American Soldier
A. I think the most powerful image is the one of Ian Fisher is praying with his head in his hands because it shows the struggles he is going through but also how he copes with them.
B. The images show Ian's journey in the army and they capture all the different emotions, struggles, etc. that he was going through.
C. The captions enhance the photos because they go deeper into the meaning that the photo has and helps you understand exactly what is going on.
D. Ian Fisher joined the army in June 2007 and left to go begin training. During training, Ian faced many struggles and suffered from many injuries. However, Ian finished his initial training and begin training for Iraq. Throughout his training, Ian faced many difficulties but also accomplished a lot. Now that Ian was training so close to home, he was seeing his friends and family over the weekends and kept getting punished. Eventually, Ian was deployed to Iraq and was there for a year. When Ian got back from Iraq he and his girlfriend decided to get married.
E. When Ian is the main focus of the photo, the verbs in the caption are usually written in present tense.
F.
1. On average, the captions are 2-3 sentences long.
2. The first sentence of the caption usually provides what is visibly going on in the photo.
3. The second sentence of the caption usually provides other information that you wouldn't be able to know from just looking at the photo.
4. The third sentence of the caption usually includes a quote or more background information.
5. Yes, some captions include a quote.
6. Yes, a few of the captions have 4 sentences.
G. I think it is possible to tell a whole story with just a photo and a caption because photos can show things that you can't put into words and the captions explain things that aren't super obvious in the photo.
H. Even though you can create a story with just a photo and caption, writing a whole story can provide you with more details that you may not include in the caption because you don't want it to be super duper long.
