"The Star Spangled Banner" is a poem by Francis Scott Key that is also known as the United States national anthem. The author of this poem uses imagery extensively, as he employs vivid language that allows the reader to create a vivid picture in his mind. The author describes the aftermath of the battle in the text using images of mist and darkness. This contributes to developing the setting. He also talks about the change from night to morning and the rays of light that illuminate the banner.

Moreover, he uses several symbols. He talks about footprints to show the arrogance of the British when fighting the Americans. He also talks about these footprints being washed by blood, which is a symbol for their defeat. He also employs the symbol of the banner or flag to convey the idea of America and its role as the land of the free.
