The Statue Of Liberty text to answer question numer 8-10 !
THE
STATUE OF LIBERTY
The Statue of Liberty, officially
named the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, sits on the 12-acre Liberty
Island in New York Harbor. This national monument, along with Ellis Island, has
represented freedom from tyranny, financial hardship and suffering for many
immigrants since the late 1800s. The French gave the Statue of Liberty to the
United States as a gift to mark the centennial of the American Declaration of
Independence.
History
French sculptor Frederic Bartholdi
collaborated with French engineer Gustave Eiffel to create the statue. They
designed the massive structure using thin pounded copper sheets covering a
steel framework. Eiffel, also responsible for Paris’ Eiffel Tower, created the
frame of the statue. Its design and construction were considered an engineering
masterpiece of the 19th century. American architect Richard Morris Hunt designed
its pedestal. Completed in 1884, the French warship “Isere” transported the
statue in 350 parts and packed in 214 crates. It was dedicated on October 28,
1886, according to The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation website.
Physical Description
The Statue of Liberty looks like a
tiny figure when viewed from the Brooklyn Bridge; however, at close range, it
is an impressive figure in the New York Harbor. From pedestal to tip, the
225-ton (450,000-pound) statue is 305 feet, 6 inches, with the face measuring
more than 8 feet tall. There are 154 steps from the pedestal to the head, and
the figure has a 35-foot waistline. The tablet reads JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4,
1776). The Statue of Liberty’s green coloring occurs because of the weather’s
effect on copper. In 1986, the copper torch was replaced by a torch overlaid
with 24-carat gold.
Symbolism
The physical features of the Statue
of Liberty have symbolic meanings. The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island
Foundation website says the broken shackles at Liberty's feet symbolize
breaking away from tyranny and oppression. The seven rays on her crown
represent the seven continents; each weighs about 150 pounds and is about 9
feet long. The National Park Service says the 25 windows in her crown signify
gemstones found on the Earth and heaven’s rays shining over the world. The
torch signifies lighting the path to freedom, reflecting the sun during the day
and illuminated by 16 floodlights at night.
Emma Lazarus, “The New Colossus”
In 1883, Jewish socialite Emma
Lazarus wrote the sonnet “The New Colossus,” comparing the Statue of Liberty to
the Colossus of Rhodes. Lazarus’ words remained virtually unnoticed until after
her death, when philanthropist Georgina Schuyler found the poem in a portfolio
of poetry written to raise funds to aid in the construction of the Statue of
Liberty’s pedestal. Moved by the poem, Schuyler wanted to memorialize Lazarus.
In 1903, a plaque bearing the poem's final five lines, which begin with the
famous words, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to
breathe free,” was placed on the inner wall of the statue’s pedestal. The
American Studies department at the University of Virginia reports that by 1945,
an engraving of the whole poem was placed at the statue’s main entrance.
The Pedestal
The Statue of Liberty is not only a
national monument; it serves as a reservoir of the statue’s history. The
pedestal contains a lobby, exhibits on the first and second floors and a
10th-floor observatory. Located on the first floor, the Torch Exhibit features
the original 1886 torch. The second floor’s exhibits, including Mother of
Exiles, Becoming the Statue of America and The Statue in Popular Culture,
consist of photos, prints, artifacts and oral histories. The second-floor
balcony overlooks the torch exhibit and provides diagrams, photos and historic
details. The Statue of Liberty was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its
cultural and architectural significance.
