Statues and shrines of Our Lady of Consolation can be found in thousands of cities around the world. Constructed of marble, wood, or other stone, these replicas hold a special aura about them. One such sculpture of Our Lady of Consolation, located in Leopold, Indiana, has a fascinating history entirely its own. July 4, 2002 marked the 135th year since the statue had reached the shores of America (Hackmann 1). As the result of a promise, the replica of Our Lady found its new home in southern Indiana. Following their capture and shipment to the horrid Civil War prison at Andersonville, four young men—Isidore Naviaux, Henry Devillez, Lambert Rogier, and Xavier Rogier—endured appalling conditions and made an oath to pay tribute to Our

The values of equality and justice coupled with the promises of freedom remain immoveable like the cooper medium and the stone foundation of which the statue arises. An icon ingrained it the spirit of the United States, the Statue of Liberty is the physical representation of American ideals. It is the “light of liberty” that illuminates the path for the “tired,” and the “poor,” seeking shelter from the shadows of tyranny and persecution. The statue has been symbol of hope in a better future and a new beginning to immigrants seeking a fresh start. Ideals, along with the symbols that represent them, however are merely man made. And like the

In Document B, the picture displays Lady Liberty, the Statue of Liberty, as well as several people on the ground moving West. This indicates that the American people, represented by the Statue of Liberty, are moving to undeveloped land to grow their country, using the machines shown in the painting, and their opportunities. While wanting to move West the Americans wanted territory that belongs to Mexico. The Americans wanted that land to expand the territory of the United States. The Americans prepared for battle and soon after, the Mexican-American War occurred.

It is thought by many that Christopher Columbus was a skilled sailor on a mission of greed. Many think that he in fact did it all for the money, honor and the status that comes with an explorer, but this is not the case entirely. Columbus was an adventurer and was enthused by the thrill of the quest of the unknown. “Columbus had a firm religious faith and a scientific curiosity, a zest for life, the felling for beauty and the striving for novelty that we associate with the advancement of learning”. He had heard of the legendary Atlantic voyages and sailors reports of land to the west of Madeira and the Azores. He believed that Japan was about 4,800 km to the west of Portugal. In 1484, Columbus wanted support for an exploratory

There is no doubt that Edward Cornwallis statue has certain significance. Although the statue has been around for nearly 100 years, it is still intact. The statue of Cornwallis was created by the Scottish sculptor J. Massey Rhind and was unveiled at its eponymous park on June 22, 1931. It was considered the 182nd anniversary of Cornwallis’s arrival and watched as the natal day. (Announcement, 1931) The statue looks attentively to forward, wears a cloak, left hand clenches commanding sword, right hand holds a cocked hat, bronze figures throughout the mottled with grooves, eyes reveal that strong ambition and tenacity of one generation leader. The statue has a straight body, burly back symbolize the courage of Cornwallis and the magnificent imperialism. The statue is located at center of Cornwallis Park, the fields were lush with grass and flowers, and tall trees are in order, cluster of dandelion open in the thick grass, the birds singing on the branch, a group of pigeons were pecking at the crumbs that people spilled on the ground. Many tourists who drove to Halifax were watching the park and the statue through the window, and they often use the camera to record here. Five clean paths were staggered between the bright meadows in the park. Some of the entertainment devices such as swings and slides are built in the park for children to play and exercise. There are often many old people enjoying the afternoon sun in long deckchairs. It is hard to imagine that there is a lot of

The fascination with Native Americans has been a constant with outsiders since explorers first “discovered” the New World. The biggest surge in this fascination came in the mid-19th century when the Indian Wars were starting to come to an end and the belief that Native Americans were disappearing, walking into the sunset never to be seen again. This led to an increase in the collecting of anything Native American, from artifacts to stories to portraits. The inevitable outcome of this was that Native Americans, who were never considered very highly to begin with, where now moved into a category of scientific interest to be study. This scientific interest in Native Americans is what many museums and other institutions based their collections and exhibits on and is one of the issues that many Native Americans have with how both their people and their culture were, and to some extent still are, represented in these places.

From Trajan’s Column, completed in 113 AD, to the statue of Christopher Columbus in Easton, Pennsylvania, monuments and memorials have been a significant element of celebration and honor throughout history (Source B). Though monuments are typically meant as a symbol of honor, recent controversy over statues dedicated to Confederate leaders and generals has sparked the debate over how to choose subjects to memorialize, and the actual development of these memorials. When considering what or who to honor, one must also consider the subjects impact on history, ensuring that it is positive.

Emmanuel Leutze’s painting Washington Crossing the Delaware shares some similarities with David Shulman’s poem “Washington Crossing the Delaware”; however, the dissimilarities are more abundant. These works of art and literature portray the scene of that remembered Christmas day when Washington and his army set out to conquer to Hessian people. Although they have similarities, there are some differences in these works that are nothing less than noticeable. Join me in observing the similarities and dissimilarities in these pieces.

(11) Leutze uses logos in his painting by giving us a factual event even if it is modified to showcase his point. The viewers

In fact, the Expedition had been so momentous in American History in that not only does the Expedition ultimately realize the aforementioned colonial dream to find a route to connect the Atlantic to the Pacific , but the overall magnitude of the expedition’s significance ultimately puts the Louisiana Purchase as well as other accomplishments of Jeffersonian presidency, into perspective. Thus, by further exploring the revolutionary context of the Louisiana Purchase and the War of 1803, in addition to analyzing the central figures of the Expedition, we can better observe the profound impact the Corps of Discovery has brought upon to better define the American national

The Statue of Liberty is one of the most well know symbols of the United States, across the world. For this reason I chose to analyze the dramatic effect it creates, and what methods it implores to invent this "universal" meaning. It is one of the strongest visual representations of the ideals which our country is founded upon. I intend to defend the argument that the Statue of Liberty posses the power of persuading human thought using the terms encompassed in Kenneth Burke's Pentad, shaping the definition of "America" for people through out the world.

There are few objects that can be compared to the significance of the figure known as the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the greatest works of its time and still stands today as a meaningful entity of independence to the world. The statue is a great tribute to the concept of global freedom that had its roots in America. It was created to display the worldwide objective of peace and tranquility. The fact that another model of this icon stands today in a world capital shows the effect that this figure has inscribed upon the world. In addition, it represents the ideas that the United States was built upon and those that the people have lived by to this very day. Its most paramount features in its role through American history are its
