I chose to write about the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty serves as a symbolic fixture of the principles America was founded on. She represents freedom, liberty, and opportunity. The location of the Statue of Liberty is an amazing feat in itself, it is right in the middle of a very wide and a very deep Hudson river, and at the time it was brought there, with the limited technology, was amazing. Adding to the location, The State of Liberty as everyone knows is right next to the old customs ports where thousands of hungry, and poor immigrants fresh off the boat would pass through looking for a better life. The fact that Liberty is a woman is an ingenious idea because a woman tends to be more sympathetic and willing to help, if Liberty was a man the statue would seem more cold, stiff, and even militant. Throughout history statues have been built to represent a great moment but the Statue of Liberty was build to symbolize a great idea and country. At that time in history people were flocking to America because they were either being persecuted in their home countries or they were just disappointed at the status of their lives and wanted to come to “the land of opportunity” to start a new life.
This is a great symbol of art because The Statue of Liberty is magnificent in every way, and serves its purpose to a superb level. Like I mentioned previously, “location, location, location .. “ the statue’s location was perfect back in the days of Ellis Island and is perfect now as a tourist site. Shortly after the immigrants on the boats first spotted the land of their new homes, they came into the Hudson river to see this grand statue, and to most people it wasn’t just some lady who was standing in the middle of a river, it was the lady who was going to free them or help them from their inadequate lives.
The statue of Hatshepsut seated down is made with the material limestone. This limestone is lightly colored, which created a larger contrast with the other statues nearby. Her face was carved bringing out her eyes, eyebrows and other facial features. Her eyebrows also come slightly together towards the middle. Her lips forming a slight archaic smile. The dimensions are larger than an average female size. The statue is of great size, yet still in proportion. The body and head fit well with each other overall. However, it is greatly exaggerated in size.
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. It is located in Paris, France on the Champ de Mars. Construction was completed in 1889, just in time for the 1889 Universal Exposition. At the time of completion, it was the tallest structure in the world and held the title for forty-one years. It was the first man made structure to surpass one thousand feet. Today it is the second tallest structure in France after the Millau Viaduct. This project which seems to have followed a design-build approach was managed by head engineer and company owner, Gustave Eiffel.
During an English class we were asked to do a research project about an influential, American citizen who has changed the American culture in some way. It was hard figuring out who I would write my paper about, because there are so many different people that have contributed to the American culture in some way. Then I was thinking about big pop stars that have done something important in their lives, and I thought about the unforgettable Whitney Houston. Finally, I decided to do my project on her to learn about Whitney's life, what she has done, and why is she influential to the American culture.
There are many people who have contributed to society as a whole, men and women both. Some have contributed much more than others. One of them being Sandra Day O’Connor. I did not know too much about Sandra Day O’Connor until I read her background history. She was a very significant role in history; she was the first woman to be appointed as a justice in Supreme Court. She proved to the country that it does not matter what your gender is, she showed everyone that she had what it took to make it in the world. She was a very successful woman and a great inspiration to women at this time in the world. Obviously women had a hard time getting to that status with women being looked at as inferior to men. Her dedication, determination, and the fact she changed history drastically is a reason I chose to write my final over her.
Despite best her best efforts Abigail Adams wasn’t entirely successful in her efforts to revolutionize the rights of women as well as what it means to be a women, she made a lasting impact. Although powerful and persuasive women were frowned upon and shunned, she was always ready and willing to use her position as the first lady to her advantage. She brought equalization and womens rights to the surface, leaving the legacy and power to the next women who wanted to join the
Using these rhetorical strategies, Elizabeth Cady Stanton delivered a powerful speech to both supporters and non-supporters of her mission. The way she used these rhetorical strategies really influenced the audience to take a stand against the prejudice imposed on women and eventually women were given more rights. Stanton went above and beyond in helping other women escape from oppression and just like other great speakers she will be remembered. However, she will not be just remembered for what she did in helping people, she will be remembered for her inspiring words and ability to give such stimulating speeches.
Washington, DC is a spectacular place. This being my first time in DC, I was in awe of everything and all the historical places I encountered. The presence of the monuments and history is what made the capitol so magnificent. Having only read about the Lincoln memorial, I never had the chance to experience the sensation of being inside such an honorable place of importance. The imposing white marble walls of the memorial and the many people surrounding it could be seen from afar. Arriving at the location, an unknown feeling came over me. I was experiencing history in a whole different level. When I think about a memorial, the term remembrance comes to mind. Seeing the statue of Abraham Lincoln brought pieces of memories from history class and evoked thoughts of what it might have felt like to be in his shoes. I was astonished by the statue’s enormousness and how grand Abraham Lincoln looked in his chair. The size of the statue compared to pictures from books and elsewhere was surreal. Abraham Lincoln was a very “powerful and prominent individual” in the history of our nation, the statue’s design and size reflected upon that. Looking around me, I wanted to know what the others thoughts were on seeing his statue and how they felt in that building. I finally had the courage to ask one or two people what they thought; they all had the same appreciation as me. Hearing about an important person or learning about them in a history book gives you vast knowledge but it doesn’t evoke the feeling of utter appreciation as the memorial does. When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, many people wanted to build a memorial in honor of him. They wanted to be able to show how important he was to shaping our nation and to “honor his existence”.

This symbol represents the notion that freedom should be free flowing and should not be interrupted other than for the reasons that arose in the constitution. This is because men are born free and neither religion nor social grounds should be reason enough to deny that freedom. When the founding fathers embedded freedom into the constitution, they intended it to be passed on to generations after generations for eternity through the. The national freedom party seeks to restore the same vision by ensuring that the basic human inheritance, individual freedom, is protected for generations to come. This mandate resonates with the wishes of many Americans (Saad, 2013).

It shows that Negros were able to purchase their freedom and purchase the freedom of their family members. It shows a sense of equality in the way that free blacks could go to court and potentially win cases against white farmers. Free blacks owning slaves and indentured servants, some of which were white, could also be seen as equality. It also shows how free blacks had a thought of a future in the way that they drew up wills in which their family members were granted land and livestock. Knowing that white farming landowners and free blacks lived together in a sense of harmony goes back to the main theme of Myne Owne Ground. It shows that slavery is indeed an embarrassment to our nation. Knowing that blacks and whites were able to live together, trade, and be civil towards each other shows that slavery was unfounded and not
On the statue of Michael Jordan there is a quote that is engraved in the bright black stand that is “The best there ever was. The best there will ever be.”
The Statue of a kouros and the Portrait statue of a boy both depict similar subjects, however are greatly different in how they accomplish this task. Through detail, or lack there of, the Greeks and Romans are able to display a certain value they have in its members. These two statues were made about 500 years apart and approach the sculpting process quit differently. The Greek statue seems to use geometric exaggerated lines to form the body while the Romans use a more realistic approach and sculpt the body with a more rounded finish. Statue of a kouros, from about 590 B.C and Portrait of a boy, from about the first century, do not share any great technical aspects and are basically nothing alike.

In 1865, Edvouvard de Laboulaye, of France, thought of the idea to build the Statue of Liberty while he was on a visit to New York. He commissioned Frederick-Auguste Bartholdi to design the statue. Barthholdi needed someone with experience with building the outer skeletons of statues, so he asked for the assistance of Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. While designing Liberty the two sculptors kept a few things in mind of how they wanted it to look. The first idea came from an artist’s sketch in the 1870’s that revealed how a statue (not Liberty) rose over the roof tops of Paris. They also knew they were putting it in the New York Harbor for a reason and that was so it would always have an audience and could greet immigrants into America. Bartholdi’s mother and girlfriend were the models for how the arms and body were portrayed, and at the bottom of Lady Liberty are chains of tyranny which represent a women’s escape for freedom.

...woman And, while she may not have earned women the right to vote or gained women admission into institutes of higher education, she stood up for herself in a normal everyday situation, and that’s a start. She is a woman who was one of the exceptions in her era; she was not just a woman on a roof, but rather a hero of her generation.
