The Liberty Bell An important object that is important in our history is the State House Bell, now known as the Liberty Bell. The Liberty Bell should be included with the other objects because I believe it represents our independence and freedom. Without the bell, we wouldn’t have a symbol besides the flag to represent our American rights. The Liberty Bell is an important object because it has multiple symbols to the people, the inscription has a meaning, and it was used for special occasions. The Liberty Bell is a historical object located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Whitechapel foundry made the bell and had it sent to Pennsylvania where it was originally hung from a tree before it was placed in the Independence Hall. Isaac Norris, …show more content…
The Liberty bell did indeed crack twice. When it was first hung the clapper struck the side so hard that it made a crack in the big bell. The crack happened during the first test ringing; however, there are no records of an exact date it happened. There are many speculations that it had happened around George Washington’s birthday. According to the Liberty Bell, a Philadelphia Public Ledger talked about the crack announcing, “The Independence Bell rang its last clear note on Monday in honor of Washington’s birthday and now hangs in the great city steeple irreparably cracked and dumb. It had been cracked before but was set in order of that day by having the edges of the fracture filled so as not to vibrate against each other...It gave out clear notes and loud, and appeared to be in excellent condition until noon.” The publication was announced on February 26,1848. According to nps, the bell was recast by two local metal workers, John Pass and John Stow. The first recast, the old bell was broken up and melted down to add more copper. The second crack caused even a deeper crack then the first one. Also, the bell metal was so brittle and didn’t appreciate the noise. They restored the correct noise but the crack was not fixed. Since the second crack, the bell has not been rung again since that last crack back in 1846 according to the national constitution
In Colonial Williamsburg there are many significant architectures. Buildings such as the Bruton Parish Church, Governor’s Palace, the Capitol, and the Magazine all had a big contribution in Virginia's history.

Rob Bell argues that no one will spend eternity in hell because eventually God will save all people. From my perspective, I believe Mr. Bell is a “Universalist” which basically means he believes all people will eventually be saved through Christ. It took me a while to wrap my head around the idea of just anyone getting into heaven. I came to agree with Mr. Bell to a certain because its highly plausible that Hell is purgatorial with God sentencing unworthy people to Hell for a reformation. Now I believe God leaves this door open before and after death because that’s the type of almighty being we were taught about.
The ringing of bells is a widely known Christmas sound and it reminds us to give to the poor or those in need. In The Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens uses Scrooge and Bob Cratchit to show how in the Victorian Era there were very few bell ringers and the lower class was looked down upon and ignored by the upper class, especially during christmas time. But, also to show that people can change for the better and become the bell ringers for everyone. First, Charles Dickens writes about how Scrooge (and every snooty upper class person) doesn’t have anyone that likes him.
Although the compass was not an available resource, sundials were. Sundials originated from Egypt in 1500 B.C and since then they have been used throughout the world to keep track of the time (Sundial). For the Vikings purpose, the dial was used to depict the time of day, which could then show the direction one was sailing based on the suns location and movement throughout the sky. As the celestial navigation relied on a particular setting, as did the sundials. Without the sun shinning the dial would be unable to cast a shadow pointing to a particular time, therefore the direction could not be found.

They say the noises and screams came from the exact spot where Ben’s accident had occurred. The mill workers had been very frightened by those noises so they did not go to work for a week and when they returned they made sure that they left work by 4:55 pm so that they didn’t have to endure the scariness of the hauntings at Lidtke
A short story "The Bell-Tower" written by Herman Melville tells about the architect Bannadonna, who is building a tower with a bell for the city. Bannadonna is an ingenious architect who does not count on human sacrifices, extolling his creations over the rest. In this story, the author sought to show the image of a man of art, for which the recognition of his genius is the principal goal. One of the themes that the author raises in "The Bell-Tower" is the relationship between a man of art and his creation.

In these beginning lines of the last stanza in “The Bells,” Poe is setting up a shift from a lighthearted tone to a more darker one. Poe’s use of assonance in this last stanza allows him to create the tone and atmosphere that becomes important to support his allegory of the progression of human existence presented throughout the poem. In the 72th line, Poe uses the words “solemn thought their monody,” three short vowel rhyming words, to allow them to flow quickly when reading. Poe uses this quick flow of short vowels to allow him to create a urgent or critical atmosphere which also supports his use of an exclamation mark to end the line. The readers are now able to have an alert mind, which allows Poe to poetically transition to his next use
