"Girls in Front of 9/11 Mural (Photo)" Questions (pg. 160)

Reading Images

1. The details expressed in the mural include: the date of the incident (obviously), the American flag,  and "In Memory Of...". Nothing really dictates the exact composition and arrangement of the items, but when it comes to the American flag, there is a certain design that it has to follow. 50 stars, 13 stripes (7 red, 6 white). In the mural, there are only 6 red and 5 white stripes. 
2. I think the photographer wanted to get a message of understanding and what effect the occurrences of 9/11 could have had on the youngest Americans. The details included in the photograph communicate this impression by the representation of the American spirit through the American flag, the stars, and the words. 
3. From what I can see, the photographer seems to be presenting an objective view of the subject. This is based solely on the fact that there seems to be no evidence of personal opinion in the photograph, as far as I can see anyway.
