American Flag = Symbol
Symbols play a very important part in our lives. There are many types of symbols we see today. Like street signs, logos for companies, the small pictures on a map. But sometimes, we don’t notice them or ever actually think about them when we see them. Why are they there anyway? I’ll tell you what I think. Since the beginning of time, humans use symbols to communicate based on how they’re feeling and what they see. Some of the symbols may have been passed on to our time period. Symbol are used for almost everything that exists. Some symbols are created to represent a person, place, or a thing.
One very important and valuable symbol I know of is the American flag. I think it is considered a symbol because it shows that we
are a successful country. It also represents the 50 states (50 stars) and the 13 colonies (13 stripes).
