#4 Photographs

This is a picture taken after the shooting that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School. In this picture the children were being led to a nearby fire station for safety until their parents could be contacted. Just before this photograph was taken, an armed man entered the school. He killed 20 first-graders and six educators. The children in the photograph are all scared and confused. Most are seen crying and all seem upset. The officials in the photograph, who are helping to keep the children in the line, appear to be determined to get the children to safety but also affected by the events that had occurred prior to the photograph. Outside the frame of this photo, parents are shocked and scared to see if their children were affected. Some are also grieving that their children would not be returning to them. This photograph evokes feelings of pain and sorrow for those families whose lives were drastically changed that day. However, this photo also evokes certain passions to take actions to remove the chances of this ever happening again.
