American Flag

This is a picture that I took of an American flag. I used this particular flag because I thought the way it is hung is very interesting. It is hanging from a window on its side and it is covered partially by a plant. I think that it is hanging from the window for easy access, if the family wants to take it up then they can. It is possible that the flag is hanging on its side so it is able to flow in the wind. If the flag was hanging in its normal position then the wind would not have as big of an effect on it. The family may want it to seem like a flag on a flag pole, one that blows in the wind. A flag on a flag pole is the ideal position for a flag according to some people. And because of the lack of a pole, I think that this is the best they could do. There is a plant partially covering the flag on the left side. This plant is not thick, so one can easily see through in order to view the flag. i think that this was done purposefully by this family because they may not want the flag to be the center of attention when someone looks at their house. The people that live here may have strong patriotic feelings and they love their country, but they do not need to shout it to the world. They are perfectly fine with being patriotic, but quiet as well.
