Soldiers of War
MAIN POINT:
This photo humanizes the man in this photograph showing that soldiers are not just statistics in wars but actually have lives and are affectionate towards others.
-
The background of sandbags indicate hardship. Anytime sandbags are present in photography or in the movie industry it usually means disaster coming from floods, wars and/or riots.
It can also be noted that he is in a trench. Throughout history trenches have never been a good thing for the lives of people so seeing something so innocent taking place in a historically terrible place gives this photo a level of sympathy for the man.
Although its hard to see on this website the faces of both the man and the kitten say alot about this photograph. The man is squinting and has a very stern focused look on his face while the newborn kitten's eyes are glued shut and its mouth is open begging for food giving the cat that innocence of being alone in the world just as the man is. This shwos how the man and the cat are not so different from eachother because each are removed from their homes and thrown into a world of uncertianty and pain.

DIFFERENCES
the kitten one shows the sad effects war has on the innocent while the other is a symbol of hope for the soldiers
one is black and white indicating sadness and simplicity and the other has vibrant color where if it was also black and white its message would differ
MAIN POINT: This photo gives off the sense that the soldier is alone in the war grasping of anything that would remind him of home
SIMILARITIES

-
subject of the photo is focused on and background is blurred with the intention of the audience focusing on the subject of the photos
The rubble in the background of this photo shows the wretchedness of the war and how it devours everything in its path
The soldiers seems to be stooped over the piano as if he was focused intently on the keys hoping to take his mind of the war taking place.
It can also be noted that he is playing on the low end of the piano indicating a sad and deeper song is being played from the piano
Something interesting is that the piano seems to be new due to the fact that it still has its layer of stain giving off a slight reflective sheen. In this photo it symbolizes hope for the soldier playing and for those who are listening to him. This great conditioned piano in the middle of a rubble filled patch is a beacon to remind the soldiers of those they're fighting for.
