The blue field in the top left corner which holds 50 stars for the 50 US states of America. The rest of the flag are 13 red and white stripes (7 red, 6 white) representing the original 13 colonies of Britain on the East Coast.

The blue field with the 50 stars is called the "canton" or the "union." The "field" is what contains the stripes. The "fly" is the length of the flag (left to right). The "hoist" of the flag is the height of the flag on the side that it is attached to a pole or a halyard for raising and lowering.
