Flamingo
We had an In-class essay, about Flamingos. One, in-class essays are my absolute biggest fear, two- fake flamingos are the prettiest thing ever. In fact, I actually have bedroom lights right above my bed frame that are cute pink colored flamingos. I love walking into my room to see the bright yet also dim colored mini flamingos through my room. It blends in well with my while wall. Basically I love my room, its a clean white mixed distinctly with fade and calming pink.
As I read the passage about flamingos, analyzing it, it was quite evident that the flamingo was a symbolism of wealth. It gave a snazz. In fact, even before having read this passage, I knew that the flamingo just had something different about it, since I went to Las Vegas, there was not much I could remember except for rowing boats inside a mall, and a humongous flamingo outside some hotel. Despite being in multiple casinos and more, the flamingo had its own little space in my memory brain even 5 years later.
It occurred to me how one thing could signify the wealth someone has and becomes a world wide symbol. Although the flamingo craze was in the 1900s, even today, we have things that signify our social class. Our minds have formed themselves into thinking a specific way about society, what you have signifying what social class you belong in. For example, if a lady is wearing an expensive purse such as Louis Vuitton, she is rich. If the dad has an expensive car such as a Maserati or Porsche, he is rich. If you live in a big home, you are rich. If you can afford half of the things the upper rich class can, but delicate spending and watching your money carefully, then that class is identified as middle class, which most of Troy tends to be in the upper middle class. The shape and size of your house, the clothes and jackets you wear, shoes and car you drive, all shape into how people look at you, the more richer the more admiration received, its the community we live in today.
