American Soldier (Slideshow & Captions)


1)
A. The most powerful photo is when his family is crying when they are watching him leave. It's sad because other people are upset.
B.

  • SET 1: #1-#7
  • SET 2: #8-#50
  • SET 3: #50-#70
  • SET 4: #71-#83
- I think set #2 at the Basic Training. I personally believe that set was the most powerful and difficult for Ian
C.  All photos help tell the story because each one has a role to play and they show different events that has happened. From the time that he had left to being in Iraq and returning back home to his love ones.
3)
A.
The verbs are mostly written in past tense in the text underneath the photos.  B.The text underneath enhances the photos by telling and describing what is happening in the picture above.
4)

A. 


Image 18- Ian holds his bag above his head with his fellow soldier as a result of failing to complete the instructed drill on time. 
Image 33- Ian heads to his new home away from home in the barracks after finishing his in-processing  earlier in the day.




Image 76- Ian's father holds up a welcome home sign above his head at Fort Carlson welcoming his son home after a 5 month deployment in Iraq. 

5. 

A. These other features enhance the photograph so that it is brighter and more realistic.
    

B. Videos are better than photographs when you want to hear what the person actually went through and not just see it. For example when Ian was getting scolded by his sergeant most people would want to hear that and not just see it.
C. Photos are better when there's something that could be left unsaid. For example when Ian was in counseling thats something some people don't want to watch.
