After 3-5 minutes of quiet reflection, post a brief poem to this board that shares your interpretation of this piece.

It can represent thousands of different ideas in just one photo
It can represent three different ways people view America or it can represent three different societies within America, all of this can be interpreted in just one photo

We see it every day but what does it really mean. It represents our country and our ideas. We back up one another endlessly, for we are one. We are united under the the American Flag. ]]> 2020-09-01 20:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/713266050 https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/713270053 Symbols of America are everywhere. It is so easy to forget the significance and the importance. If we amplify the symbols maybe we will understand then]]> 2020-09-01 21:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/713270053 https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/713270286 The American dream is hypnotic, yet only an arrogant lie of equal opportunity hiding behind a pretty face. Our idealized, “melting pot“ culture hides centuries of pain

Three different views on the same place
Some bad some good
But at the end of the day it’s red, white, and blue]]> 2020-09-01 21:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/713276279 https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/713278146 The layers of flags shown in this image represent the layers of history and what has changed with it. There have been many cultures roaming the land but then came a crazy tyrannical man. Everything changed as Columbus came along destroying what had been there for so long. ]]> 2020-09-01 21:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/713278146 https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/713281443 Covering up the past 
Cultures disappearing fast
You turn one way to see tradition
And then they vanish, as if by a magician
But it is not magic or an act of justice
These treasons are headed by Christopher Columbus
To make a new world is not to overpower each other
But to accept one another, as if sister and brother.]]> 2020-09-01 21:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/713281443 https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/716248812 Three flags, 
different in size, 
yet all the American flag.
Although different in size,
All with the same meaning,
Freedom

The three flags represent different things to different people, yet the one connection is the one flag that is always recognized by anyone in the world. ]]> 2020-09-02 20:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/716249262 https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/716251739 The American flag
Stars and Stripes.

What does America represent? Should we really have pride in a country that has oppressed so many? Does the flag unite us or divide us?]]> 2020-09-02 20:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/716254843 https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/716258151 Three flags 
centered on top of eachother
Each time getting smaller.
But the lines of the 3 flags 
align with to illustrate the entire flag as a whole.

But here it is displayed in a unique way. 
What does the overlapping of the flags mean? 
Could it be overlapping societies? 
Is it trying to say that there is more behind the US than what we originally see or learn?

Three different America’s 
Upper class
Middle class
Lower class
Different Flags, Different lifestyles 
Different class, less stars aligned 
The less stars aligned marks the difference of views
Difference of flags represents the different perspectives of our country
The big flag living in wealth and prosperity 
While the small flag does all it can to achieve stars just to live in poverty

This land was founded with  principles of free speech and the hope of living out the “American dream”. But as time goes on, we see people being attacked for stating an opinion that opposes somebody else’s. We see these principles become more and more exclusive depending on race, social status, and  beliefs.]]> 2020-09-02 20:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/716264246 https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/716287589 We’ve once had pride in our flag; however, now, our pride is slowly dwindling into none]]> 2020-09-02 21:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurren/kohwmiqunu0d3iuf/wish/716287589
