Symbols and the American Flag

January 6, 2010

Symbols are created to give things a meaning, to seperate it from the rest.When you see a symbol, you know it is different then something else. When you see the Breast Cancer symbol, you know it is different from the American Cross. You can remember pictures better then words, and you can remember it forever. We create symbols when you want to give someone a lasting memory of what it is symbolizing.  The American Flag is one of the best known symbols around.  It is considered a symbol of the U.S. ’s freedom. When you see the American Flag, you tend to remember the war of 1812, and what we went through to gain our freedom. At the same time, when you see the American Flag you don’t remember the war, because you just remember the symbol. Symbols are all around you, some stand for something of great importance and some stand for small things.  Pictures from: http://www.onthisrockinc.com/American_Flag_and_Freedom_of_Religion.jpg
