Hello everybody. I would like some help with possible metaphoric meanings in these two sentences: 1. People stitched themselves to the flag. 2. They carved paving stones for the streets. Does the first sentence mean 'becoming patriotic'? And can the second sentence be read in a way to suggest that people plant their roots in a certain place? Thank you in advance for all the help.
