American Soldier

2.)
    A.) I believe the picture were The general is yelling at Ian and Ian is staring at him. Located in the "In the Army" category is a very powerful photo because you can see the fear in Ian's face. It is like a reality check for Ian.
    B.)The most powerful sequence of photos are the pictures in "In Country" because these images show the viewer what it is really like to be in the army, step by step.
    C.) Each picture tells a story itself and the all of the images are in an order where they each combine to tell one big story.

3.)
    A.) The captions are written in third person, and in present tense
    B.) Sometimes the viewer can't understand what the subject is doing in the photo, so captions helps the viewer get a better understanding of it.

4.)
    1.) 1st photo in "Coming Home"-Ian father tries to get in contact with Ian while waiting frantically with his wife for Ian to arrive at the New County Airport from Iraq.
    2.) 5th photo in "Coming Home"-On Ian first day back home the family eats Ian's favorite pepperoni pizza from a local pizza parlor called "Good Eats"
    3.) 3rd photo in "In Country" - Ian prays before eating his Thanksgiving dinner with his fellow crew members in the Cafeteria.

5.)
   A.) You get a more in depth look at the photo.
   B.) Videos are better than pictures because you are listing to the subjects speak about how they felt at the time and It gives you a different view on the photo, this helps you better understand what the photo is about.
   C.) Photos are better than videos because when you are looking at you interpret the photo how you want to interpret it, and by watching a video it can change you whole perception of a photo.
