    The purpose of a monument is to commemorate a significant historical person or event that took place. One example of a monument is the Washington State Monument. This Monument was built to acknowledge and commemorate George Washington in his efforts as being once commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and the first American president. Not all, but in some cases monuments do have the ability to bring people together. The Washington Monument stands more as a symbol of the U.S., but it can still have the power to bring people together. One example I can think of this monument bringing us together is showing the unity of our country. Most visitors seem to appreciate the Washington Monument for its size and meaning. I personally would show great…

    Hudson was then hired by the Dutch East India Company in 1609, to try to find the Northwest Passage farther south. On this trip, in a ship called the Half Moon, Hudson sailed to Nova Scotia, and then sailed south. He found what is now called the Hudson River. Hudson is credited with discovering the location which is now New York City (although the Verrazzano had previously sailed by the area in 1524).

    During our trip the the Metropolitan Museum, our class explored various exhibits, including the Greeks, early Tribal works, Renaissance art, and 19th century art. One piece in particular that stood out to me, and reminded me of a text we’ve read this semester, was Prayer in the Mosque by Jean-Lèon Gèrome in 1871(87.15.130). This oil on canvas depicts the interior of a mosque in seventh century Egypt and reminded me of the readings we had done on Al Andalus from Jarbel Rodriguez, where the description of a mosque in Spain is found.…
