[This goes to your photo essay]

I must say, you have found some interesting, beautiful pictures. The second to last one caught my eye. Though the pictures are very nice, this photo essay was some what confusing. There was no introductory paragrapgh, and there seemed to be no real description for each picture. It's hard to analyze a picture that you've never seen, so it's on your part to explain that to your audience. Another thing, cropping the pictures is a big help. The bigger the image is, the more interested your reader will be. If it's tiny with no detail, its hard to look at. One more thing, try to follow Prof. Petrik's way of doing the photo essay; it's easy, good-looking, and attractive.

I like the humor in your first comment about the Dogs picture. I felt like there was a certain cynical theme about the images in your photoessay you should have explored more. I think you should have added some political cartoons to your essay which may have given you some more inspiration to write. The images in your photoessay just don't make sense you didn't explain anything. I think you could be a good sociologist based on my readings from your Catlin's Indian essay. You should've made a photoessay on more socially charged issues occuring during the civil war era such as the Dred Scott decision, Uncle Tom's cabin, or about Slavery and the Confederacy. I hope you'll try to write more on your next photoessay.
