American Dream in (a few) photographs

again from the BBC series

Interesting feature.  I'm not convinced that these are THE photos for the task.  But, the effort gives me an idea for 202 assignment!  Shall we assemble our own set of photos, using quotations from our readings as captions?  Start collecting images and quotations now.  There are some iconic images that are used and reinterpreted over and over: the statue of liberty (AmCon201) and American Gothic, for example.  There are stereotypes such as the house with the picket fence or, perhaps, those Rockwell posters.  But . . . I'm sure we can do better.  Here is my first entry, still without the telling caption.
