At the Grand Canyon the conditions are not great for metals. The temperatures have highs in the one hundreds. The lows of the Grand Canyon are only seventy to eighty degrees. The bottom of the grand canyon only gets nine inches of rain a year. The bottom also has a massive river. That puts a lot more water in the equation. This made it so you would need a strong material.…

A statue represents someone who once stood and was firm about certain ideals, but is now gone. In terms of this issue, a statue can represent where we once stood because in one sense a statue is seen as a representation of history. If the statue was to be relocated, I would strongly recommend it be exhibited at the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society because it is through this institution historians can provide a synopsis of objective facts, regarding Christopher…

The reason why I feel that there is a need to visit this landmark is because it’s so much different than the other monuments that I have already seen, and the ones that we will visit in Boston. When I went to Washington DC I visited some magnificent monuments, however none of them really had wildlife and living nature exposed…
In my point of view, history portrays the past. While reading a American history book, people would only focus on the essential events that trigger their emotions; however, they should recognize the American history are dominated by three elements- race, class, and gender. In the rest of the assignment, I would use several primary sources documents to analyze how gender had made a big impact in the American history. It would signify the hardships that women endured in different period of time which began with women proclaimed the right to vote; next, young girls opened to the environment and worked in urban areas; then, the success of women suffrage; lastly, losing their own identity.…

New York City's soaring skyline wouldn't be the same without the Empire State Building. Reaching 1,250 feet, it hold the title of the seventh tallest building in the world. It remained the worlds tallest building for 41 years until the World Trade Center topped it off and seven followed. Built during the depression in 1930 and 1931, it cost a whopping 41 million dollars. The engineer who took on this giant project was H.G. Balcom. The design of the building changed 16 times during planning, but the 3,000 workers managed to pull it off in record timing, 1 year and 45 days, including holidays and Sundays. This skyscraper is made of 60,000 tons of steel, 200,000 cubic feet of Indiana limestone and granite, 10 million bricks, and 730 tons of aluminum and stainless steel. The Empire State Building contains 3,194,547 light bulbs, 50 miles of radiator pipe, 70 miles of water pipe, 1,060 miles of telephone cable, and 7,450 tons of refrigeration equipment. In 1945, a B-25 Bomber on its way to Newark Airport in New Jersey crashed into the 79th floor only causing minor damage luckily. One hundred tons of trash are removed from the building each month. A small known fact is that the building is designed to serve as a lighting rod for the surrounding area. It is struck about 100 times per year. There are 1,575 stairs to the top floor, the 86th, and Paul Crake holds the record of 10 minutes and 15 seconds to reach the 86th floor. The Empire State Building was one of the best crafted skyscrapers ever built and will always mount above the New York…

The story behind the Statue of Liberty is that it was a gift from French people to the United State in honor of the Centennial of American Independence in 1886. “It was designated as an American National Monument in 1924” (Hugo, V, 2013). It was designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, who got the idea about the design of Liberty while he was on a visit to U.S. He got a creative thought in designing the statue which will represent freedom all over the world.

According to Merriam Webster dictionary online, a statue is; ‘’usually a person, animal or mythical being made from stone, marble, metal etc.. a three dimensional representation of a person, animal or mythical being produced by sculpturing, modeling, or casting. (Webster Dictionary Online, n.d.).’’ The statue of Memi and Sabu as well as the seated statue of Gudea has a great historical and cultural value in art history. Back in the Middle Ages, statues were used in telling stories of culture and societies and a form of enlightenments to the people as opposed to the modern day writing and digital designs which is readily available for use. It helps to inform us of how ancient people thought, their practice, culture and religion. In this essay, I will compare and contrast the Egyptian statue of Memi and Sabu and the statue of Gudea from the Neo –Sumerian culture.…
The Eiffel Tower was built for the World Exhibition in 1889, held in celebration of the French Revolution in 1789. It took 2 years, 2 months and 5 days to complete the tower and it was inaugurated on 31 March, 1889 and was open to public from the 6th of May. Gustave designed a 984 foot open lattice, wrought iron tower that mesmerized people around the world for its aesthetic looks. The base of the tower is formed by four semi-circular arcs. These arcs were built due to Gustave 's artistic sense and by his engineering thoughtfulness. Eiffel Tower is made from pure iron, although it is a common notion that it is built of steel. Gustave used puddle iron, that is, a type of traditional wrought iron, to build a very strong tower. Gustave has designed the tower in such a way, that every worn out individual part, can be replaced easily. It is interesting to know, that the massive windstorm in 1999 damaged many Paris monuments, but no harm came to this wonder tower. .The construction was only meant to last for the duration of the Exposition, but it still stands today, despite all protests from contemporary artists who feared the construction would be the advent of structures without 'individuality ' and despite the many people who feared that this huge 'object ' would not fit into the architecture of Paris. Today, there is no such aversion anymore among the Parisians, and one could not imagine Paris without the Eiffel Tower, in fact it has become the symbol of the City of Light.…
