complex ideas about events

Both the poem and Gast’s painting use symbols, imagery, and narrative to convey broad, complex ideas about westward expansion/Manifest Destiny (values, consequences, and attitudes). The poem expresses these ideas through language and perspective; the painting does so visually through allegory, composition, and symbolic details.
