2.Photo-journalism

News photographers take pictures of wars,riots and disasters.While they are taking photos,they see all difficulties of war conditions by naked eyes.So that they have to make a decision between helping suffering people or just doing their job because of that point I think this type of photographers are the most difficult ones.

Photographer: Charles Porter Date: 1995 Location:USA

This picture is taken in Oklahoma bombing in 19 April 1995. In that picture we see a fireman who hold a dead baby in his hands.This fireman took off his gloves while holding a dead baby.Actually all firefighters use a kind of gloves which preserve their hands from fire but this fireman is very thoughtful because he took off his gloves before hold a baby without thinking she is dead or alive.



1.The Enormous Radio


I want to mention about The Enormous Radio reading text which we all read in first week.In this story there are two important character who are called Jim and İrene Westcott.They really interest with music so they took a radio.After that,strange things started to happen because they heard some noises from radio which belonged to their neighbors.

I have some determinations about this text and I want to arrange them.
  • In this story there is a irony because I started to read a text, I thought this couple are perfect and they have a good marriage.However, at the end of the story I realised they have lots of problems which they haven't talked before.In fact, they are playing the role of happy couples.
  • This two couple do not talk with each other anymore.Jim works all day and when he comes home,he felt tired so he didn't deal with his wife's problems,concerns or thoughts.As a result, Irene overcomes her loneliness by dealing with radio.
  • Jim bought this radio for make his wife happy but this radio brings her unhappiness and she became depressed when she learned every truths about her neighbors.
  • They have economical problems but Irene didn't aware of that until Jim warned her.
