This image is of The Statue of Liberty and is an iconic
monument to New York City and also to America. This image I believe is a
positive image of America, as The Statue of Liberty has a lot of sentimental
meaning behind it. Lady Liberty stands for freedom and the fireworks in the
back ground show Independence day and how Americans are independent and determined
to achieve, relating to the iconic saying ‘The American Dream’. Lady Liberty is
known as a land mark and when the immigrants were migrating to live a better
life, when sailing in the first glimpse of America they saw was the Statue of
Liberty, indicating a new life of Independence and freedom.
A photograph of a black man with scars from being whipped
multiple times shows America in a very negative light. The image shows how
America had a very brutal and barbaric background, forcing millions of Black
men, women and children to leave their homes become separated from friend’s
families and love ones to live in deathly environments and to be treated worse
than animals. Being beaten and working on minimal food and water and women
being raped by Americans. The image shows how the back ground of America wasn’t
always as welcoming as it now may be in the 21st century.
