War

I chose the first photo as I felt that it clearly shows the dire consequences and pain that a war can cause. I will now describe the photo, focusing mainly on the mood and atmosphere of the photo chosen. My objective is to evoke emotions of my reader through the description of the mood and atmosphere of the picture.

The war is still ongoing. However, there are many casualties. The man here is only one of the many. There was probably a bomb which ruthlessly and mercilessly destroyed the whole place and the soldier had no chance at all. The whole place was in total chaos. Imagine the pain of looking at a fellow soldier getting blasted into "smithereens". The two fellow soldiers are seen tending to the dead soldier, probably feeling sad that they had lost a friend. It is a sad scene, and the other soldiers will feel dispirited and low on morale. Not everyone can withstand the pain. Somehow the place seems so dull, so saddening. All the joy had vaporized the moment the soldiers saw their comrade’s dead body. What is the point of winning the war, if so many people had to sacrifice themselves? Anytime, a soldier may be caught unaware, and they will be killed. Life is so fragile, is this what we want? War.
