Late Post Week 13 April 7 Readings

The pictures in the documents of the April 7th readings all depict nations who finally achieved independence after long struggles. Africa achieved independence led by the African National Congress. The poster has many bright colors, like the flag, which stand for population (black), rich land (green), and gold that provided the country's wealth (yellow). The poster shows of a hang holding the flag, as a sign of freedom and proudness. Vietnam's struggle against the American military stopped in 1975. Their poster shows of a man in a uniform holding a bouquet of flowers high in the air. In the background, a plane on fire is going down, but the man is still smiling. In this poster, there are not as many stand-out colors like the African one, but it is just as nicely colored. The independence of Israel was in 1948. Their poster shows a wide, vast, empty land and some grapes on the side. The poster is full of wonderful colors. The emptiness of the poster--no people are in it-- is probably depicting that they are now free of impostors in their land. The last poster is depicting Arabian independence from Palestine. This poster shows a man walking under what must be a sun with an axe in his hand. This poster is not colorful; it is all black and white. It does not stand out very well against the others. I like the African one best because it really shows the happiness of the people who are now independent. You can see a lot of people in the background holding up flags, and maybe even some smiles on their faces. The hand in the center holding the African flag seems really strong and proud to be holding that flag. This poster shows the most happiness out of all the others and that is why I like it best.
