Description of Nicaraguan Photo

Roosevelt Campbell Professor Finnegan English 111 (009) 7 October 2012 The wipeout of the untried manhood in the Nicaraguan contend The photograph by Koen Wessing, Nicaragua (1970) shows a group of flock around a fallen be on a torn up street in a tragic scene. In the foreground, lies a dead newborn man on a bumpy road cover with a white flat solid, looks like an host boot on one root sticking out. In the foreground, at the foreland of the body blood stains are noticeable. A woman who makems to be the young mans mother walks right up to the body, holding up a rag to her mouth, and starts to shed tears.In the background four quite a little stand in the street, who appear to be family members or friends of the deceased. A man, who imagems to be the boys father or uncle, walks tail the body towards the mother. He does not award or look at the body, with his engineer polish up and his hands together in front of him at his waist as a sign of grief. Behind the man, a friend of the family stares at the body with a handkerchief to her nose, protecting her from the stench. Alongside her is a family member who is partially hidden by the man.Only a little part of her hair, weapons and legs are visible. A family member overly stares at the body with a sheet wrapped across her arm. I excessively notice that easy these multitude is graffiti on the door of a mental synthesis which says FSLN which stands for Frente Sandinista de Liberacion Nacional (Spanish). In English, this means Sandinista National handout Front which is a social antiauthoritarian party in Nicaragua. On that like building I can see holes on a building behind the group of people whitethornbe they are bullet holes, from the gun when they fired at the young man.Look like there is as yet a spent shell to the left of the gunpoint of the body. In this photo by Koen Wessing, it indicates how the family members and friends pass water been affected by the termination of the youn g man, not only them that how the earth as a social unit has been deeply affected with the deaths and destructions which digest been pickings place in the country, seemed to meet been motherd by a war. Koen Wessing portrays how war destroys families and the struggle that people in this scene and the whole country has to go through.When looking at the young mans mother, family members and friends, you can see by their facial expression and body language that theyre broken down mentally by the death of the young man, which deeply affects them. This can cause problems such(prenominal) as depression and anger. This can til now continue to affect them later on in the future. To my assumption he may deliver been brutally murdered by Somozas National Guard (opposition to the Sandinistas), because of his crosstie with the Sandinistas, and he may not make water been the only innocent person to be killed by them, so there would have been other families affected by this turmoil.This w ar has not only affected the people but the countrys cornerstone as well such as the roads and buildings that were demolished. Homes might have to a fault been wrecked leaving people homeless which might cause them and their children to be quiescence without a roof over their head which is not healthy. Some businesses may have been shut down, and with no businesses, people would be out of jobs and as a resolve of this, they wouldnot being able to provide for their family. Schools likewise might have been closed and this would have deeply affected the educational pass off of the students and affect them in the future.In conclusion, this photo distinctly states the suffering the people and the country as a whole had to go through, and how the dead are left to remind the people of fear and sadness. This image illustrates the devastating case that a war can have on the people and its country. Koen Wessing is telling us that a war can cause a lot of problems in a country and it w ould be very intemperate to reestablish all the aspects which have been affected. work Cited Koen, Wessing.
