During the New York trip we not only visit Manhattan but also traveled to the political center of America --Washington D.C..While in this historical city, a city which is where the English immigrant first came, we saw various splendid buildings and memorials as well as found many interesting stories about this fabulouscountry. And these memorial including Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial and The Reflecting Pool. All these memorial are often see in the movies and in the history of America as well. Every of these memorial has its own story and background for us to find out. The Lincoln Memorial is an American national monument built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln and 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 Korean War Veterans Memorial, which is just few block away from the The Lincoln Memorial is an memorial commemorates those who served in the Korean War. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is the largest of the many reflecting pools in Washington, D.C., U.S. It is a long and large rectangular pool located on the National Mall. All these beautiful construction really caught my both eye and my heart. The vivid story behind had also teach me some lessons of these world. It is a place that no one can missed when visiting Washington D.C.
Once I saw Lincoln Memorial is on my social text book and I told myself one day I will stand behind Lincoln and make a salute to him about his contribution for human's right!! For another, I also want to feel the march hold my Martin Luther King, it must be a special experience.
ReplyDeleteThe scenery there also touch my eye. One of my dream is to spend a afternoon watching ducks swimming on the lake happily. It just like some well known draw painting about nobility's life.
After reading your post, I can't wait to plan a trip to New York!!
Make sure you visit that place once in your life time. It is not only a beautiful place as you say, but also a meaningful historical place to take a look. And it is always interesting to really see a place or memorial came from the text book into real image in front of your eyes.
