Ryan's Reflection
Antonio - For the most part we had extremely similar thoughts on the two photographs. Try checking out the one link that I found on railroad disasters - there was some information on this particular wreck. Don't forget to post your KWL chart. I thought that it was extremely interesting that they took such large photographs, with all of the people who came to watch and/or see the wreck. That really gives you an idea of how significant it was to these people at the time. Also, I thought it was incredibly impressive that only one person is known to have died from this train wreck. -Ryan

Antonio - I just reviewed your KWL Chart - Once again, everything looked and sounded good. The information that you found was good as well. I thought that both of the photographs were really interesting to look at and examine. Have a good weekend!!! -Ryan

Antonio's Reflection
Ryan - Thank you for that website, it contained good information dealing with this event. I agree that we had some of the same observations and thoughts of the photographs. We both wanted to know if there was any loss of life in the accident and what was the cause. The people of this town seemed very curious as they showed up in big numbers to view the wreckage and clean-up. Knowing that one of the trains was coming from the state fair and having passengers from their city on it would contribute to their interest. What I did notice and did not include in my analysis was that people actually was posing for the camera when the photos were taken. I read in our key information on Analyzing Photographs that most people did not have cameras back then. They would find other ways to have their photo taken and one of those ways was to show up where a photographer would be, like a disaster such as this. I also noticed that nearly every individual, including women and children all had hats on their heads. Just a couple of other observations that I made after I took another hard look at the photos today.

Ryan - Thank you for taking a look at the KWL chart that I posted. Going to be working hard on getting more of these assignments done this weekend. Hope that you have a good weekend also! - Antonio

**Terrific job on your analysis and discussion of the photos on your Wiki. Ryan, I noted that you found the one picture to be more "posed". In those days few people had cameras so one of the reasons that they would all flock to "disasters" was because that was a way of obtaining a picture of themselves. A long way from the digital cameras and our phones today, huh?**
