When reading this article I found that the way the author describes multimodality, multisemiotics and multiliteracies in a practical way. He was able to take what the truths behind our everyday thinking process was and apply it to learning and experiencing things in life. No matter what it is that we are looking at for instance the basic reading of this article you are using all three of these techniques to better interpret and understand the point behind it. The beauty of the mind is it has the ability to break down and reconstruct ideas and thoughts and even our feelings on certain situations.
I find that I enjoy the evaluation of miltimodality, multisemiotics and multiliteracies because I one day want to become a teacher and I personally am a hands on reader and this theory is everything that is essential to teaching young minds. It is hard for teachers to get students to grasp what a topic is and have it really stick with them. Yet this theory allows the student to think "outside the box." Everyone thinks differently and feels differently about everything. 'i may run over a cat with my car, and I would cry. But perhaps someone who is a big jerk, and may be allergic to cats, is happy that there is one less cat for them to sneeze at.
No matter what the situation the beauty of it all is that the interpretation of any situation is based on the person that is experiencing it. Yet the multi-s is a good way to characterize the importance of the thinking process, that we all use in our every day experiences.

I really enjoy the comparison between the cat "lover" and the cat "hater". It's a really good example that gets right to the point. It shows that everyone may think about and value things in completely different ways.
