2c Golden Gate Bridge

Contains a brief paragraph how it connects to your study of humanities.: I think the Golden gate bridge is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. I think people think about it when they think about California. One of the aspects in culture we look at is art and I think that this bridge is an absolute work of beauty.

Observation: What did you choose? What do you see or hear or feel or think of in the choice you made? What is the subject of the work? If you chose a 'thing' what is the work made of and what techniques (colors, lines, shapes, textures)does the creator use? Be specific in your description. If you chose a place, be specific in your description of what you see or hear. Talk to your reader as though they cannot see the item but somehow must draw a painting of what you see or hear. 1 point : I chose the Golden Gate Bridge. I think there is no symbol that is more recognizable than the bridge. I feel like this shows how people can take some thing as simple as a bridge and turn it into a piece of art. The subject of work is a 2.737 mile long bridge that connects San Francisco to Marin County. Normally fog ridden you will notice two tall red towers holding United States second longest suspend bridge up. 220 feet above the San Francisco bay you can peer straight ahead as you enter the city. You can hear tourists and other cars as they litter the sides of you.

Interpretation: What is your choice about? Give specific examples to support this statement in 2 sentences; do so in a way that teaches us something about your choice. Make Paulo Freire proud! .75 point: I think this choice is about leaving a legacy. Only 11 men died while creating this bridge and thousands more were involved in the building of this bridge, which should withstand ages. This is something that some of our ancestors worked on and that alone should make us think about how incredible our ancestors and our culture really is.

Judgment: What led you to your choice? What do you think or feel about this choice? Why do you feel this way? Support your thoughts with specific observations. .5 point: I sat and thought about what kind of places and things define California on my way back from the Exploratorium. Turns out I was riding right over it when the brilliant idea slipped into my head. I feel like the bridge captures the beauty of the city and feel like ti was a good monument to describe a part of my culture. I think that we are best remembered for what we leave behind and those people, who worked on this bridge should be very proud of what they accomplished.

Questioning: What else would you like to know about this choice? When completing the question section, lead your audience into the question by stating a fact you do know, yet you still have the related question. This way, both your audience and you will have an educational experience: I learned that 11 men died while construction was going on with the bridge, but 10 of them died due to a safety default near the end of completeion fof the bridge. I wonder what happened to the other guy?
