American Soldier




A. the most powerful image I think was this one because this is showing them practicing for war and how they adapt to explosions and what they would do. This I think is powerful because a lot of people die in war because of explosions and I think its horrible and we need to stand behind those people in war and help them with food and supplies so they can focus on training for war.






B.The images work together by telling a story of what a soldier goes through in war. Like missing their family and can't talk, but only with notes and training with explosions and figuring out how to survive them. Also how much way they travel to get to war and then fighting. They must get tired and need food also and supplies on the way and thats hard to carry.

C.The captions are kinda showing what they are going to talk about. Also all the pictures are in order and show the preparing to go to war, saying goodbye, meeting new people, starting to train, walking for days, starting to fight. All those things are like the captions because they are showing the picture and the caption and makes so many more details to the story including the caption, photo, and writing.
D. The story of Ian Fisher is he first signed up for way to serve his country and help the people and fight for his country. The army changed Ians life forever he was risking his life to fight for other people and the country. He had to say goodbye to everyone he loved just in case he would not survive  the war and it was hard for him t do that at age 17 he joined the war. He then graduated school with a diploma and if he didn't have his diploma he would not have been able to join the army. He then said goodbye to his family and friends by having 2 parties one with his family with ice cream and cake and the other with his friends and girlfriend and they had beer and it was like a regular teenage party(crazy). He then took an oath of enlistment and they he serves all his duty to the army and no going back and helping hid country. He then was at camp and the sergeant was very stern with them though he had to be. The 200 recruiting people are given 2 minutes to sort through pile of duffel bags to find their own. They repeated this for the next hour until everyone found their bag. Fisher was really overwhelmed with this and we hurt his elbow and it hurt really bad but he had to go through it to go to base training. One guy Fishers bunkmate was getting them in trouble at base camp so they ad a talk with him and Fisher was being super nice to him even though he didn't care about Fisher. The first time Fisher held a weapon he was very excited and made pretend of making fire sounds. They training and learning how to fight in war. They practiced with explosions and how to survive them and what to do. The sergeant took an interest in Fisher and was tease him sometimes and encourage him while they were walking and getting tired. A long time has past and they are tired and Fisher is praying that god takes this stuff off his back. After this they are done with training camp and are getting a ceremony for completing it and are ready to start fighting in the war. They end up having a practice war to make sure their ready to fight and that they are not going to hurt themselves and they are ready. They also had to do a 10 mile walk with carrying a 65 pounds on their back. After training for a while he goes home to his girlfriend and he wants to marry her so they pick out a engagement ring. At his base camp and he has been starting to fight he has been injured a lot so he hasn't been able to fight as much as he wants to. He ends up going home and breaks up with his girlfriend and starts taking medication to so many injuries he has had and his dad is concerned. Fishers base is so close to home so he comes home every weekend but his dad says he should just stay there for a while and needs to get away from home and focus on the war. Fisher got in trouble for not reporting to his base back in time in last march so he was punished and he can't fight right know. Fisher is sometimes at home with his friends and family and them at one point at the army and he doesn't feel like he fits in either way and is trying to decide what he wants. After this he goes into many fights and then goes home years later with his fiane Deven and they got their marriage license and got married hours later.

E. The pictures are in present tense because they are all happening now.

F.Break down the captions
1.There are about 2 sentences as a average maybe once there are about 3 in some captions.
2.They provide what is happening in the photo and what time it was about or summarize of what the story of that caption is about.
3.The 2 sentence provides background information in the photo.
4.Some of them do have third ones and they are usually quotes.
5.Yes some of them do with 3 sentences.
6.Only the top of the article has one.

G. It is like a little summary and you can make a story with just looking at pictures and having the captions with them is even better because it helps with telling a story.
H. The photos and captions show a story of its own and helps a lot without the story being told with a long paragraph.
