I added this image from back when women weren't allowed to vote. To me, freedom means that EVERYONE has the right to vote!

I added this image of a fish escaping from a crowded bowl, to signify freedom because I believe freedom means to be able to break away and not be tied down to others, in order to allow yourself a better opportunity to live, grow and prosper as you wish.

I added this image of a slave breaking free from his chains. This represents freedom because slaves are bound to their owners, without being able to think for themselves. I chose the example of slavery because it has happened all throughout history, and still continues in some places in the world.

I added this image of an eagle flying over the mountains. This represents freedom, because I believe freedom is not having to go by any rules you are not okay with, or any boundaries to go by, and birds don't have that. Also, eagles represent America, and we are a free country.

I added this image of a bird being released from a cage. This symbolizes freedom because the bird is no longer restricted to that cage. I believe freedom means to be able to do something or be somewhere without limits.

I added an image of a person having their arms opened wide. The reason why I added this picture is because to me in this picture it means that they are free from whatever burden they had before.

Jose Torres

torres_manuel20 — 2013-09-09 21:09:15 UTC

I added this image of a bird flying. This represents that the bird is flying free around the sky & nothing can stop him. Freedom is when you can do anything without no one stopping you.

This area is massive and barren with nobody to tell you what you can and cannot do.

JarKayla Jackson

I added this picture of a person breaking free from chains because chains symbolize burdens and the things holding you back from reaching your goals and the thing you want. When you are no longer bound by chains, you are free to do, think, and be what you want to.

I added this image of an American flag blowing in the wind. This symbolizes freedom because America is a free country and the American flag represents our nation's freedom.

Alex Rivas

2013-09-09 22:19:18 UTC

I added this image of Abraham Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclomation because it shows the freeing of all slaves. Freedom to me is not being tied down and told what you're supposed to do.

Meyli Lemus

mlemu643 — 2013-09-09 22:21:59 UTC

This is a image of a person letting go of a bird. I added this picture to represent freedom. The person is setting the bird free. I believe freedom mean that no one should stop you from having the life you want.

Lori Renwick

lrenw641 — 2013-09-09 22:33:14 UTC

I added this image of Arlington National Cemetery to symbolize the freedom we have as Americans. The people buried at this place fought for us to the death so that we would be able to live freely.

Austin Dowdy

2013-09-09 22:50:22 UTC

I added this image of the Statue of Liberty to symbolize the freedom of Americans. I chose this symbol because when Europeans emigrated to the United States at Ellis Island, this statue was symbolic to their newfound freedom.

Erin Wester

ewest667 — 2013-09-09 22:51:00 UTC

I added this image of the Liberty Bell. This represents freedom because it was used to help signify the ending of slavery. It also was used to spread the inspiration of freedom and liberty.

Nicky Quinones

2013-09-09 22:52:42 UTC

This photo of children of different cultural backgrounds symbolizes freedom to me because freedom means that one is able to be whoever they are/want to be.

Caitlyn McLeod

cmcle666 — 2013-09-09 22:58:59 UTC

I added this image of a person that has drawn birds but put a line through some. The reason I posted this picture is because there is a thin line between being as free as a bird and being behind bars or wire like slaves. Its a thin line between freedom and slavery.

Cortney Williams

cwill669 — 2013-09-09 23:11:32 UTC

I added this image, a bird flying in the sky because birds can roam freely in the sky. Once the bird is in the sky there is no way we can stop it. Freedom in my mind is being able to do something without someone or something stopping you from doing so.

Kaylen Bryan

2013-09-09 23:51:18 UTC

The reason why I added this image was to represent freedom as the "Ace of Spades." Now the way I see freedom is being a card game. You have to know what you're doing in order to earn your rights as a person in society. You screw up and it will cost you a lot. That's why I see freedom as a card game.

Flor Macias-Chavez

2013-09-09 23:55:45 UTC

I added this picture of a girl splashing water. The reason for this is that people are free to control what around them and be who they are without worrying about being judged.

Jessica Wells

jwell665 — 2013-09-10 00:07:58 UTC

I added this image of a road splitting into two. I put this picture because, it shows how you have the freedom to go which way you want to. You have the freedom to chose the path you want to take.

Maria Mendoza-Bello

2013-09-10 00:12:55 UTC

I chose this picture because it shows a lot of paths (decisions) you can take. I choose what I want to wear or which religion I wish to practice. To me freedom is being able to make decisions (take the path) you chose and not have others making/chosing them for you. Freedom is being able to do what you want, when you chose to do it. Basically being able to do your own thing... (decisions in life)

Mandi Hart

mhart474 — 2013-09-10 00:17:19 UTC

i added this image because we have freedom of religion where we are living today and NO ONE can take that away. it is a God given right. Jesus died so our sins would be set free, and would be no more.

Carina Perez

2013-09-10 00:23:20 UTC

I chose this image because freedom to mean being yourself, being able to make your own decision, and not try to be the same as other people. Freedom makes you different, it makes you who you are in life, people aren't always going to be the same as everyone else, there are always people that have different perspective of things. The freedom to be yourself!

Carlos Campos

ccamp448 — 2013-09-10 00:42:01 UTC

I put this picture because this world map has no borders or lines representing countries. I believe freedom means going to places you want without facing borders or obstacles.

Walker Williams

wwill6721 — 2013-09-10 00:47:35 UTC

This is a picture of the universe, and it symbolizes freedom, because the universe holds infinite possibilities and there is so much knowledge to explore and understand about the universe. it is such a vast dimension that there is no true containment and there is always space to travel about in. Our Earth is but a small spec in our large universe, making freedom the universes' middle name!

Esmeralda Leonidez

2013-09-10 03:44:08 UTC

I added this picture because freedom, to me, means being able to do or say anything your heart desires without any consequences.

Mieesha Smith

2013-09-10 05:02:56 UTC

I added this image of different skeletons because as humans we each have freedom to be what we want. By law everything doesn't go the way we want, but in the inside our basic structure each and every one of us our the same. Since we have freedom to be what we feel it's created the world around us with new ideas, and thoughts coming out every single day.

Realin Castro

realincastro — 2013-09-10 10:28:31 UTC

I chose a picture of the liberty bell as my symbol of freedom. The reason I chose this is because the liberty bell represents America's independence from Britain. Freedom to me means being able to go off on my own, breaking free from everyone else.

Joseph "Brennan" Lamb

jlamb642 — 2013-09-10 11:56:36 UTC

What we have here is a butterfly leaving a cocoon. I think of this as maturing and having the freedom to go wherever it wants to because while it used to have to crawl, it can now fly, being able to traverse ground and air. I think of our freedoms when America first came bout and how most people could only crawl. But when we went into a cocoon of development and burst out, people could now fly and had the freedom to do anything.

Tatyana Wilson

twils673 — 2013-09-10 12:02:54 UTC

I chose this image because it represents how the eagle is free to fly and soar all around the sky without anyone telling it that it can't. Also because it represents people and their desire to be free and stretch their wings to soar wherever they want.

Hannah Hatton

hhatt475 — 2013-09-10 12:06:57 UTC

I added this image to show how an un-caged bird symbolizes freedom because the bird has no limits and can do whatever it wants to do.

Jaquan McLean

jaquanmclean — 2013-09-10 12:12:42 UTC

This picture of a slave breaking free of his chains represents freedom, because he has the freedom to take control of his life, rather than being controlled by his master's unjust rule, which the chains are representative of.

Jordan McKay

jmcka659 — 2013-09-10 12:14:04 UTC

For some people death could represent freedom as it could depend on the quality of the life they are currently living.

Kristen Delisle

2013-09-10 12:21:35 UTC

I think that this picture of an open road represtents freedom by showing that you are free to travel where and when ever you want to. It is showing that you are free and no one can control you to do whatever they want you to do.

Joe Selix

2013-09-10 12:23:40 UTC

I chose this image because a motorcycle represents the freedom and uniqueness to others from yourself. The fire represents the burning passion that comes with being able to express your self with this freedom.

Bruno Aranda

2013-09-10 12:45:10 UTC

This picture shows freedom because sometimes people need to get away by other's thoughts and sayings in order to realized that they too have a voice of their own.

Sara Finne

snour6791 — 2013-09-10 12:53:47 UTC

I chose this picture of jumping dolphins because they live is the immense, seemingly endless ocean, with no responsibilities except survival. They can go wherever they want and do whatever they like. They truly demonstrate free will and what it means to be unbound.

David De La Cruz

2013-09-10 12:55:45 UTC

This picture symbolizes freedom because many citizens of East Berlin were isolated in one place and also separated from the West Berlin and rest of Germany. So in 1989 it was taken down.

Steve Grace

2013-09-10 12:57:47 UTC

I chose this picture of a man breaking chains because it represents the death of oppression and the rebirth of freedom from within. Freedom is what you are able to do, when there are no boundaries that can deter you from being the best that you can be. Oppression is the harbinger of sorrow, of corruption, and of inequality; but there is always freedom, no matter where you are, it all depends on how hard you try to find it.

Toni Szabo

tszab655 — 2013-09-10 13:08:39 UTC

I added this picture of a girl being happy because to me, being free means being happy and living life how you want to live it.

Juliette Crisostomo

jcris453 — 2013-09-10 15:36:24 UTC

I chose this image because it symbolizes the unification of all people despite their differences. They are blended together into this rainbow, which I believe is the basis of what freedom really is. Without accepting EVERYBODY, and perceiving them as all human beings, then I believe that no one can be who they really are and basically be free.

Dani Lopez

2013-09-10 15:38:05 UTC

I added this image to represent that some people are tied down to what the society has to say about them but the butterfly represents a unique person and how other people's perspective doesn't affect them; they have freedom. The wings help the person "fly" into their own world and thoughts.

Paloma Marchan Bello.

pmarc658 — 2013-09-10 15:39:58 UTC

I chose the American Flag to represent freedom. In America you have the freedom of speech, choice, religion, and even expression. This is the reason why people consider America the land of the free.

Josh Norman

jnorm677 — 2013-09-10 15:41:50 UTC

This photo of superman breaking a chain from his arms represents freedom because he can be free from the object that restricts him from life. Also is show how a person has to be strong and have control of themselves to become free, to become a positive person like superman you can become free.

Merari Cruz

2013-09-10 15:44:14 UTC

I added this image of the United States flag with religious symbols because it represents that you have to the freedom to choose your religion and nobody can ever change what you believe in.

Meredith Murphy

mmurp675 — 2013-09-10 15:49:46 UTC

I posted a picture of the Abraham Lincoln memorial because he was the man that abolished slavery, making it so that the slaves were free people. He represents freedom because he helped make freedom for others.

Mlynn Wooden

mwood676 — 2013-09-10 15:54:42 UTC

To me books can represent freedom. Throughout history books have been used to incite revolutions or express new ideas that were banned previously. It doesn't matter how much a country tries to censor themselves there were always be books even if they have to hidden. Books are also a type of escape to another place or world.

Sydney Blue

sblue490 — 2013-09-10 15:56:10 UTC

The reason I have this picture is because we have to freedom to change our lives so we can live better. And the next day brings us the freedom for that to happen. The Sky represents that we have the freedom to do what we feel is right to us.

mwood676 — 2013-09-10 16:03:01 UTC

Bailey Yow

jyow684 — 2013-09-10 16:44:16 UTC

I chose this picture of a fingerprint because everyone has a different fingerprint. Without freedom, it's like everyone is the same. Everyone is restrained and restricted. To me, this represents freedom from other people because you know who you are. You are not the same as others, you have the freedom to decide what happens in YOUR life.

Chmira Gilliam

2013-09-10 17:05:30 UTC

This picture shows that we all have freedom (hence the initials on the key). We just have to unlock the right door to receive/achieve our freedom. This can be by using the key at the right aged door, etc.
