Historical Recurrence "A favorite theory of mine to wit‚ that no occurrence is sole and solitary‚ but is merely a repetition of a thing which has happened before‚ and perhaps often”(Twain). This quote from a famous writer‚ Mark Twain‚ talks about how he believes that history can and does repeat itself.

into memorializing an event or person and in creating a monument‚ what must groups and agencies consider? What is it that makes a monument stand out from all the rest‚ is it the bold message the monument states‚ is it preserving the monument‚ or is it the monuments location?

I have one main idea for my monument. I want to create a fountain called “Reality Check.” If you google a picture of a wastewater treatment plant‚ there are giant circles filled with water‚ these are called clarifiers. So I think a large‚ circular pool of water could be the base of my fountain. In the middle of the circle will be a toilet with water spewing from the back‚ but not just any toilet. I want it to be a toilet covered in mirrors‚ as well as a toilet modeled after the very first flushing
