This matters greatly because many events has happened in the U.S. that makes us all want to take a knee for this country. The most deadliest shooting in U.S. history has occurred less than 48 hours ago. Over 50 deaths and over 400 in the hospital, all cause by an American terrorist. In football many players are protesting against police brutality, while practicing their first amendment they get called out with horrible names and insults; some including the n-word. In Puerto Rico hurricanes have devastated the island, causing the island to not have any power. While the people are calling for help for the mainland (the U.S) the president of the United States is having Twitter fights against the NFL. This matters because America right now is in a shameful position.

What I see is a man who is very upset that took a knee for the innocent people who were injured and many killed. It is credible on what I'm seeing that he is also upset that America is putting each other in danger for no reason.

I think the image is saying that the United States has finally realized that they cant do any thing but there first amendment and say and protest what they want. For the U.S. that is bad because were the first ones too say don't take a knee get up and respect the flag and the U.S.. Now they are the ones that have to put a stop to this and protest.

This matters greatly because the world is just shocked and blown away by all these dangerous events occurring in such a very short time period it makes you drown in all these emotions you just don't know what to feel and what to think.

What I see is Uncle Sam on his knees, I think that he is kneeling because of Las Vegas shooting, he seems disappointed about whats going on. As it states "taken on our knees'' this means they are disappointed.

I see Uncle Sam a representative of the United States taking a kneel on the newspaper with the headline with Las Vegas shooting.This represents America finally seeing it problems and that its not the immigrants that are causing the problems it the Americans.This mass shooting was done by one of Americas own and they cant put the blame on anyone else.

This image symbolizes a sense of depression and what the nation is going through at the moment. The Las Vegas shooting was a massacre and a terrorist act.This act of terrorism brought nation onto its knees.

In this image I see uncle Sam taking a knee. He looks very disappointed ready the newspaper which previews the Las Vegas shooting that took place on Sunday. This is significant because it shows how bad our state is doing.

This is a picture of Uncle Sam on one knee with his right hand over his eyes. There is also a newspaper on the ground with the words "Las Vegas Shooting." I believe it symbolizes the sadness and devastation that people in the U.S are currently feeling because of the Las Vegas shooting. This matters because the people's natural right if "life' wasn't being protected at that point in time. No one knew this was going to happen. This event will most likely impact the 2nd amendment in a good way by making the right strict, if not already.

The image has a newspaper that has the wording "Las Vegas Shooting", a depressed Uncle Sam, and a hat with the American flag. The newspaper represents bad news, Uncle Sam represents the U.S., and the hat represents Americans. This matters because it shows that Uncle Sam is upset with what is happening.

In this picture, i see uncle sam ( the man who represents America) 0n his knees, with his foot on the Las Vegas shooting article. I believe this picture illustrates the point that America is on one of its worst terms and with all that is occurring is breaking America down. The Las Vegas shooting was the most largest mass shooting in all America's history.This is significant because, there has been a lot of devastation going around America with this being added on to it all is started to make America not so great. Therefore, this picture indicates, how America is becoming weaker and more of a disappointment in each day.

This matters because during the weekend there was a massacre in Las Vegas that robbed people of their natural right of life. I think this will not affect our 2nd amendment that much because they haven't changed much in the last couple of years. I also think gun laws will not change because anybody crazy person that acts normal can get a gun and shoot people. People can't tell who is crazy and who's not if they act normal.

Uncle Sam has been brought to his knees after reading an article about the shooting in Vegas and you can tell that he is disappointed. Many people are now grieving over the loss of a loved one because somebody's wrongful use of the 2nd amendment.

In the image, we see Uncle Sam, the face of the US, taking a knee with his hand over his face, looking very sad, and stepping on a newspaper that reads "Las Vegas Shooting." This shooting made a massive impact to American pride and patriotism, and with 58 dead and over 500 injured, this is the largest massacre in modern US history. The imagery is a display of the American pride at the moment, in despair and grieving over the loss of these innocent men, women, and children. The news makes us all think about how attacks on a scale of this proportion can be carried out by individuals that are not associated with terrorist organizations or cults, it can happen anywhere, at any time, and by anyone. The significance of this: the US is in complete shock and disbelief after this tragic event Sunday night and it was enough to bring us all to our knees.

What i see is Uncle Sam on his knees. He might be kneeling because of what happened in Las Vegas and he is just really disappointed in this tragedy. It saying "Taken to our knees" i can tell that everyone is really disappointed of what happened.

This image most likely represents how the U.S. is against itself and its laws. The image shows Uncle Sam, the man who represents the U.S. kneeling down on newspaper of the Las Vegas shooting. He is looking rather disappointed in the current state of his own country. This is significant because it shows how much the U.S. has fallen recently. There has been many other shootings but this one is the biggest in U.S. history which is why people have much controversy over the 2nd Amendment which is the right to bear arms. Many are debating whether or not it is right to allow people to own guns.

This image shows us uncle sam kneeing down on a newspaper on the event of the Las Vegas shootings, in a dark room with the text"Taken to our knees" above Uncle Sam. What these images mean, is that Uncle sam represents America, kneeling on the newspaper to represent, America talking about the other recent news about the NFL players kneeling, so its about both events occurring at the same time and what the text means is that the U.S is unstable, because of these two events. This is significant, because just recently these events occurred during the same time and the U.S is trying to deal with the two.

In this image I see Uncle Sam kneeling on his knee with grief, disappointment, and sadness all over his face. Uncle Sam in kneeling with his foot on the Las Vegas Shooting newspaper. This image illustrates how the man who represents our nation would be at his knees filled with: grief, sadness, and disappointment, because of today's society. Right now in America the 2nd amendment is being taken advantage of. To explain, since people have been given the natural right to bear arms, they are given the opportunity to misuse this right. There are citizens who misusing this right and taking innocent lives away.

In this picture we Uncle Sam, in other words the U.S in human form, kneels in disappointment and the reason being seems to be the Las Vegas Shooting. This matters because this image gives to understand that the U.S in a way feels betrayed because of this event. One of the reasons as to why this disappointing event occurred was because as citizens we are promised our natural rights, also known as The Bill of Rights. The second amendment which states citizens have the right to bare arms was taken advantage of and thus leading to the current massacre to run as planned ever so smoothly with no interruptions. This is what this image of Uncle Sam kneeling shows and this is why it matters.

Uncle Sam, representing America, is seen kneeling down with his hand on his face. This would convey America being disappointed with this current event adding on onto the current issues it has. Issues of people questioning its leader and its amendments; in this case is the 2nd amendment was involved in this event having a white American kill people with gun he can freely carry because of the second amendment. America right now feels ashamed with all its issues and Las Vegas shooting adds on into it.

What I see in the picture is uncle Sam taking a knee with his right leg on a poster saying "Las Vegas shooting", while being disappointed. This has significance because the second amendment allowed the shooting to begin and uncle Sam is disappointed because of the countless of lives and injuries that accrued.
Bryan Rivas P.2

In the picture I see uncle Sam on a knee with an article of the Las Vegas shooting on the floor. Uncle Sam's face has an expression of disapproval. He is upset towards the US and what it's becoming. People's natural right to live are being taken away because of the 2nd amendment. That is not right, natural rights should come first before any of the amendments.

The cartoon shows a man in a patriotic suit, known as uncle Sam, he represents the U.S. He is kneeling onto a newspaper that says "Las Vegas Shooting" and he looks disappointed. The Las Vegas Shooting is the biggest mass shooting in U.S. history with 58 people killed and over 500 hospitalized. I think this cartoon shows the depression and impact the evil killer made and it should have been an act of terrorism.

In the image above, it demonstrates a man, Uncle Sam, dressed in a USA outfit taking a knee on a newspaper that reads "Las Vegas Shooting" while he is covering his face with disappointment. This symbolizes that Uncle Sam is disappointed in what is occurring around the country. Many people say that they feel safe in this country because of the Bill of Right; however, there are others who are questioning the 2nd Amendment, the right to bear arms due to the incident in Las Vegas. There are questions whether people should have the right to own a weapon.

In this image its shows Uncle Sam, the mascot of America, is taking a knee with his head falling into his hand, stepping on the Las Vega Shooting Article. I can infer that he is disappointed in the tragic actions that have been taken place in our country. Also, disappointed by the one's natural rights being violated and in their opinion, the Second Amendment being used in the wrong way. The Second Amendment states," The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed". This says that everyone has the right to own a gun. The mass shooting in Vegas was pronounced the deadliest in all of U.S history. The victims who died that night natural right's were violated. That natural right was the right to life. America cant do anything about it.

What I see in this image is Uncle Sam taking a knee. Uncle Sam's foot is on a newspaper that says, "Las Vegas Shooting".Two current events wrapped into one image. The a Knee protest is about our Natural Rights that we rightfully deserve and the mass shooting in Las Vegas may or may not effect our 2nd Amendment (right to bear arms).

In the image above what i see is uncle Sam who represents the U.S on his knees stepping on top of a newspaper. The newspapers headline is the Las Vegas shooting which occurred at a country music festival. This political carton is important because it shows how disappointed uncle Sam is when it came to this shooting. And because its one of the worse one in history it shows america grieving. This shows how we need to improve the 2nd amendment or terminate it. This allows so many people to get guns and do what ever they please with those guns. Even though we have laws on guns, we still have deaths because of guns every single day. WE need to eliminate the second amendment because we do not need guns. It will lower crime rate and decrease the deaths of millions every year

In the image it is seen that a man named Uncle Sams is kneeling on one knee on the newspaper. The incident that happened in Las Vegas, Nevada is shown on the news paper and it has disappointed the man who represents the United States of America.

I think that the meaning of this image is Uncle Sam disappointed because of the shooting in Las Vegas. Uncle Sam must think that the country is going down with all the violence being caused within each other. It is significant because if people see this then they have to realize that as Uncle Sam being a representative of the United States of America .

This was a big thing for the natural rights and the 2nd amendment. The 2nd amendment is about you able to have a gun but now its like should we have guns.We nees to think about how much did guys hurt people this time and think hard should we really be able to own a gun.

I see Uncle Sam who represents the United States, taking a knee showing signs of grief and respect to those who've fallen. He seems to be rather disappointed to what has happened. It's significant, because it's showing that America has gone into some deep dark path that seems to be getting wider and longer.

The cartoon proves our society is going through terrorism. The shooting in Las Vegas was a dramatic downbreak. The man that caused the attack had the right to have his guns because they were llegally purchased. The 2nd amendment states the right to bear arms. Donald Trump did not call this a terrorist attack and some say it was. In the cartoon above it shows uncle Sam the character that represents America society is taking a knee and looks and if he was in stress.

In this image Uncle Sam is taking a knee due to what happened in Las Vegas. I think that this is like a form of respect for those who died, those who got injured and for the families but also as a form of disappointment. Uncle Sam is seen covering his eyes, looking down i believe that it's because he's disappointed with what has happened to the innocent people and to this country.

I think this means that Uncle Sam has finally been brought to take a knee about what happened in Vegas and what Donald Trump said about Puerto Rico taking the money out of our budget. I know the 2nd amendment said we have a right to bear arms but I think now that they need to ban guns in america because people are dying because they have guns and the police can't do anything about it. The United States of America has finally took a knee about the shooting in Las Vegas

The image shows Uncle Sam taking a knee for all of the terrible things that has been going on in america and for all the hat and violence the american people have for each other now that Donald Trump is in office. Uncle Sam is disappointed in what america has become and the violence needs to stop so american can back to normal no matter how hard it is like our last president said (Obama) '' Yes we can".

it matters because someone went to far with the 2nd amendment and commit a crime that killed 50+ people and injured 500 others.peoples natural rights are important but not to everyone who would do something wrong and hurt others and it applies to the 1st amendment. this cartoon shows uncle Sam feeling sad and ashamed about what happen in Las Vegas.

Uncle Sam is taking at knee to pay respect to the people past away during the Las Vegas shooting and he is showing that emotion because it’s a amendment that lets people walk around with guns
Bryan Barron

The 64 year old man who shot all those innocent people was not considered a terrorist according to Trump. Trump called this an act of pure evil. The only reason Trump wont call it a terrorist attack is because the man who caused all of this was a WHITE MAN. The cartoon above shows how disappointed and devastated Uncle Sam looks. Since Uncle Sam represents The United States, this shows that the United States as a whole is taking a knee for what happened in Vegas.
I see a man kneeing down with his hands over his forehead.
