Recreation Of The Eiffel Tower In California
1,183 words
Some may ask, Why should the Eiffel Tower be
recreated in California? A good answer for this is
why not? The Eiffel Tower is the one monument that
can easily be identified internationally without
the usage of words, only a picture of itself. Its
beauty attracts around six million visitors each
year; however, many Americans are unable to visit
due to the fact that it is so far away. If it were
recreated in California many more Americans would
be able to visit and have the experience of

over the banking system...

Milvian Bridge Jesus Christ

Some of the most important writings of the

the Apocryphal writings. These apocryphal writings
resembled the New Testament writings, and many of
them fell into the literary categories of gospel,
acts, letters, and apocalypse's. These writings
did not belong neither to the New Testament canon
nor did the writings recognize any of the fathers
of the church. Some of the documents were written
for initiates in groups such as the Gnostics. For

period because his work represents realism, his
work was different from what was expected, and his
work had to do with religion. Although Hopkins is
considered as one of the great poets of the past,
he was not that appreciated during his time

reason people do this even though if they were
