Photo journalism is a popular way to help convey the message of what is being written. As the saying foes, a picture speaks a thousand words.Photo journalism is effective because it helps the audience to understand better and also helps the audience find emotion towards a particular thing. When looking at the photo's from the Vietnam War we begin to feel shock, horror, disbelief that something like this could occur and many other emotions as well.
When you war first comes into your mind, you often think guns, trenches and dead bodies. But through the use of photo journalism, it allows you to dig deeper and really find out more. When looking at some of the photo's you can see the emotion on the soldiers and innocent civilians faces when they see what is going on. Their eyes tell a whole story, when we can only see a little bit. Through this you can see how heartbreaking, and horrible war really is.
In the song 'i was only nineteen' you can feel the emotion through the use of imagery. The artist of the song uses descriptive language that you can almost see what is going on. This is effective because, although it is not a photo and you don't know exactly what is going on, you have a picture in your head of your visualization and that is just as powerful.
Through the photo's and song about the Vietnam War I now know that is was a heartbreaking, cruel and horrible war that never should of occurred. Many people lots their lives, and many of these people way to young. Through the use of photo journalism I can now see that a simple picture is a powerful thing and it really does speak a thousand words.

'The Man He Killed'
1. The poem 'The Man He Killed' was written in 1902. The poem specifically addresses the Boer War, which Hardy was vehemently against.
2.The aspect of war that this poem is explores the relationship between two soldiers from different countries in battle. When the soldiers are fighting in war they are told who to shoot and who the enemy is. The soldiers aware told that they are the enemy and they must kill them, even though the soldier doesn't know what they are fighting for. They have no problem with the other team but they are brainwashed into thinking that the other team is the enemy. The poem then goes on to tell you that if you had met any of these people in different situation things could have been different and they could have been mates instead of enemies.
3. The tone/feelings and emotions play an important part in the poem because they help convey the message. In the poem the emotion and feeling is regret, sorrow and confusion. The emotion of regret and sorrow is displayed because it shows how war is sad and that he had no choice but to shoot the man because it was his life was at risk. The feeling of confusion is displayed when the poem says, 'I shot him dead because-- Because he was my foe,' This shows that he didn't really know why he shot him other then the reason that he was told to.
4. The three poetic techniques used in the poem are repitition, rhyme and alliteration. The use of repitition is used in the line, 'I shot him dead because-- Because he was my foe,' and in the start of the fifth stanza with the words 'yes, you and you'd.' Rhythm is used in the poem for example 'face and place,' and 'perhaps and traps.' Lastly, alliteration is used in the last line when it says the words 'help' and 'half' and the phrase, 'half-a-crown.' The techniques are effective because they convey the message and help give meaning and feeling to the way the soldiers feels at war.
'Men in Green'
1. The poem 'Men in Green' was written in 1944. The poem specifically addresses World War II.
2. The aspect of war in this poem explores how hard war can be. The poem shows you the hardships and struggle soldiers face on a day to day basis. The poem at first tells you how the soldiers had no idea what they had gotten into and how they realise that war is not just a holiday that is something so much worse.
3. The tone/feelings and emotions displayed in the poem are fear of death, horror, shock and scared. These four emotions and feeling are displayed throughout the whole poem. The soldiers are constantly horrified by their surroundings and the obstacles that they have to face.
4. The three poetic techniques in the poem are personification, rhythm and alliteration. Personification is used in the lines, 'till the ripped jungle underneath,' and 'where two white paws of cloud.' Rhyme is used in the poem in the phrases, 'gazed and raised,' and 'lie and eye. Lastly, alliteration was used a lot throughout the poem for example, 'hundred hissing.' These techniques are effective because they help convey the message of how hard and sad war can truly be.
Question 5
I believe the poem 'The Man He Killed' is much more effective then the poem 'Men in Green.' i believe this because the poem 'The Man he Killed' describes a soldiers day at war and the hardship he faces. Whilst the poem "Men in Green' simply describes how war works and the things that happen. In the poem "The Man He Killed' the phrases 'I shot him dead because-- Because he was my foe,' and 'You shoot a fellow down, You'd treat, if met where any bar is,' are good examples to support my decision of why the poem 'The Man He Killed' is more effective. These are good examples because it tells you that if the soldiers weren't on the battle field and met in a bar they could have become good friends but because they were from different countries and on the battlefield they were told to shot each other. The poem 'Men in Green' displayed a completely different message that is not as strong. It simply tells you how 15 men come to war and 15 men die at war. It does not go into the emotions that the poem 'The Man He Killed does. Therefore, the poem 'The Man He Killed' is much more effective because of the message it conveys.
