This image is about a soldier named Terri Gurrola the captain and now was th doctor of their team who is reunited with her daughter after serving in Iraq for 7 months. She meet her daughter on the 11th of September 2007 at Atlanta airport. Her daughter named Gaby was only two when she leave her so she was afraid that Gaby would forget who she was. Terri Gurrola tosses herself to the floor to embrace her kid. She turned out to be so passionate to embrace and see her little girl again. She was crying tears of delights for the fact that Gaby hadn 't forgotten her after 7 month away from her. I think the message of this still image is that the soldier needs to sacrifices a lot of stuff in order to protect us all. In this picture, Terri Gurrola had to leave her 2 years old daughter. Being out there was difficult for her, not only because she was missing her daughter terribly, but because she was the only woman in the entire battalion. If you are a soldier than your first priority is your job not your family. I feel sorry for the mom because she had to stay away from her daughter since she was a soldier and have to protect her country and all of us but I am really sad …show more content…

I know this since Terri Gurrola is hugging her daughter Gaby so tightly and crying. This picture mainly frames Terri Gurrola and Gaby and in the background there is someone 's legs. The camera shot in this picture is eye level mid shot because it shows us the perfect facial reactions of the soldier. they didn 't take a close-up because than the viewer won 't be able to tell what 's going on and what is their body language. The camera angle used in this image is low camera angle because they want the viewer to focus on the soldier (Terri Gurrola) and the kid (Gaby) and since the soldier is on hr knee hugging the kid, they had to take it from low

In war, there is no clarity, no sense of definite, everything swirls and mixes together. In Tim O’Brien’s novel named “The Things They Carried”, the author blurs the lines between the concepts like ugliness and beauty to show how the war has the potential to blend even the most contrary concepts into one another. “How to Tell a True War Story” is a chapter where the reader encounters one of the most horrible images and the beautiful descriptions of the nature at the same time. This juxtaposition helps to heighten the blurry lines between concepts during war. War photography has the power to imprint a strong image in the reader’s mind as it captures images from an unimaginable world full of violence, fear and sometimes beauty.

In our film, Misfortune of Death, Cinco, Franco, and Leon filmed the character Paul looking up in the sky, after the wounded soldier he tried to help passed away in a trench during a war. They used cinematic techniques such as a high angle and tilt from the character Paul’s point of view to show that war can take away people’s souls, therefore leaving them weak and vulnerable. Their usage of the high angle focuses on the soldier being a weak, powerless, and defenseless person that was consumed by the war. The tilt, on the other hand, was implemented to display details that reveal the concept of the soldier character being helpless, while also showing the plot, which in this case would be the character Paul looking from the body up to the sky.

The relationships that intertwine with each other in the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald all have motivations for either Love, Desire, or Sex.

With war photography a photo isn’t just a image it is a trace of reality, an experience that was captured ,or even a moment. War photography is like an art that gives importance to real life events and also makes them worth remembering after you take them. When you take a photo it 's about telling the reality of that photo, about showing what others may not see, to make them aware of it though the images come from the media. However, when the photo serves as informing the world we find ourselves facing the world to see if it 's true or if it 's not true. If people could be there to see it for themselves, the fear and grief for just one time in their life, they would understand that nothing is worth letting things get to the point to where people get hurt but everyone can’t be there, so that 's why photographers go there to show them, to reach out, or to grab them and make them realize what 's happening to the world or to even pay attention to what is going on, to create a powerful picture to overcome the effects of the mass media and to shake people out of their indifferences that they have against each other.

As a tv reporter who has traveled worldwide, I believe that the photograph “The Napalm Girl” published in the New York Times on June 9th 1972 expresses the reality on what is happening during wars to children. With this letter, I would like to express my deep concerns that this picture should be known globally to spread awareness of the human capacity of atrocity. I understand that this type of picture may shock some people. However, I think that looking at this type of photograph is the only way to inform people of the conditions of some young children. “The Napalm Girl” is a worldwide known emotional photograph taken by Nick Ut on June 8th 1972.
