Leese’s article, “Casualties: On the Western Front,” was about how the military did not recognize non organic injuries as real injuries until 1915. The soldiers on the frontline, understood the psychological injury, sometimes called “shell shock,” better than anyone. During the war, mental health and illness were determined by the military’s nee for man power so the army rejected the ideal and simply called it hysteria. That was until the French army realized that there was more to it than hysteria and the search for answers began. The article also contains stories about the experiences of the soldier on the frontline. The author’s main points were convincing because of the many details the article contained as well as the numerous stories.

Anselm Kiefer was a German artist who was born directly after World War II. The art that Kiefer created focused on a reconciliation with the shame and horror surrounding the holocaust, aimed aimed to redefine what it meant to be German in a “post-Nazi World (Smith).” The piece I studied is located at the MoMa in San Francisco and is entitled “Shulamite”. “Shulamite” is a historical painting of a Nazi Memorial Site, which Kiefer created it in 1983. In this painting, Kiefer transformed the architecture of a site which was meant to honor Nazi heroes into a memorial for their victims. Kiefer uses some very interesting aesthetic techniques to reflect the intense emotions of that time and to reflect the rage, grief, and shame that Germans felt in response to the Holocaust. His intention was to reconcile with the country’s dark past through memorializing the persecuted while painting the country as no longer representative of it’s dark past.

Yet, and story is not clear the image has many story elements; they include: the posture or the man, his face, and the location. Robert Peraza, the subject of this picture, has a clear emotional attachment to the memorial. This is shown in the way he has kneeled down in grief with his head lowered, and his hand still outstretched on an engraved name. The location also brings about emotion due to the fact that the memorial represents the day thousands died on September 11, 2001.  Although, some may not recognize the memorial thus creating less emotion: whereas, The Old Vet and His Tank presents emotion more effectively by use of body language, facial expression, and the background. The Veteran has been overcome with shock and has knelt to the ground. His body language suggests he is saddened; upon looking at his facial expression this is proven. His eyes are closed and he is looking down in despair. The background tells a story because a tank is clearly shown and the viewer does not have to guess where he his, although, they may not know the complete background
