The Flag Is Me, and I Am It

The flag I made is me, and I am it; I chose my colors and applied them in lines, I discovered my widths and applied them in stacks. I choose the colors based upon parts of my life that correspond with me the most; I chose blue to represent Medical Science since it is my favorite subject in school and I plan to work into the medical field when I’m older and placed this at the top and bottom of the flag, which descended and ascended into red to symbolize Atheism as I am an Atheist and that has influenced my views on many political and social situation, the color I chose for the middle of my flag is black to show music because it is the color of the notes on sheet music and I played trombone in my class band for 5 years, the last color placed on my flag is white to be the filler for my triangle flask to be a contrast to music’s black color that I chose as science and music have been thought of as very different topics. The widths of the colored lines correspond with how much those topics influence my life; blue influences me the most of the three topics so it has the largest width, black comes in second with a slightly less thick line than blue because music influences a lot of my actions and personal views on certain events in society, the smallest width is found on red because even though me being atheist influences some of my views I don’t make a big deal of my religion as it is just another not very interesting aspect of me and my life. The last thing that deals with my lines and colors is the numbers of lines in their pattern coming from the bottom to the middle you get three colors and three lines, coming from the top to the middle you get three colors and three lines, I chose this specific pattern because my lucky number is 33.

Past colors and widths I bring in a straight mouth triangle flag directly in the middle of my flag since science is the main study I go for in my classes and chose a triangle flask because it represents the three colors I chose by a way of metaphor representing three vertices, three colors.
