photo analysis

This photo was taken by Charles Porter, At 9:02, on April 19, 1995, Gulf War vet, Oklahoma City Bombing.

This photo impact me much, it showed how dangerous the bombing was. The little just died; nobody can stop it. His life stopped at the very beginning. What a pity! We can imagine what happened before the bomb. Maybe his family was having a happy meal together, or his parents were telling him a funny story, what a happy family they were, but every thing gone. Look at the boy’s body, I felt so upset with it. He must have much pain when fire came, how can a little boy suffering this horrible thing. The fireman also felt sad, no one wants to see such a little boy die there, he was watching the boy with such a sad face. He must pray for the boy, hope he has a better childhood next time. I stared at this photo for a long time; my heart seems to be prinked. Just imagine, a child cried in the fire, but the fire blocked the firemen’s rescue, they cannot do anything to reach the boy, but stood there and look at it, after they put off fire, the boy did not cry any more, only left was silent. A fireman rush in the building, and came out with slow steps, stared at the boy in his arm with bleak eyes.
