Margaret Bourke White is famous for her photographic essays of WWII. White took this photo (above) entitled, The Living Dead, of
German men looking at a group concentration camp prisoners (although we cannot see the prisoners) after the camp was liberated. When she was asked by a LIFE magazine writer about the picture, she replied, "Dead men will have indeed died in vain, if living men refuse to look at them." What did she mean? a.
If the living do not examine past mistakes, in particular with war and hatred, then the ones who died because of these things will have died for no reason.
b.
People must be made to feel guilty for their involvement with hate, if things are ever to change in the world and people are ever going to live in harmony.
c.
In order to understand death, people have to see it with their own eyes.
d.
If the living men refuse to look at the dead, and the dead are only seen by the women who bury them, then the dead’s accomplishments cannot be remembered.
A. If the living do not examine pas mistakes, in particular with war and hatred, then the ones who died because of these things will have died for no reason.
a wide shot can show you the full picture of what's in front of you and an extreme wide shot can show even more and is typically used when shooting some sort of landscape.
