Monuments

The first monument that I find interesting is the Washington monument, because it is the national

mall in D.C. and it was built to commemorate George Washington who at the time was

commander and chief of the continental army, and of course our president, it was built in the

year 1848. The second monument I liked was D.C. war memorial. This piece of artwork is a

memorial, for all of the citizens that served in world war one, and all of their names are written in

there as well. This piece was built in 1924. I like this one because of the pillars and the dome at

the top, it looks really nice, and everything looks really well put together, it just looks peaceful,

there’s no complex thing to it or anything you have to think hard about, it’s just peaceful. The third

monument that caught my attention was the Titanic memorial, this statue is very neat, because it

is made entirely out of marble, and it was made to honor the men that risked their lives for the

women, and children on the titanic as it was sinking, it was created in 1931. When I first saw this

picture, I thought it was a cross, because of the way the guy had his arms out, so i’m assuming

it’s suppose to have a cross to represent that the guys that died in the titanic passed away and

they’re in our prayers now, they’re in heaven. This piece is really pretty. All of the monuments

and memorials you can tell they’ve have had a lot of work put into them, they’re huge statues,

and they all have a good reason for being built. All of the monuments in D.C. are pretty close to

each other, so if you ever go to Washington D.C. you have easy access to the many beautiful

monuments that are all worth admiring. I like how they build these memorials in consideration of

other people, and giving them recognition for what they have done, like fight in world war one or

risk your life for the value of others, without these memorials we would never know the history

behind things like that, so this is a really good thing, and the fact that we have a lot shows that

we care about our citizens, and want people to know what they’ve done for us, and it’s a way of

thanking them for their heroic acts.
