As we have been learning about what we feel the flag symbolizes in class it really made my thinking juices start flowing. people said that it symbolizes peace or hope or freedom and should not be wrongfully used like on napkins. while i believe that alot of people think the flag symbolizes these things I, on the contrary, feel a little bit different. i think that the flag is just an identity of a country. every country has different colors and different representations on the flag, and this identifies a country. i also believe that it is not wrong to use a flag on a towel or napkin because it is just a drawing and not the real thing. now if a person took a flag down from a flagpole just to wipe off their face on it then that would be disrespectful
Our assignment was to find a flag and photograph it. i had never really critically looked around to see flags but this weekend i did. one thing i saw was American flag covers on a bed. Who would not want to sleep in the flags of their country? i feel that these covers were not meant to spark a big controversy or even make you second guess the fact that there are flags. i believe that covers were made just for decoration. I dont think that there can be anything said about them like the walls are a lighter blue then the blue in the flags so that means america is darker then the outside or something like that. there is although one problem i saw with the flags, instead of having stars it has really small stars and half moons. why would there be a need to chnage the flag for these covers anyways?
