For example, we could argue that Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers preserves the experience of men fighting in WWII or that Wayne F. Miller’s photography preserves The Great Migration. In fact, Gordon Parks in “Speaking of the Past” writes the following about Wayne F. Miller’s photography: “And as no one can stop the waters flowing, neither can one eliminate his powerful images from our past. They will still be here with us, even if those tenements crumble in time, exhausted” (338). What are the monuments of the forgotten, hidden, and unseen? Writing Task: Write a proposal to create a monument for a person, group of people or event.  You can create a monument for something that already has been monumentalized. If creating a nontraditional monument, you may need to define monument and refer to examples of nontraditional monuments and explain why we can consider them monuments. To help you develop your paper, ask yourself the following: Why does the person or event deserve to be monumentalized? Should it be a national monument or a local, hometown monument?  What medium should the monument be created in? What message do you want to convey through your monument and how will your methods and composition impact the message? If recreating a monument, why doesn't the "old" one work? Why will the new one be better?Goals: To write convincing proposal:  Have a clear focus  Demonstrate analytical skills by directly or indirectly discussing your message, method, medium, composition, context  Develop and organize your ideas successfully through drafting and revision Demonstrate you understand basic essay structure Make sound choices based on your audience: me, your classmates, other 155 teachers who are not privy to our class discussions.
