In Frank Romero's painting "Going to the Olympics, 1984" There are cars waiting in traffic, palm trees, hearts above each car, Olympic Stamp, a racing horse, a blimp that says "Good Year" on it, wrestling men, and an iron.

Doc 5 is about Japan hosting the Olympic games and how Japan was not taken seriously due to losing WW2 until they were able to be viewed as equals during the olympic games. This shows how Japan might not have ever been viewed as a proud nation and world power without the equality that the olympic games brought. Overall, many nations flourish under the Olympic games neutrality and could possibly even bring permanent peace to the world. One document that would be useful to see more about the intentions of the Olympics would be a document from another branch of the olympics on Russia hosting the olympics to see the real reason why Moscow was picked to host the games that
In addition, being the founder of the Olympic games, it’s possible that there is an intention to make it see more peaceful in order to get more to attend. The second to do this is document 5, which talks of the immense pressure from Japan during post World War II times to host the 1964 Olympic games. Japan at the time was viewed as very weak by the rest of the world, and their intent in hosting the Olympic games was to restore their place as a trade power. The document speaks that the Olympics brought Japan back to a stable situation by the “magic” of the Olympics, meaning that the Olympics helped other countries realise Japan was capable of great feats, and therefore wish to trade with them. The third document to speak on this is document 6.
In the mural image "Going to the Olympics" by Frank Romero, the author uses Los Angeles city as inspiration to create his art. Romero uses a combination of bright and pastel colors that represent the warm whether of this city. Los Angeles is a city with a wonderful whether that gives people the opportunity to travel around each corner of this city. Also in his mural Romero shows a cartoon-like style to depict five cars driving in a row against a backdrop of palm trees; a valentine heart hovered above each vehicle, which can be considered as symbols. For example I can infer that the cars and the road can represent how travelers people at Los Angeles are, and the hearts can represent the love people have towards the city and their cars.

This is a problem because this means there is more than one god in the Christian religion, which very strongly based around the belief in one true God.

However, with the upcoming games taking place in Rio de Janeiro the games will not express British national and cultural identity, it will express Brazilian national and cultural identity.
