The title helped me understand that the guy was actuslly pulling a train. Without the title I would've just thought it was a person suiciding.

The caption helped by telling us what the photograph is about.If there were no caption we would have to guess what the photograph is about.

The text feature that helped us understand was the Photograph. It helped us understand what his pumpkin sculptures look like For example if the text was talking about The statue of liberty it would help by showing a picture so people would Know how it looks like.

the text feature that helped me the most was the illustration. It shows me that the guy is really interested in carving pumpkins and he really loves doing what he does thats why the illustration helps me the most.Another text feature that helped me was the bold print.The bold print helped me because when i didnt know what bellaire meant i right clicked that word and i saw what the defenition was so i knew what the word meant.
