One must think, what does it take to create a monument? People create monuments to honor past events that affected the way people live or how people act and ect.

Then, the monument was repaired and was stored and was stored away in a warehouse and would later on be eaten by rats. That information would make me want to give the public a much more better monument than “The Maine Lobsterman”. I would make sure I have enough money, time, and tools to make a quality
