American Soldier

A. I think the most powerful image in the slideshow is the image of Ian being reunited with his girlfriend after he survived the war.
B.
Set 1 - at home  - Image #1 to Image 4 
Set 2 - basic training - Image #4 to Image 20
Set 3 - in Iraq - Image 20 to Image 27
In Image #28 he is back at home in Denver

C.
The set of images that were the most powerful was set 2. Set 2 had the most powerful pictures because the pictures showed Ians transition into a soldier. 
D. The images worked together to tells the story by showing the pictures in the order that Ian lived them. 
E. The verbs are usually written in past tense.
F.
The captions enhance the photographs by giving the images a very dramatic backstory. 
G.
After Ian graduated high school, he decided to join the army. he said goodbye to his friend and family and shipped out only 2 weeks after his high school graduation. He went to boot camp, encountering Intense physical training and high-decibel harassment. He soon realized that he had entered ''a new and different culture.'' After his 14 weeks, Ian could finally put his training to use in Iraq.  After he fights for his country, Ian is welcomed home by his friends and family.
