BR 1-08: “The Statue of Liberty”


I chose the book “The Statue of Liberty”. This story is about when the Statue of Liberty was made.

The Statue of Liberty stands in New York Harbor. It was a present from the France to the United States. A Frenchman called Frederic Bartholdi made it. He modeled on that of his mother’s face. He made the model again and again. He and his helpers took the statue apart, and a ship carried it from France to New York. In American people were building, but they ran out of money, so the work stopped. A man called Joseph Pulitzer had an idea. It was that I will print the name of everyone who gives money to help. Then soon there was enough money, and the Statue of Liberty was made.

On October 28, 1886, the people of New York had a parade. They cheered. Today, more than one hundred years later, the Statue of Liberty still welcomes people to America.
I read this book and I knew about the history of the Statue of Liberty for the first time.
