Assignment 4-Elizabeth Ueland



August 14, 1945 is a day that will not be forgotten by all Americans. The final defeat of the Japanese and the ultimate end of World War II marked a new beginning for citizens in America. The picture, known as The Kiss, is an infamous representation of the joy and relief that enveloped people all over America at the time. It symbolized the close of one of the most brutal wars in the world and showed that people shouldn’t forget about the 64 million perished souls, but remember the fight and move on. The picture gave American people hope. Hope that people could carry on with their lives and not be fixed in the horrors of World War II. Overall, it signifies that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and that good things will always come even in the midst of utter disaster.
