Writing Assignment

This is an image of the Egyptian flag and it speaks directly to me because it reminds me of my country; Egypt. Just looking at it brings back memories that I will never forget and brings tears to my eyes. I choose this specific image though, because it does not only depict the Egyptian flag, but it also depicts a very important part of me; my religion. The way the hands are outstretched in the image indicates that the person is supplicating to Allah (God) and the text on the top confirms. The person is asking Allah to protect this country and keep it safe, which is what every person wishes for their country. This image also reminds me of the Egyptian revelation and how strong we can be when something beloved to us is endangered.  Thus, I picked this image because it depicts my love for my country and my connection to my religion.
