Another Great Photo(s)

This is a Christopher Columbus Memorial in Washington DC (you'll see it next year!). There are 3 interesting points you should notice. I'll give you some help.

1. How is the artist trying to show Chrissy?
2. What cultures are represented?
3. What false information does the sculpture perpetuate?

Whomever can answer all 3 questions, in 3 complete sentences (or more) by Friday, 11/16, will receive 5 points extra credit. Be sure your work is legible, please!

This does not apply to 8th Period... you'll get an alternative extra credit opportunity on Monday.

And now, the Memorial:



















And a closer look... perhaps it's a hint?
