    Mount Rushmore

    The moument that that I picked was called the Mount Rushmore. The person that bulit Mount Rushmore is Gutzon Borglum. This moument was built in 1927 and they finished in 1941. It comemorates Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington,Abe Licoln and Theodore Roosevelt. This is my favorite moument because it shows all the presidents that helped our country in there own way. Also I like this statue because it looks very powerful. I don't like this moument because I think that white men taking away the Native Americans land wasn't right because that was a place where they went to pray and talk to there God. That is the details on Munt Rushmore.

  3. The monument that I picked is the Washington monument. I picked this monument because it’s my favorite monument. It’s my favorite monument because I really don’t know why it’s my favorite monument I just is.
    The Washington monument was designed by Robert Mills and it was built in the year 1848 and was finished in the year 1884 so it took 36 year for Robert Mills to build the monument.
    The monument commemorates the first U.S. president, General George Washington. That is that answers of the questions that you asked me.

  6. I picked the “Lincoln Monument”. Henry Bacon, Daniel Chester French, and Jules Guerin were the people who designed and created the Lincoln Monument so they can honor Lincoln for the things he did. They designed it after the temples of Ancient Greece, in February 12, 1914. It commemorates to the death of Abraham Lincoln for dyeing in what he believed in. It is my favorite because it is a statue of a great president that freed slaves, and that died with honor.

  7. I picked the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. The architect was Henry Bacon, the sculptor of the main statue (Abraham Lincoln) was Daniel Chester French, and the painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin. It was built in 1914 and finished in 1917. This was commemorated to Abraham Lincoln. I don't really have a reason why it's my favorite; I just like it. Well that is my favorite Washington D.C. Monument.

    I picked The Tume of The Unknown Soldiers. I picked that because it seemed interesting. Also the monument is dedicated to American service members who have died without their remains of their identity. On November 11, 1920 thats when the United Kingdom buried one of it's unknown soldiers. That is what I picked and why I picked it.

  16. I picked the Tume Of The Unknowed Soldiers. I picked this becuase of the history. War has always taken our best and brightest when they are too young, with their entire life ahead of them. Families of fallen servicemen need to have closure.So they can move past their grief and loss. With the lethality of modern weapons, identifying the bodies of our warriors was more difficult in the past, and many times the military could not provide families with positive identification. Their pain continued as they wondered about their loved one.

    i picked the Lincoln Memorial...

    The Lincoln Memorial is an American memorial built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The architect was Henry Bacon, the sculptor of the main statue (Abraham Lincoln, 1920) was Daniel Chester French, and the painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin. It is one of several monuments built to honor an American president.

    The building is in the form of a Greek Doric temple and contains a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address and his Second Inaugural Address. The memorial has been the site of many famous speeches, including Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered on August 28, 1963 during the rally at the end of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

    The monument I chose is not my favorite I just chose it because it’s interesting and I don’t really know about it. It’s the Egypt Sphinx. It is believed that Khafra is creator or sculptor of the Sphinx. It was created over 7,000 years ago. The sphinx commemorates an abolitionist named John Brown. On Oct. 22, the Dubois College House commemorated the historic date with a recital marking the opening of an art exhibit Riddle of the Sphinx.
