American Soldier

A. I think the most powerful image is the huge farewell photo which captures Ian saying goodbye to loved ones before he goes off. I think this is the most powerful image because of the story behind it. You can see the fear in his eyes and you can tell from his expression he is going to miss his family and friends.

B. Together these images tell a story. They create powerful visuals for what it is like leaving everything behind to serve for your country.

C. The captions add to the story by telling readers what is happening in the photo that are not already apparent.

D. At a young age Ian Fisher decides he wants to join the military and after being recruited, starts his journey as an American soldier.

F. Captions

1. 2 sentences on average
2. †hey provide information about what is happening in the photo
3. They provide information that is not included in the photo
4. They include quotes in the third sentence.
5. Yes they do in the third sentence
6. Yes 

G. I think some of the emotions in the photos are very strong and help tell a powerful story.

H. I think the story tells you things the photos and captions don't. It helps you fill in the spaces and create images in your head that are not provided.
