symbolism

Explanation:

Birds who fly openly and freely are often the symbol of freedom. This is because birds seem to have no limits, they can go wherever they want and fly where they wish, on the wind they seem free and their wings seem to like to tool to reach their freedom.

The symbol is the element that stands for some other concept or idea. Those are usually signs or marks, sometimes graphic, sometimes, verbal, that represent other meanings. They are created by some specific connection and that connection is known to a certain group of people. That group can read and understand the meaning behind the symbol without further explanation. Symbolism is the usage of the symbol. It is the movement and element of the art in which usage of the symbol is incorporated in the art piece.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
