    Essay 1: American Dreams What is the “golden door” (14) that Emma Lazarus refers to in her sonnet “The New Colossus”? To some‚ “golden door” may mean opportunity access to citizenship. To others‚ it might mean freedom‚ jobs‚ and safety. Historically‚ the “golden door” probably refers to the history of immigration laws that began to become more restrictive‚ culminating in the “golden door” shutting in 1882‚ effectively excluding Chinese immigrants‚ people seeking political asylum‚ anyone psychologically

    Barcelona‚ Spain. What comes to mind when you read that? I think of a place with beautiful architecture. Chock full of culture. History everywhere you step. Art permeates every air molecule; you can even feel it in the atmosphere. Musicians play the native music on various street corners‚ laughter spills out of dance halls‚ and the rhythm is one that the whole city functions to. To say it’s an ideal vacation spot is a gross understatement. That phrase doesn’t even begin to cover all that Barcelona

    In the “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus‚ Lazarus describes America as the “ Mother of Exiles‚” which is symbolic for how America had become a destination for those who had no where else to go. The “ Golden Door” that immigrants saw coming from Ellis Island was a sign that they had made it‚ they had reached the promised land. The poem by Lazarus goes; Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame‚
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
    Here at our sea-washed‚ sunset gates shall stand

    I really enjoyed the documentary East of Liberty. It is very important to talk about issues surrounding gentrification‚ especially when it is clearly happening in the neighborhoods of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has a very strong identity‚ and pushing people out of these neighborhoods takes away from the identity of our city because they are Pittsburgh. It is very easy for people who live outside of the city‚ such as myself‚ to say they are from Pittsburgh‚ but that simply is not the case. The people

    "Give me your tired‚ your poor‚ your huddled masses yearning to breathe free‚ the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these‚ the homeless‚ tempest-tossed to me‚ I lift my lamp beside the golden door!". A quote that everyone seems to know‚ but no one seems to remember the meaning behind it. Immigration is what has made America what it is today. In fact‚ there would be no America if not for immigration‚ because everyone in this country is an immigrant or is directly descended from one. Growing

    Considering the two statues‚ Seated Statue of Gudea and Statue of Memi and Sabu‚ it can be seen that the cultural context in which the statues were created plays an important role in the finished work of art. This idea that the context can play a role in the work of art being considered is first introduced to us in the Art History: A preliminary Handbook (Belton‚ 1996.). Dr. Belton notes two types of context‚ Primary and Secondary. Primary context refers to the context of the artist’s life‚
