American Soldier

A. I feel like the most powerful image from the slideshow was the one where he is isolated from everyone else and sitting down with his shaved head. It really shows his vulnerability and the difficulty of transitioning into the military.

Set 1: At home
image #1 to image #3

Set 2: basic training
image #4 to #7

Set 3: Iraq
image #8 to #27

C. Set 3 was the most powerful because it had way more action and it truly visualized what he went through as a soldier.

D. The images work together to tell a story by giving a precise beginning, middle, and end. You can clearly see what's going on the images because time is progressing through.

E. The verbs are typically written in present tense.

F. The captions enhance the photographs by giving more background for the reader in each picture.
