Chapter 2 - ‘Humping the Boonies’ Title and Photo Analysis
Chapter title and photo analysis:
This photograph was taken by Larry Burrows. It shows a trail of soldiers walking through a triple canopy jungle with bushes, trees, sticks and leaves in their way. The soldier leading the trail is holding a large weapon of some sort which looks dangerous, and also is carrying grenades that are attached to his belt. The chapter relates to this photograph because the soldiers are called ‘grunts’, and it gives everyone an idea of how hard they had it and the weapons the grunts had to carry and the types of conditions and tracks they had to walk for days through. I believe this was in the early stages of the book because it’s only the second chapter and they are just starting their war and trying to find Charlie. The soldiers look pretty tired and dirty already. It makes me feel concerned and sorry for them because they would be scared and new to it all, anything could happen to them.
