I have chosen this picture to be my artifact related to war. It seems to show a young soldier who is lost in his thoughts while sitting on the train in the country he is fighting for. I chose this picture because it really made me think critically about war and brought a lot of questions to my mind, and I really thought it would do the same for everyone else. Is he going to war or has he just come back? Is he thinking about something horrible he has witnessed? What kind of stress is the war putting on him? How is his life different from mine? These are some of the questions that came to my mind and they really help me look deeper into the concept of war. War is sometimes glorified and we don't realize that it is people just like us who are fighting wars. Seeing this young individual really puts war into perspective and makes you question it.
