Assignment 4: Claire Telfer

This photo depicts a soldier rescuing and feeding a kitten during the war. In times of war, we expect photos to show the reaction to destruction of civilization and the anguish caused by so much death. Instead, in this picture, we see compassion in the simplest of ways. In the midst of fighting for his life and his country, this soldier takes the time to feed an abandoned kitten. It makes you realize that among all the despair in the world, all you need is a glimpse of hope for your faith to be restored. It defines that, as humans, we can experience things that make life unbearable, but at the same time, there's still good in the world that shines through the pain. It's comforting to see the unexpected in times of grieving and sorrow.
