronunciation or the use of jargon starts to low the level of arguing to defend an opinion.
-Newspaper editorial: the use of this features could case the same effect than the T.V. opinion piece, but the people could also think that the newspaper could not be worth reading it.
-Political columnist's blog: the use of such features will be devastating in this case because the politicians and journalist alone have a fragile reputation and the use of this features could make that reputation to break, completely break and make that person, not only as a politician or journalist also an everyday person, little credible and unreliable.
-Celebrity profile in a magazine: these features in this case could make the general public think that celebrity uses this features, in consquence, making the reputation and fame of this person decay so abruptly it could turn in a chaos (it could be general or individually to that person).
-Sports broadcast: the use of some of this features could be negative and some other could be positive in this case because it could attract more attention to the sport, but also could make people think that the sport is not really worth to watch (or listen in the case of radio) and focus on something else.
-Political speech: as I said before, the use of this elements in this case could be devastating because of the unreliability to the politician that will lead (using this features) the politician to be completely unreliable not only as a politician, also as an everyday person.
-Advertisement: this case is probably the most likely to see, and could lead (maybe in a long term) to the bankruptcy of the company, or simply to a massive decay in sales.
