What people & objects do you see? I see what look like American Soldiers and Military boats
What is the setting and season? The setting is on the beach of Normandy. It looks like it is the summer season.
Is it posed or candid? It is candid because the soldeirs are getting ready to go into battle and are not posed.
What do you know about this time period or event? I know during this time that World War 2 was goin on and up until this battle the Allies were losing and the Axes were winning until this battle turned the tide of the war.
What can you conclude about the photographer’s intention? Why did the photographer take this photo in this way? I can conclude that the photogrpahor was actually there during the D-Day. I think the photographor took it this way because he wanted to show the audience what it feels like as you are getting prepared to fight.
What can you conclude about other people’s reaction to this image? I think that other people would probably see the smoke and think that it was a chaotic places with people dying everywhere.
What, if any, kind of historical impact, social awareness, or call to action may have resulted by the publicity of this photo? It got people wanting to help the soldiers out by probably signing up for the army.
This picture makes me feel very sad because the soldiers know they might not come back home.
