The satue of liberty isn't a bridge. How old are you? Because EVERYONE knows that the Statue of Liberty is a national monument. In other words, it is a very important statue of a lady! It has a lady holding two tablets in her left hand and a torch raised high in her right hand. The torch symbolizes liberty or freedom. And the tablets symbolize the importance of remembering important events. There are three statues of liberty, one in New York, one in Paris, France, and another one in a garden somewhere in America. The statue, in N.Y. was also the symbole of promise and welcome to the people who immigrated from other countries and came through Ellis Island to become a citizen of America. The statue of liberty has this inscription written on the torch, Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" It means something, I just can't figure it out. Watch National Treasure to learn more about her and the man that influenced The Statue of Liberty's importance and her value.
