Raising the flag on Iwo Jima


This image is known as Raising the flag on Iwo Jima with this image i will be talking about the objective, subjective and context. I'm going to start with the objective.

The objective of this image is Victory for america, a team lifting this flag, soldiers, four man squad, this is what most battlefields look like, using team work to lift the flag and it is quite an old image.

The subjective of this image is New history, destruction, America winning, helping their squad team mate, water in the background, a lot of violence, a lot of negativity, propaganda, this image was taken 4 times before to get the image right, one of the squad members struggling, cannon fodder, Dominating another area, this is conquest.

The context of this would be four man squad, debris, team work lifting a flag pole.
