This class taught me how difficult it is to please citizens
in America today. A great amount of
time, effort and money goes into planning these memorials, which serve to honor
and commemorate American citizens and heroes, but there is almost always
disappointment surrounding the construction and design of memorials. Even the Vietnam Memorial, which gracefully
honors each individual lost solider, some members of society were outraged and
appalled with the design. I think that it
is interesting that this type of controversy occurs surrounding a structure
that is meant to serve as a peaceful location for thought and reflection. I also had never really put much thought into
the items that are left at various memorial sites. I thought that it was really cool to analyze
the items left here and really appreciate the emotions surrounding the action of leaving offerings.
