The Flag of Freedom and Liberty/ what I see in and outside the flag
When I look at the flag I see the colors and all the stripes and stars, but why are their 50 stars and 13 red and white stripes? Well the 50 stars represent the 50 states of the united states and the 13 red and white stripes represent the 13 original colonies who create the united states in 1776. Something else I see is the colors why did they use the colors red white and blue? Because the color red means courage, white means purity, and blue means loyalty. When I see the flag, I see more than fabric I see bravery from the soldiers sacrificing their lives for our safety. I also see Freedom because there isn't any terrorist bossing us around telling

    I would like to start my image analysis with the picture called “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima” by Joe Rosenthal, 1945.

Our flag is being lifted to what seems to be about 5 men they have taken time out of their battle to lift the flag. Around these men it seems to be a wreckage around them maybe this area was bombed and everything came down as well as the flag. I feel that they are putting up this flag to represent America and their love for the country of the free and the brave.…
