Both cemeteries have a lot of history behind them by containing tombstones from the 1800s

Brianna Velasquez U.S. History ll Since 1876 Peter Hacker 4/14/2014 Freedmen’s Cemetery Memorial One thing I have to say about this particular memorial is that it’s far more emotionally involving.

The Freedman’s Memorial is a mixture of park and sculpture garden. A wrought-iron fence surrounds most of

“In The Cemetery where Al Jolson is buried” by Amy Hempel uses the word masks throughout the story to convey guilt‚ fear and unacceptance of death.

The cemetery that I visited was the Benedictine University Cemetery. It is a cemetery on campus where all of the reverends‚ pastors‚ and important religious idols affiliated with the school‚ are buried. The cemetery has a path that runs through the middle of it and it leads up to a statue of Jesus Christ on the cross. This is not a grave‚ but more a religious centerpiece that the eyes can focus on. Around the centerpiece are many rows of crosses. In front of those crosses are head stones in the ground

this paper‚ I am studying the design and use of space at Evergreen Cemetery‚ an African-American garden style cemetery‚ as a communicative landscape. I am using Hollywood Cemetery as the standard expression of a garden style cemetery in the South‚ and place the similarities and differences seen in Evergreen within the context of the society in which it was created.

Longfellow in his poem ‘The Jewish Cemetery at Newport’‚ opens the scene with a cemetery in a “sea-port town” (Line 2). He instantly creates the imagery of an ocean and waves coming into the shore‚ much like how emigrants from the old world would come upon the shores of America. Longview describes these waves as “moving up and down” (Line 4) similar to the Jewish people’s long history of struggle; on occasions they enjoy peace: the ups‚ and then there is persecution: the downs. In his second stanza
