Picturing America Part 2 and 3


Some ways you can learn about the pictures in picturing America is by understanding the picture and what it is about. Like the picture on the left it shows a man on a horse, and I think he is trying to warn the town of something.
Tell me what you think.
 The reason I pict this picture is because it shows the man warning the British are coming. That was very important to the towns people because if he did not, they would have got killed.

Picturing America part 1

The reason the National Endowment for Humanities wanted to teach history like that was that it brings heritage to Americans. I think that is true.

Silver Platter

Some ways these picture's are the same is that they are all made out of silver. Another one is that they all can hold something, whether it is sugar, cream,or tea.
There are also things that are different in these three picture's too. One of them is that they all have different shapes and sizes. Some have spouts and some don't. One of the pictures has one silver piece. Another one has three silver pieces, and the other one has four. The last one I see is that they all have a different kind of silver tone.

Sans Arc Lakota

I see lots of stuff that look the same. One of them is that they are wearing feather hats. Another one is that they have long hair. The last thing I see is that they look like they are from the same tribe.  

Quilt's


The one I like the best is the one on the bottom right. The reason I like this one is because it looks like a weird star. Also I like the colors in it.

Migrant Mother

I think she is thinking about how she is going to live her life after the destruction.

Bejamin Franklin

The first thing I thought

that made it look like that man
was very old was the cloths
that he was wearing . The next
thing was the statue is gray. The
gray made it look like it was
old. The last thing is that it is
in a museum.
