The New Colossus

For as long as humans have existed, they have always found some way to entertain themselves. Even the earliest societies have left evidence of some sort of activity or hobby that they used as a form of entertainment. Perhaps the most famous building that was used as a form of entertainment is the Roman Colosseum, also known as the Flavian amphitheater. In ancient Rome, the most popular form of entertainment was the gladiator fights. These fights, usually among animals and trained public fighters, were staged in open arenas in a city's forum. There is evidence

Rome’s great gladiatorial arena is the most breathtaking monument of the city's ancient sights. Built in AD 80, this Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, sat 50,000 people and was covered in travertine, shadowed by a huge canvas awning sprung up by 240 masts. The inside levels of seating encircled the arena that was built over an underground complex where animals were caged and the stage sets prepared. Entertainment involved gladiators fighting wild animals or fighting one another.

We should still and forever follow the wise words of the poem, “The New Colossus”. It represents everything that America stands for. Freedom of religion, all the wars that we have fought in for freedom, and the freedom for immigrants are important reasons to keep this poem alive. We should always have this poem as America’s mantra and should always keep it on the base of the Statue of Liberty. It stands up for freedom of all

The Statue of Liberty, located on Ellis Island, has welcomed thousands of people to the “land of the free, and the home of the brave” as our national anthem states. According to migrationpolicy.org, about thirteen and a half percent of America’s population are immigrant. Although half of the immigrants coming to America do not speak English, they are greeted by Emma Lazarus’ poem, “The New Colossus”. The quote,

Attention: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” (Emma Lazarus). This sentence can be found in the poem “The New Colossus,” written by Emma Lazarus in 1883. It can also be found inscribed on the Statue of Liberty towering over the New York Harbor, a bright beacon symbolizing the freedom and democracy we hold so esteemed in America. Immigrants founded the United States and immigrants are arguably who made our nation so great. However, when immigrants do not follow the process to acquire legal citizenship into the United States is when the problems arise.

We went to the store and bought toiletries, bread, peanut butter and jelly, water, juice boxes, and many other things to distribute to the homeless around town. These items were essentials that were desperately needed by these people, and the money we raised in order to get these items went a long way. We were very nervous about just walking up to people and passing these things out, the idea of a stranger coming up to you and handing you items is a scary thought in itself, but being on the other end is even scarier because you don’t know how others will react.

I thoroughly enjoyed this portfolio. I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Pi Chi Chapter here at Stockton University. This was not only a campus activity with my chapter, and the Stockton Community, but it was an international community service project for the sorority in itself, which has over 283,000 members. The community service project included all members of the sorority to turn in 1 backpack to the sorority to be donated to children who were unable to receive school supplies, for whatever issue, where their parents were unable to afford school supplies. I was fortunate enough to see one of the schools that Alpha Kappa Alpha donated to which was a school in Camden, and which is a place where poverty is extremely high. To turn in my backpack, my chapter and I attended North Atlantic Regional Round-Up where about 400 backpacks were collected and over 4,555 school supplies were collected. Not only did Alpha Kappa Alpha help increase the quality of a child’s education, but they donated in areas where poverty is also very high, so that students could have the resources that they needed to succeed in school, which made me feel like I

For our Military project me Tamia and Brianna made a American flag plaque for a special friend. We

Talking about America living up to their so called “promises”, “statements” whatever you want to call it. America has the tendency of not following all the rules or laws that they themselves have created. Between 1877 and 1945 did the United States live up to Emma Lazarus ' poem which is engraved on the Statue of Liberty? While, reading her poem “The New Colossus”, there was a sense that Emma Lazarus believed that the United States of America would had let anyone come into the state no matter of what the person’s situation and/or lifestyle they lived, basically “what happens in their country stays in their country”, America would be a fresh new start of life. The way she viewed America and the way America is viewed by many others upon this earth have some similarities and differences in various of ways. Therefore, her ideas of America being a “gratifying and inviting” place is just a belief comparing it to what this country is actually about, when it comes to the level of patience and actions with we the people and how America reacts. There are nine sources that explains Americas perception and views on certain topics.

Service Knights are a club that solely focuses on community service and beautification in our school, community, and city. I’ve been in this club since it first started and every year we do fundraisers and collect donations at our school and around our community to help support and give awareness to an organization of our choice. For our first year of the club we were going to donate to an organization, but needed to decide on which to donate to. We did research and decided to do to give the Los Angeles LGBT Center, which is a Center that provides services for LGBT people like offering programs, services, and global advocacy for education, health, and housing services. We painted and then placed several donation boxes all around our school,

The book of Colossians could have been written by Paul, though it is also possible it was later attributed to him and written by one of his followers. Harris points out that if Paul was the author, it would have been before he had visited the church in Colossae, and would have been written in prison during the time he wrote the letter to Philemon (Harris, 2014). The argument for the work then would be that it covers many of the same topics, as well as lists the same people while reaching out to those within the church, including Luke (Harris, 2014). The church at Colossae is believed to have been founded by an apostle Paul knew, meaning that it is entirely possible, if not likely that he would have known about the church and used his status

The Head of Constantine or Colossus of Constantine was a statue made of the first Christian Roman emperor Constantine the Great who ruled during the late Imperial period. The sculpture was originally placed in the west apse of Basilica Nova also called Basilica Maxentius which is part of the Roman Forum. This symbolizes Constantine’s time as emperor and the subsequent changes that happened after his rule. Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople (Istanbul) which caused the fall of the Roman Empire in the middle ages.

The Colosseum was first built in 70-80 CE in Regio IV Templum Pacis, which is in Rome Italy today. Measuring some 620 by 513 feet, the Colosseum was the largest amphitheater in the Roman world. Unlike many earlier amphitheaters, which had been dug into hillsides to provide adequate support, the Colosseum was a freestanding structure made of stone and concrete. The Colosseum could seat up to 80 thousand people. The Colosseum was a gift to the Roman people from Emperor Vespasian.

The colosseum was built in 72 C.E. The massive stadium was commissioned by the emperor Vespasian as a gift for the people. The emperor Nero had built a huge lake all for himself. When Nero committed suicide and Vespasian became emperor, he drained the lake and and started building the colosseum over it. This was built over something that was made for one selfish person and built something for the people to share. It took 8 years to build. Sadly Vespasian died before he could see the grand opening of the colosseum leaving it to his son Titus to finish his work. Amphitheater means double theater.

Therewas so many famous monuments of the ancient worldthat we studied in class but none other will leave me an impression quite like the Colosseum in Rome.The Roman Coliseum was a masterpiece and a manifestation of the advance of ancient Roman architecture. In addition, the Roman Colosseum was a cultural center that attracted people from different parts of Rome and the Mediterranean. In fact, The Coliseum was a cultural center of the ancient world that made it important from the artistic and cultural point of view. Colosseum was the entertainment center and one of the most important architectural works of ancient Rome because it played an important cultural, social and political role in Rome. Colosseum was a truly colossal work of Ancient architecture because architects were able to create the magnificent monument using resources and technologies available to the ancient Romans at that time in the history. At the same time, the Colosseum represent not only the technological achievements of the ancient Romans, but also the cultural traditions, norms and standards of ancient Roman society.
