Symbol of Amercia

  Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World, French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue has become an iconic symbol of freedom and of the United States.

When i was young, I saw  many pictures of the statue liberty in a magazine. I was taught that America is a country of freedom. So, whenever I think America, I pictured  the best paradise in the world.

Even in the New York, we can find many pictures of statute  of liberty in the travel guide books
When i work in Manhattan  many tourists asked me where the statue of  liberty is. It's been 10 years since I moved U.S.A.but many tourist from every country still count the statue of liberty  as a best place to visit. I'd like to say the statue of liberty is symbol of  America.
