     After watching the video, I didn't feel anything. I'm not that good at discerning at what I should feel after watching the video. I watched it as if it is an obligation and even if I watched it on my own accord, I would still feel nothing. I do not even have a personal story that is relevent to the theme of the video.


     The signifier is the photograph and the signified is the memories. The reason why the signifier is the photograph and the signified is the memories because in the video, you can see that Ahmad is looking at the photo of his mother holding him when he was a child, this is the time where he is longing to see his mother again.


     The importance of semiotics in my life and as a future communication practicioner is that it can help me identify the meaning of different things in life. Even if the thing is small, it can hold a huge meaning. This could help me in ways to get a hold of a lead that can improve in my line of work in the future.
