Short Takes - Footprints on the Flag

1.      She is an immigrant from China, working as a gallery attendant.

2.      Another conflict is between Anchee Min and the viewers in the gallery. The third conflict is between Anchee Min’s idea of freedom and American society.

3.      Among those conflicts, I think the conflict between Anchee Min’s idea of freedom and American society is the most important one in this essay. Because this conflict goes through this essay, Anchee Min’s own idea of freedom is very different from the point of view of American society which makes this essay full of intenseness.

4.      Anchee Min learned that everyone should be loyal to their own country when she was very young and she thinks that there are too many American who takes freedom for granted.

5.      Although Min does think that everyone has to be loyal to their country respect any symbol of their country, I think Min is a little too emotional toward the artwork.
