""Liberty" means freedom." P.6
Everyone maybe knows Statue of Liberty. But, most people doesn't know how to make it and who make it maybe. Statue of Liberty made by Frederic Bartholdi. He is Frenchman. The Statue of Liberty was a present from the people of france to the people of the United States. "Liberty" means freedom. All over the world, people dreamed of coming to America to find freedom. The Statue of Liberty model is Frederic's mother. He copied his mother's face for his statue. First, he made a small statue. Then a bigger one. Then an even bigger one. The last statue was so big it couldn't fit in his workshop! So, he had to make it in pieces. Frederic needed lots of help. And they took the pieces outside and put them together. A ship carried what packed the statue apart from France to New York. In America the people were building high pedestal for But they ran out of money! The work stopped.
Joseph Pulizer owned a newspaper. He had an idea. Joseph said, “The statue needs a home! I will print the name of everyone who gives money to help.” Thousands of people sent nickels and dimes. Children sent pennies. So The Statue of Liberty turned off. The people of New York had parade to welcome her. The excitement never ended.
I knew The Statue of Liberty but I didn’t know how to made it and who made it. I want to go to see that. It must be a big and awesome one!
