connotations:
the text font size if very big compared to everything else so that could have emphasis on how important this issue is. looking from the walls it looks like it is made from stones and mud so you can tell they are in poverty to show us that the less fortunate need things we need that we get for free.

analysis:
The phrase "dig toilets not graves" shows that they have a lack of toilets leaving the area they live in unsanitary and not a nice place to live.The phrase also shows that they live in poverty as they don't have something as common as a toilet.
