    Reflecting upon my experience at the Cadron Settlement Park, I perceived the Cherokees’ experience that the Trail of Tears were presented, yet the difficulties that these Native Americans faced were misconstrued throughout the Trail of Tears site. Andrew Jackson’s pledge to forcibly move the Native Americans to a location west of the Mississippi River resulted in the Indian Removal Act in 1830. One of the largest tragedies in history, this act of relocating tribes such as the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole, and Choctaw is known as the Trail of Tears. These tribes passed through Cadron during their treacherous relocation. With over 14,000 Cherokees being relocated and 4,000 deaths; therefore, the Cadron Settlement Park should be a significant…

    The poem at the cemetery, walnut grove plantation, south carolina, 1989 by Lucille Clifton is a six stanza poem with many repetitions throughout the poem conveying the idea of how the slaves that worked in the walnut plantation were forgotten and not honored. The speaker of the poem, who is taking a tour around the plantation and cemetery, expressed anger throughout the poem as the tension slowly escalates ending with repetitions of “here lies”. Putting all the elements of the poem together, paradox and repetition, it perfectly articulates the underlying meaning of the poem, which is to remember and honor the dead slaves, men and women, whom worked in the plantation and treat them more humanely.…

    “Child’s Grave, Hale County Alabama” struck me with excellent imagery. The poem has an outstanding portrayal of exactly how difficult times were during the Depression. At first glance this poem could simply be about a man burying his child. But I believe it is much more than that, also a descriptive depiction of average families struggles during this historical rough spot for this country. It is easy for modern American’s to take for granted all of the advantages we have. Taking for granted what our predecessors had to endure for us to have these daily benefits.…

In “Brave New Neighborhoods,” Margaret Kohn describes a public space as “a place that is owned by the government, accessible to everyone without restriction, and/or fosters communication and interaction” (11). Legacy Gardens is a public space located at the back entrance of Douglas College in New Westminster, or otherwise known as New West. It is common to see students using the space to study, chat with friends, or take a smoke-break; however, the space is not inviting to the general public of New West. Legacy Gardens helps Douglas College students grow as a community, however, prevents the students from expanding their community to the general public.…

The creator should have a sense of where it will be placed, the size, significance, and the pros/cons of it. Any memorial is a stamp of history, because it outlines an important person or event. It has a chance of effecting people while appealing to their emotions in positive or negative way. So when an agency is considering memorializing an event or person in a monument one should have a feel of how it would affect the mass population.…
