Contextualisation of the source | The image represents a moment of the war in which there are some soldiers hidden in the grass. |
Interpretation of the source | The photo could be interpreted like a symbol of this war. In fact, there are some young boys who are fighting, hidden in the grass. Probably, the soldiers have chosen to hit the enemy without warning. This is, probably, the sense of the war: there is little courage, above all because soldiers were very young, and they only desired to go back home alive. |
