American Soldier

This is the most powerful picture to me because it shows the soldier praying that things will get better for him. 

These images tell a story because they are in a sequence from before recruitment all the way to when he came home. It shows the daily things that he went through like trainings.

The captions explain what is happening in each photo.

Ian Fisher was 17 and he told his parents he was going to join the military. Shortly after he graduated he did just so.  He had two different types of going away parties before he left. He also had to be medically evaluated.  He then was stationed at Fort Benning, GA, where he went through basic training. He socialized with others in his bunking area. He was even assigned an M16. He started to train for raids. Then he was stationed at Fort Carson for more training. He trains out in the Mojave desert for a while, he was there for 12 months. He got one week off, and his dad warned him about drug abuse. Ian took many weekends off, he went to games, helped friends, and even got baptized. Ian was soon deployed.  he had to deal with many different incidents, trainings, and parties. He called people back home.

Most are written in present tense, but some are in past tense.

They are all 1 or 2 sentences.

They start by saying who it is and what they are doing. 

The second sentence usually is what is happening, and other times it was background information.

The third sentence of the caption usually gives background information.

Yes some include quotes.

The most amount of sentences is 3. 

I think you can tell a full story with pictures and captions, because the pictures give us insight on the event, and the caption explains it and gives us background.

You should write a story to give all the information and full story. The pictures and caption will give a story but it will have missing parts, unlike a full story
