Individual Photo Analysis
Picture 1:
This photo shows four boys riding their bikes on a rural road while doing the Hitler
salute as they are raising their right arms in the air. The photographer was probably trying to
show how Hitler influenced his people no matter what age they were. This photograph is
important to history as it shows how powerful and persuading a leader Hitler really was. This
photo makes me wonder just how many people were behind Hitler and were actually against
his ways. A caption for this photograph would be, four young men ride their bikes while
showing support for Adolf Hitler. To find more information on this photo, you could search
databases of photos from this time period in Europe.
Picture 2:
This photo show a large group of soldiers resting and posing for the camera somewhere
in what looks to be a desert environment. The photographer was probably trying to show how
soldier pass the time and rest when they aren’t in active combat. This photograph is important
to history because it shows how life was for soldiers and how when they did get time to relax
that they took advantage of it. This photo brings up the questions of who these men are with,
and where they are. To find answers to these questions, you could search photo of American
soldiers in the middle to late 1900’s. I’m guessing they are American soldiers for the diversity
that is between them. A caption for this photo could be, Soldiers enjoy the past time of war
while posing for the camera.
Picture 3:
This photo shows a large group of men on a street corner pouring out some liquid on
the streets. The photographer was probably trying to show a piece of the early 1900’s probably
during the prohibition. This photo is important in history because it shows how the prohibition
changed the American people and caused them to pour out their alcohol. This brings up the
question as to why exactly they are pouring it out and what the emotions on their faces mean.
You could find more information on the photo by searching the prohibition and if the law
required that the alcohol be poured out. A caption for this photo could be, American public
react to new prohibition laws.
