The Monster's Statue Of Liberty

In 1865 when the American Civil War was close to the end, a French historian Edouard de Laboulaye suggested that France should create and give to the United States a statue that would symbolize the nation’s success in building a viable democracy. However, because of the lock of money, the work on the statue didn’t start until the end of 1875. The creator of the statue is the French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi who created the statue out of sheets of hammered copper and Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel, the creator of Eiffel Tower created the statue’s steel frame. The female form represented by the sculpture is based on Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty. The statue was given to the United States and was

War is something that everyone has seen, whether it be up close and personal or through a screen, but it is clear, no matter where you are, that is it a liability for everyone involved. War was nothing more than a burden for the United States during World War I. It was no good and had the potential of affecting America negatively, economically, politically, and socially. George Washington conveys this idea in his Farewell Address. He states, “So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with

When America fought in both World War I and World War II, the Revolutionary War, and many more, we were fighting for the freedom of others or the freedom of ourselves. For example, America fought for the freedom of the Jews, the slaves, and any others. Even though those wars were fought many years ago, we still should fight for the freedom of others and the freedom of ourselves.

“Yesterday, December 7th, 1941’” began President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the day following Japan’s fateful attack on Pearl Harbor, resulting in the in the tragic loss of nearly two and a half thousand American lives. A date so famously proclaimed to ‘forever live in infamy,’ and so it has. This inspiring speech to Congress and the American people employed appeals and other techniques in it’s mission to touch America’s heart, both with sympathy and indignation. President Roosevelt’s use of rhetoric is extremely effective in rallying the American people to the cause of entering a war so many were reluctant to support.

He is not only convincing, but also relatable to the audience. FDR states, “We are now fighting to maintain our right to live among our world neighbors in freedom, in common decency, without fear of assault” (Roosevelt par. 4). He is explaining the purpose of getting involved in the war. He appeals to the audience’s sense of logic in this statement by justifying the nation’s involvement in the war and making them understand that it is necessary. In this line, FDR it implying that if the Americans do not get involved in the war, their freedom will be stripped from them. He is showing them a possible consequence if they continue their isolationist policies which instills fear within them and makes them desire change. In this line, FDR makes the nation feel like a team. By using the word “our,” FDR shows that it is a team effort and that no one person is better than another. He is implying that they are all equals and it is their duty to fight to protect their right to freedom. In saying this, FDR is establishing the idea that the nation must fight as a team and win to keep the freedom that Americans currently have.

The symbol of the Statue of Liberty clearly represents the idea of immigration. According to the Collins Dictionary, the definition of immigration is, “The movement of non-native people into a country in order to settle there.”

War- a state of organized, armed, and often prolonged conflict, typified by extreme aggression, social disruption, and usually high mortality. War is inevitable; people thrive on the idea of war, engaging in bloody affairs, a chance to fight for their freedom and Americas freedom. The public reads of these bloody affairs, in the headlines splattered all over the television screen, imagining in their head the idea of war, the idea of blood, dead bodies, and weapons. Images of war would only put fear and anger into Americans, yet in times of war, the media has an obligation to provide the citizens of America, with these images of war, even if they are terrifying, violent, and bloody. If Americans do not

American citizens provided fuel to the war effort whilst the government engaged in propaganda campaigns to raise money and troops. This agrees with David W Koeller’s view that “The high infiltration of Pro-British propaganda made it impossible for the US to remain neutral and not engage in the war.” All in all, the American people helped provide the foundations to make the world safe for democracy and ultimately aided the allies in winning the war.

In “America” by Claude McKay, the author tells about how the statue of liberty is a part of American freedom and how it means a difference to immigrants coming in. in the passage the author explains, “yet as a rebel fronts a king in state, I stand within her walls with not a shred of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.” the author is a rebel to the state he immigrated from. Also He feels confident in the beginning life beyond the beauty of the statue of liberty. The author believes he’s protected by the new country, and that’s what America is, freedom and

This war would become known by many names over the years: The Great War, The War to End All War, and, since 1939 World War I. Two days after President Wilson’s War Message was delivered to Congress, Senator Robert La Follette gave a speech opposing American’s involvement in that War. During Sen. La Follette speech he stated, “These messages indicate on the part of the people a deep-seated conviction that the United States should not enter the European war…” This statement represents the feelings of the majority of those Americans opposing the U.S. involvement in the war. Had I lived during 1917, I would have been opposed to the war, and been in support of Sen. La Follette. This in whole because of the statement by President Wilson in his address, “…The present German submarine warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind…” One word stands out to me from this quote and that word is “commerce.” I feel as though if I am going to fight in a war, my fight will be for those things that deprive the American people of their inalienable rights, and not for the increase of profits for rich

Aside from the general nationalism in the form of increased military and activism exhibited by the American people, the propaganda effort also increased the chance of war success through the sense of individualism and importance instilled in those who weren’t on the battlefield. Many resources were “important to conserve during the war effort,” and posters geared toward conservation composed one out of every seven propaganda posters made between 1941 and 1945

If you aren’t united you won’t be able to go to war against the opposition. Similarly to the way how a successful protest is made up of having many people unite against a certain cause. From the Visual Propaganda “Join or Die” the selection states,”The purpose of the cartoon was to urge the colonies to unite against the French in the French and Indian War. During the American Revolution, it took a new meaning as a symbol of colonial protest against Great Britain.” The way this quote is connected to my second reason is because it showed how citizens were asking people to join them in fighting the war against the

The term “war” is a scary word that brings terrible memories especially to the families that lost someone on WWII, and left many with mental and physical scars. Even though seventy-two years had pass, we can still see the impact that this war left not just in the United State but the rest of the world. This war is know as the “Good War” because despite all the destruction it caused it actually brought positive changes in America that still effect us today.

“good war” for America because it made them a higher power like they are today.     

This one, along with no 8 are still on my bucket list but I felt they needed mentioning. This forest, more known as Park of the monsters (Parco dei mostri in Italian) is located in Bomarzi, Northers Lazio. The gardens were created in the 16th century. The park was not intended to please , but to astonish, and it’s symbolism is not always easy to desipher. The many monsterous statues are said to be unconected and are places randomly around the area. Sol per sfogare il Core (just to let the heart free) as one inscription on the obelisk says.
