 ==== How to test an illustration====
 "A picture is worth a thousand words." This saying means that a lot of information is easily conveyed in a picture. When considering an illustration, ask what information does it contain? If I were to describe the picture in words, would it be telling the truth?
-For example, (insert common picture) Noah's ark was a tiny boat that looks like a toy. When standing in their places, the giraffes, elephants, and dogs could look out over the top deck of the ark. Not many animals or people would fit inside.
+  * Example 1a: The common cartoon of Noah's ark-- Noah's ark was a tiny boat that looks like a toy. Two oars are sticking out of the boat, so Noah's family can row the boat to shore. The giraffes, monkeys, and dogs peek out the windows of the ark, or stand on its upper deck. Not many animals or people would fit inside.
-Compare that to (insert realistic picture), Noah's ark was an immense ship several hundred feet long. The animals cannot be seen, because the door was shut, and there was only one window. The top of the ship was closed in so that the ship did not get filled with water during the tremendous flood.
+  * Example 1b: A realistic picture according to the biblical description-- Noah's ark was an immense ship several hundred feet long. The animals cannot be seen, because the door was shut, and there was only one window. The top of the ship was closed in so that the ship did not get filled with water during the tremendous flood.
