This is an image is a photograph taken by Alfred Eisenstaed in Times Square, New York City on 14th August 1945. It was taken as a symbol of excitement and joy at the end of the Second World War. This photo has now become one of the most iconic pictures of the 21st century.
The identities of the people in the picture were not discovered for many years later.
This photo is a very iconic picture of American ideals as it represents liberty from the war bringing more opportunity to the people of America.
This photo was taken by Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression in the 1930's, and has become one of the most iconic pictures taken.
The woman in the photo must of come to America due to the American Dream idea thinking she can have more opportunities for a better life in the States. However the Great Depression had cause great poverty which forced her and her children off the land. The woman is gazing distractedly in the distance for hope, and Dorothea Lange thought by taking this picture it will bring this family opportunities.
This image goes against the American ideals as America being the land of opportunity as not everyone is successful only a small handful.
