american soldier q&r's



A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshows? Why?


    The image that I thought was the most powerful is photo number 14 because you can notice how he looks like  he is unsure about his decision about joining the military.

B. Through the photos, Ian is in different locations, each set of photos from the same location comprise a short series or set. 

Which set of images was the most powerful? Why?      
    
     The set of images that I thought were the most powerful was set number 2. They way that you can see the transaction from his life as a civilian to a soldier was really powerful. You can see it in his face in some of the pictures that he realizes the change as well.

C. How do the images work together to tell a story?

     The images are set in a chronological order from beginning to end to tell the story.




Underneath each photo is a caption that ran through the Denver Post.

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?


      Majority of the photos are written in Present tense.

B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?

    They can add story and background to the pictures to help the viewer visualize what is going on and possibly how it happened.




Now its your turn to write a few captions - DO NOT COPY THEIR WRITING

A. Write three of your own captions to photos without looking at the caption written by the photographer. Be sure they are written in the following form. For this assignment you can make up names and facts to write your captions.

1. Joe looks around curiously about the small amount of people that arrived at the Recruiting Station in Louisville, South Carolina on July 27, 2009. (photo 8)

2. Tevin runs to join the battalion in morning P.T. at the Army Training facility. (photo 13)

3. Joe smokes a cigarette, waiting for an engineering team to come and help fix vehicle problems early in the morning during a mechanized infantry march out in the field of the Army Training Facility.
