"Describing the Third Photograph in Ephron’s Essay"
In Ephron’s essay titled “The Boston Photographs,” describes a series of photos that are displaying a tragic incident which illustrates a young woman and a child falling off of an escape ladder of an apartment building. Although, I would like to explain each and every photo as I see them through my eyes, I will only explain the last photo which is of the young woman and child actually falling off the balcony just before hitting the pavement. I think the third photo is probably the most tragic image of all three photos because it shows the woman and child just before hitting the ground, and it displays the horrific image people do not want to see because it shows “death” in the act; they, the woman and child, should have their story broadcasted because this can happen to anyone and who knows if the family of the woman and child are letting the images being published to inform others about this tragedy. All and all, I think that the images should be broadcasted to inform the public about this tragedy because this can happen to anyone in the world and I know that these people, the woman and child, would want their horrific death out there for people to understand and recognize that these images are to inform the public about how tragedy can manifest in all different types of situations, but its not to degrade or be disrespectful to the victims, but instead, inform society about tragedy.
