Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. In Flag, Jasper Johns represented the United States flag with lumps and smears, asking viewers to consider the work as a painting and to contemplate its meaning.
2. Johns created this work during a time of patriotism in the Cold War.
3. Faith Ringgold's God Bless America is a comment on bigotry.
4. She painted at a time that white prejudice was supported by the legal system. She represents the star of the United States flag as a sheriff's badge, the stripes as prison bars, and the woman behind the bars as a prisoner of her bigotry.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. They make a visual record of people, places, and events, such as Mickalene Thomas has done in Portrait of Mnonja.
2. They help us see the world in new ways, as Ken Gonzales-Day has done in At daylight the miserable man was carried to an oak . . .
3. They make functional objects and buildings pleasurable and imbue them with meaning, as Renzo Piano has done in the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center.
4. They give form to the immaterial, as Jan van Eyck has done in The Ghent Altarpiece.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
