Strongest and weakest questions

My strongest question was question 6 -because it was a basic denotation question - which I am rather good at - I found it easy to identify why its was a film poster.

My weakest question was question 9 because it was a harder question - where we had to identify why producers use kids - but i am not very good at looking for deeper meanings.

Question 9 re-draft
The producer uses children in charity advertisement because it makes the consumer empathetic. If you look at the picture in figure 3 it is just a small child in a hot looking area; however, the connotations are that: the child is malnourished as you can see his collarbone, he is tired as his eyes are droopy and his brows are furrowed. Charities generally use emotive images to boost their charity. Children are associated with innocence and vulnerability which is why they intrigue peoples generosity. 
Children give people the need to protect so this appeals most to parents and attracts their motherly and fatherly instincts as the target audience. The image is quickly recognisable as it is of a familiar place with a well known cause- lack of clean water.  A stereotypical image is used so that the target audience will recognise the stereotype  and donate money to help the cause.
