american soldier

1. The most powerful image to me I think is the one of Ian and his army buddies sitting on a bed hugging. I think that's the most powerful because I forget that they make friends in the army and that when they go into war, they are risking their lives and you might lose your friend. You never know if that'll be your last goodbye.

image 28- back home

3. The set of image that I find the most powerful is the one in basic training because you can see him transform. You can see him go from the way he was back home in Denver to him transforming into a soldier, in a completely different environment and turning into a completely different person. You can se him preparing for what is coming.

4. The images work to tell a story by showing where he starts in the beginning, back at home getting ready to go to the army, to him going to the training. In the training you get to watch him transform and get ready to go to Iraq. The next part of the story is seeing him Iraq and you get to see that his training is put to the test and you see him do what he was trained for, then after all that you get to see him go home.

5. The verbs are in past tense
