American Soldier

2)A. I think the most powerful image in the slide show is in the "signing up" chapter when Ian hugs his friends before he leaves for the army. It has a powerful emotion to it. Ian is crying he will not know if he will make it back alive to see his friends and family again.
 B. The sequence of the pictures from chapter to chapter create a feel of fear and hope.  It makes you think about the important things in life and what we take for granted.
C. The photos work together to tell the story about the experience that Ian Fisher went through from graduating high school and going on to the military.
3)A. present tense
B. The captions enhance the photo in such a way that it tells you what year it was and what is about to happen to Ian.
4)A. Ian Fisher is think about his not so hopeful future in Iraq as he is about to sign up while rehearsing the things for graduation.
5) A The videos give the the photos and extensive about of detail and understanding behind them when you watch the video.
B. Videos are better than photographs in that they explain to you what is going on rather that an individual having to make an inference or you having to give an opinion of what is going on.
C. Photos are better than photographs in that they allow a person to really think about what the picture is implying and the mood that it sets. It encourages you to use your critical thinking skills.
