Myles Standish Monument Analysis
The Myles Standish Monument State Reservation is located in Duxbury, MA, and is named after Myles Standish, a military leader for the Pilgrim’s 1620 expedition to Plymouth, MA. Part 30-acre reservation was once part of Standish’s farm. At the center of the reservation stands the Myles Standish Monument. The monument stands at 116 feet, 125 steps to the top, overlooking both Plymouth and Duxbury Bays. Construction began on the monument in 1872 and was not completed until 1898 due to lack of funding. In 1920, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts took control of the reservation and refurbished the monument in 1988. I was able to walk to the Myles Standish Monument State Reservation, since it is located less than a mile from my house. There is a

    The park successfully opened its gates in 1940. After the land was paid for and the loggers, and miners were gone the people of Tennessee, and South Carolina were left with a grim outlook on what was once a beautiful territory.

    Summary Of The Monuments Must Go

    The Monuments Must Go written by the Christian brothers, Jack and Warren Christian, was respectfully written to address the Mayor of Richardman Virginia, Levar Stoney’s, and the members of the Monument Avenue Commission opinions on the taking down of confederate statues, more importantly the Stonewall jackson monument. Mayor’s Stoney comment claimed that “removal of symbols does [nothing] for telling the actual truth [nor] changes the state and culture of racism in this country today.” The Christian brothers strongly disagree with the mayor's comment they argue that these monuments represent the immoral past the United States has been through and by removing these statues it mends racial disparities. They claim that they “...are…

    Tuskegee's Booker T. Washington Monument Analysis

    Ellen Daugherty’s article on Tuskegee’s Booker T. Washington Monument explores the life of Booker T. Washington, the history of the sculptor—Charles Keck, and the significant impact the sculpture made for the campus and on a larger scale, the African American community. Finished on April 5, 1922, Lifting the Veil of Ignorance: A Monument to Booker T. Washington honors Booker T. Washington for his commendable efforts towards Tuskegee Institute and his unparalleled dedication during the school’s origins (Daugherty, p.53). The statue has evolved into a historical marker, signifying the difference in ideals of the time between Washington and Du Bois. While Washington felt that industrial knowledge was much more preferred than higher education for…

    Cadron Settlement Park Tragedies In History

    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…

    Counter Monument

    What is the first thing you think of when you see a skull? It is usually not a happy thought. The usual thoughts are scary. The connotations usually associated with skulls are death, gloom, and despair. If a person were to see a skull they would most likely get freaked out. Seeing a skull means that someone has died. If someone were to go outside on Halloween while children are trick or treating, or were to go out to a haunted house, they would undoubtedly encounter multiple skeletons, or skulls. This is because they are scary, and represent death, making them perfect for the celebration of the Day of the Dead. But if you…

    Equestrian Statue Analysis

    At one point in time it was believed that there were multiple equestrian statues during the time before the Christianization of Rome. The equestrian statues were created as a representation of their imperial leaders. The Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius created around 173-176 C.E and located in Musei Capitolini, Rome, Italy is the only surviving equestrian statue from that era. The Equestrian Statue of General “Mad” Anthony Wayne, located in Freimann Square in Fort Wayne, Indiana and created around 1918 by George E.Ganiere is similar to the Equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. Both of the statues creators wanted their works of art to last throughout the years without any damage to them from weather or age.…

    Analysis of Raymond Carver's "Cathedral"

    The short story "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver displays one man's new found understanding and acceptance of a blind man over a relatively short period of time. The narrator represents the story's dominant theme of overcoming fear and prejudice of the blind through personal experience as well as mutual respect. The narrator who remains nameless throughout the play holds deeply unfounded beliefs and stereotypes of what a blind person should be, yet through various stages of transformation he develops a bond with Robert, the blind man whom at first he privately mocked and feared. The narrator is ill at ease with the idea of having a blind man in his home; however, through various stages of transformation he quickly begins to warm up to Robert as a person, not simply as a blind man. When the narrator's stereotypes of the blind are discredited, he reaches his first stage of transformation. This allows him to progress to his second stage with the realization that Robert is a capable human being. The final two stages come when the narrator allows his mind to let go of all of its prejudices and allows himself to identify with and understand Robert through his handicap.…

    The Story Of The Trail Of Tears

    The path the cherokee followed became a national monument in 1987, because of the misfigured pursuit of the indians and how they suffered. The story of the trail of tears is part of american indian history. Throughout the past 200 years, tribes have been educated all too well that acceptance of their dominance starts from scratch with each new presidential administration . The trail of tears point out the route displaced by 15 thousand cherokees during their 1838 deportation and forced to walk from georgia to indian territory (present day oklahoma). in 1971, a u.s. Treaty had recognized cherokee territory in georgia as independent, and the cherokee territory in georgia as independent, and the cherokee people had created a thriving republic…

    Michael Taylor. The Secret Bard. Washington Square Press, 1961. The author’s informative personal views make it understandable that the truth can never be reached by listening to the voice of authority. A stand reflecting Bacon’s views are that laws are made to protect the rights of the people, not to feed the lawyers. For instance, he lead many acts towards helping the state’s individualism through the people and not the laws. A good example the author explains about is how Francis pushed for his way in Parliament for union with the people from Scotland to strengthen England against threats from the continent, and pushed for expansion…

The issue with that is people are upset over the monuments because the people who are remembered on the monuments owned slaves. The people are forming rallies and often form into riots when people against the monuments and people for the monuments combine and have issues with one another. The rallies often break out into fights because of the disagreement between them, people want the monuments gone because of the bad history their culture has had with slavery and the monuments remind them of the history.…

    The Trail Of Tears

    Around twenty thousand Indians traveled the Trail of Tears either on horseback, wagons, steamboats, keelboats, or by foot (The Trail of Tears). All along this Trail of Tears were a series of stops along the way called forts. These forts were put into place for the Indians to have a place to stop and rest for a while along their tough journey and also a way for the Indians to be documented along the trail to keep a tab on them but these forts turned out to be awful living conditions for the Indians. These forts were usually overrun with human wastes and barely holding enough food for one person let alone how ever many thousands were passing through (The Trail of Tears). Many people think that the trail itself and the arduous journey killed a good amount of the Indians and that would be true but the fact that most everyone misses is that these so called “forts” that were built for the Indians were killing them just as fast (The Trail of Tears). One of these specific campsites was known as Mantle Rock. Mantle Rock was in Livingston county Kentucky and was just another stop off that the Cherokee had to make before getting back on the trail (National Park Service). The waiting at these camps were “cramped, often unhealthy, conditions meant that some of the Cherokee died at Mantle rock” (National Park Service). Many of the Indians that stayed in these “stockades” died from the lack of…

    In the short story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver, the author represents that physical appearance and personality are two different things through the characters actions. The unnamed narrator and his wife don’t know each other intimately although they live together. Consequently, after working for a blind man named Robert, the wife of the insensitive man built a friendship with him that is clearly stronger than her marriage. After ten years of keeping in touch with the blind man by sending each other audiotapes, she invites…
