I, too, sing America.
I am the lesser sister. They tell me to go back to my country When they see me, But I laugh, And go to school, And grow smart. Tomorrow, I’ll make a difference When they see me. Nobody’ll dare Say to me, “Go back to your country” Then. They'll be ashamed And see my success I too, am American

To be an American is to have freedom. Though You are not really free since there are laws that limit that freedom. You have a better chance at becoming something in life. Not a lot of people call you out because of the color of your skin or the race you come from. You do not feels as you are a minority or at least not all the time. However the American life can also have its downfalls. While what I stated might be true for some people they may experiencing the opposite. But at the same being American & living in the U.S opens up a lot of opportunities. Many respect your race & police men/women do not go racist on you as much as other races.
This art represents chapter 20 of The Little Prince. This shows how some flowers are glittered because they are unique but once the little prince finds the garden filled with roses, he gets overcome with sadness. His flower is no longer the most unique of all the worlds. This lead him to change from being happy to sad and now he needs to adapt to the fact that his flower is common.
The image above shows how the mind sees an object and what it was taught to think of it. With perception the person tries to figure out whether what they are seeing is really what it is. Like in the image above, you'd ask yourself whether that object is a cloud or not. Authority is what a person has been taught, so when s/he sees an object they automatically assume the object is what it is. Descartes once said that all the senses, hear, taste, see, etc … are not irrefutable truths, unlike perceiving. Therefore, making someone/oneself question what they are truly seeing is what it means to exist. Also questioning about oneself's existence makes you exist.
This abstraction art is about how when people are high they feel really happy but then in the real world there are bad things happening to them. The imaginary happy place when your high (the bright colors) are being taken over by the real world once you've had problems due to being addicted to heroin or any type of drug (dark colors). This influences people to not do drugs because drugs have a strong force that makes you want more.
I think therefore I am is a very complex phrase that Descrates once said. Bassically the quote means that thinking of your extistence, makes you exist. The reason to this is because, once Descartes questioned if he really existed. But then he came to a point that he does exist because he is thinking. According to Descartes, in life, thinking is the only job/function everyone has to do.
