Jerod Felton's photo essay:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/18/world/middleeast/18yemen.html?ref=middleeast

This is an interesting article in regards to the recent attack in the small country of Yemen in the middle east, yet I have a hard time seeing the url as a photo essay because the pictures the story contains do not tell the reader what's going on. You basically have to read the entire page to understand what occured, just looking at the page's three pictures does quite cut it. Though, the main photo does create enough interest for the reader to read the article, so I guess in that way, the shot was effective, and credit should be given for inserting the photo. It poses enough curiosity for the reader to want to see what happened in Yemen.

My view on the subject is that, as sad as it may sound, the event just sorta blends into all the other tragedy going on throughout the middle east at this time. The fact that Yemen is so small and relatively unheard of makes the bombing of the U.S. embassey pop out a little bit more, and the article's main photo further blends what just occured in Yemen into what's been going on throughout the area.

Comment by Sean to the PURDUE TRUMPETS: I'm not posting random blogs about politics & world events for fun, it's for my ENGL 106 class, which uses this blog website in order to publish projects. What's stinks is that I was already signed up for the site during the summer, for the purdue trumpets blog. In anyone could tell me how to create myself a new blog page I'd be really thankful so I no longer have to bombard you all with my seemingly random ramblings on odd topics. I hope no offence was taking from my JOHN MCCAIN blog. Boiler Up!
