American Soldier

A.) I Think Picture 30 Was The Most Powerful Because Ian Is  Standing There Around All The Other Soldiers & While They're All Getting Ready, He's Just Standing. I Think He Might Be Admiring Himself For His Accomplishment.

B.) Set #1 At home in denver Image #1 - #9
     Set #2 At basic training Images #10-#29
     Set #3 in Iraq images #51-#70
     Set #4 back in denver#31-#48 & #71-#83
I think the most powerful set was when he was training, because he was becoming the solider that he became in the end.

C.) They tell a story by showing where he started & led up to how his life now is.

3.) A.) Past Tense
     B.)  They Describe & give the audience a better understanding of the photo.

5.) -It Shows & expresses Their Feelings & thoughts more form their perspective, not the journalists.
    -Videos Give You A more inside look of the characters & their actual personalities then what you would see in pictures & in The DenverPosts They have colorado video which explains what might interest you.
   -Photos are better because they're brief & in the DenverPost, They have Media Center Galleries Which is really eye catching & interesting.
