My 3 icons are football, the American bald eagle and also Abraham Lincoln. The first one of my icons which is football is a sport that was developed here in America as a game to almost combine the two games of rugby and what is known as soccer in England. This was Americas was of creating an original game similar to the one that had been outlawed in England and made illegal in the 1700 by king Henry the 3rd. The second one of the icons is the American bald Eagle which is a bird that is only found in America. And the third one of my icons is President Abraham Lincoln.
Football.
Football.
Football is one of many sports that we have here in America. When you are in another country for example England, And you mention the word football it is perceived that you are talking about soccer. So in this case and instance you need to specify American football and it then becomes something that almost everyone that you speak to identifies with as being specific to the United States of America. In an overview football is one sport that we find fun and one of the most interesting sports of the American time.
American Bald Eagle.
I chose this icon because to me this is one of the few living things that truly resembles the idea of freedom. This bird is rare and was once in danger of being extinct. In all reality this bird has truly made a comeback from what it was 50 years ago. To me this is a special animal that is truly unique.
Abraham Lincoln
I chose this icon because not only was he a president of the United States of America but he was the first person in America on record who made an effort to fight for the freedom and equality for all persons. This move paved the way for notable individuals in American history to make more notable moves. These individuals include Malcolm X, and also Martin Luther King Jr. America was founded on the principles of freedom and equality. It’s amazing how we started out doing just the opposite and finally as we approach the year 2010 we are closer now than we ever were when it comes to actually acting upon our true foundation ideal.
I like your icons. Most of them are focused around America and freedom and the like. I never really thought of the bald eagle as an icon but I guess it is. It is America's icon. And Abraham Lincoln was an icon in his day and will always be an icon because of what he did for people.
