This is a very famous picture in American history taken by Joe Rosenthal. It was taken at the battle of Iwo Jima during World War II. This photograph has a lot of character. You can tell the soldiers in this photo are going through a lot. They look physically beat up as they stand on a pile of rubble raising the American Flag. This photo is a good example of time. The uniforms that the soldiers are wearing let the viewer know that this is an old picture. The clouds in the somber sky also show that this moment was isolated in time. The flag is folded in half which shows the wind is blowing it, this is another element of time.
