The hardest thing to do and why

More than a million people immigrate to the United States to start new lives every year, and if they
are arriving in New York, one of the first sights that they will see is the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of
Liberty stands on Liberty Island, near Manhattan in New York. Though she is often thought to be
resident of New York, Liberty Island is actually federal property, which means that the Statue of
Liberty belongs to the whole country. The Statue of Liberty is not only the tallest statue in America, it
is also one of the most recognizable American symbols.
The Statue of Liberty is huge. From the tip of the torch to the pedestal which is the base of the statue
on which she stands, she is just over 151 feet tall. If you include the pedestal in your measurement,
she stands more than 305 feet off of the ground. That’s more than 30 basketball hoops or an entire
football field. Her waist size is 35 feet, which would make it awfully tough to find pants, and the
tablet she holds is 23 feet long. Don’t worry though; she hasn’t had any trouble holding that tablet
yet with her 8 foot index finger.
Though America financed and built the pedestal on which the Statue of Liberty stands, the statue
itself was a gift from France. In this way the complete work, much like the United States, is a product
of both American and French contributions. At one time America was ruled by the British. The
founding fathers of America chose to fight against Great Britain for the independence of their
country. France supported America by providing money, men, and weapons of war. Had it not been
for French contributions during the Revolutionary War, America would not exist in the way that it
does today; therefore, it is quite fitting that the Statue of Liberty, which represents freedom, came to
being by a joint American and French effort. On October 28th, 1886, just over one-hundred years
after America declared its independence from Great Britain, the Statue of Liberty was completed and
dedicated by its designer, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.
Perhaps no person did more to bring the statue into being than Bartholdi. Not only did Bartholdi gain
both French and American approval for the project, he led the French fundraising efforts and
designed the appearance of the statue. The appearance of the Statue of Liberty is somewhat resulting
from Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom. The torch represents how liberty enlightens the world.
The seven points or rays coming from the top of the crown represent the sun, the seven seas, the
seven continents, and (as with the torch) how liberty enlightens the world. Though much of the
statue was modeled after depictions of goddesses, Bartholdi modeled the face after his mother. Now
that’s a Mother’s Day gift that’s hard to top.
Though Bartholdi was responsible for the external appearance of statute, the internal design can be
largely credited to innovative designer, Gustave Eiffel. Though Mr. Eiffel is best known for his
contributions to a tower in Paris that is named after him, he also engineered the internal structure
that holds up the Statue of Liberty. Eiffel chose to use a flexible structure, so that changes in the
temperature and strong winds from the ocean would not cause the statue to crack. Because of Eiffel’s
crafty design, the Statue of Liberty may sway as much as three inches on a windy day. If the winds
exceed 50 miles per hour, the torch may sway five inches. Eiffel is also responsible for including two
spiraling staircases on the interior of the statue to help visitors reach the observation point in the
crown.

1. Why is it significant that the Statue of Liberty is a product of both French and American efforts?
2. Eiffel chose to use a flexible structure. Explain.

7. What is meant by pedestal?

b. It is a federal property.
c. the statue itself was a gift from France.
d. the base on which the Statue of Liberty stands.
8. Which best expresses the main idea of the third paragraph?

b. The statue was a joint effort between France and the U.S. just like U.S. independence.
c. The U.S. was once a colony of Great Britain.

Which sentence from this excerpt of Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address contains the best example of pathos?


One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time,

He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

The city streets were occupied, with messy, riotous traffic noises. Even though this city is named ‘the city of lanterns’, no light is perceptible.
The moon was beginning to fade away and the dark blanket collapsed on the buildings slowly. The commuters were getting out of the trains, and started walking away.

A boy was in the car, glazing out the window he felt vaque. Staring outside looking at the lamp, the water drops were sliding down, curling down the pole to the floor and it was collected into a small pond underneath. The rain showered down on the floor as if it wanted the floor to suffocate.
It was a plain atmosphere, it was dark and drowsy, and the night was starting to become deprived. It almost felt as if the night was yawning from the sound of the wind. The boy yawned as well. Inside the building was a young woman, her room was undecorated, her bed was messy. Her blonde hair was knotted. Her eyes had blankets under. She was stressed, and her aura was emitting stress. She was typing as if it was her last minute.
She stopped.
And sighed.
She rested her cheek on her hand, and receded back from the table, stared at her screen and sighed again. But then, she looked out the window and her was lightened. It was a dark night and they were soft intricate detailed shapes. They were like soft, silky patels sinking down. It was like small white fairies flauting down in the air e

The graduation ceremony in the Jewish Theater on Friday went as expected. My report card wasn't too bad. I got one D, a C- in algebra and all the rest B's, except for two B+'s and two B-'s. My parents are pleased, but they're not like other parents when it comes to grades. They never worry about report cards, good or bad. As long as I'm healthy and happy and don't talk back too much, they're satisfied. If these three things are all right, everything else will take care of itself. I'm just the opposite. I don't want to be a poor student.
