“What is Multimodality? How would you define Modes? What is the tension between Kress and Wysocki’s view of multimodality?

Multimodality is using multiple modes to express your opinion and get your ideas out through differents mediums such as news, videos, and other versions of media it gives the opportunity to see things a from a different perspective. I would define modes as being a different outlet to get things out through videos, books,documentaries. It's pretty a different way to communicate different ways to express yourself. The tension between Kress and Wysocki is that keeps believes in using one or more modes to get the point out and to express yourself a lot easier but Wysocki believes that it doesn't matter how many modes you use as long as you use it the right way and that it lines up with the Multimodality. Using different modes is a great way to catch the readers eye. The reader is probably tired of pen and paper and using modes is a way to change the readers mind on things. This gets the reader out of the boring stage and able to interact and see things differently.
