Locatio Location: A Deep Sacrifice

Improved Essays
Monuments are statues or areas that honor a deep sacrifice or a very important person in a country. A monument helps connect the present to the past by linking the two together; “I wanted to create a unity between the nation’s past and present.” (Lin) The creation of a monument should be considered only when a deep sacrifice has been made and the location, along with the price, is reasonable.

A monument should be constructed when a deep sacrifice to the country has been made; “all the names of those missing and killed (57,000) must be part of the memorial;...” (Lin) This evidence shows that those 57,000 people that either went missing or were killed made an enormous sacrifice for the United States. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten due to their braveness for stepping up and answering the call to go to war to make a sacrifice in order to protect the citizens of the U.S.A.

Money is another important key factor in the creation of a memorial so they have enough money to create the monument and to keep it standing; “The association has enough money to keep it running for at least two years…” (Kosareff) Money is required to be able to have the memorial created.

    Monuments shouldn’t be established or no longer established because of a sculpture capturing only a specific time and place of how it happened and also can take too much space; it also causes controversy between citizens in public places; such as malls, parks etc. Individual communities perceive that it could be an agreeable way to preserve history from different types of bourgeois who made a change in antiquity and the world. But constructing large monuments will not get you anywhere. You might think it could recall some of the history of people, but it can only take you so far. Your mind won’t go far away when the person was born or each of their birthdays.…

    The whole point of a memorial is to remember something that happened there that affiliated with whatever the monument is representing. The location really does matter. If the location is bad then people are taking away from the moment itself. An example of bad location taking away from the monument is a museum in Washington D. C. "It is not surprising that immediate and intense controversy spotted when plans were publicized to build a Holocaust museum on The Mall in Washington D.C.…

    As said in source A: “The public monument speaks to a deep need for attachment that can be met only in a real place, where the imagined community actually materializes and the existence of the nation is confirmed in a simple but powerful way.” The site of the monument needs to be well thought out and planned so that people will be attracted to it.

    On the other hand, the Savannah Memorial Park is the site of a grave, occupied by "pioneers from the Santa Fe Trail [who] would bring their dead along with them...and bury them [there]" (Source D). This site illustrates a memorial that was created as the event it showcases was happening. This makes the monument inherently more accurate, as it is not just a posthumous reproduction, but an encapsulation of actual events. Furthermore, as shown in Source E, a monument's location factors into the message its creation sends. In 2008, the United States set out to build a large but controversial Holocaust museum in Washington D.C.…

    The monument I would create is in Boston, Massachusetts, which is a historically rich city, but I would create a monument to one specific event named the Boston Massacre.

This partly led up to the Revolutionary War where America fought Britain. This monument would be made of dolomitic marble. It would contain a 20 x 20 replication of Paul Revere’s engraving of the Boston Massacre, and under it an inscription explaining the Boston Massacre.…
