A.  What is the most powerful image from the pictures printed in the Denver Post over the three weeks they published images from the year of coverage? Why?
The most powerful picture to me is called a light holiday touch. I think this is the powerful because in a very dark time they are trying to spread joy and happiness. People are different and cope in different ways. I think that if you decorate your living space like your at him eat can make you feel more safe.
