It was increasingly nail-biting for the Patriots fans, especially knowing their previous winning streaks in the past, they had certainly not been so sluggish in a while after turning the ball twice and failing to stop the Falcons run game. At this point, the Patriots averaged with only 2.5 yards per carry, and the daring Falcons reached 9.6 yards. Ryan continued to lead the Falcons in the third quarter, and they trotted 85 yards down the field, and the quarterback yet again made an amazing pass to Tevin Coleman resulting in a touchdown and turning the score to 3-28 to the Patriots.

The monuments display grandeur through their great beauty and intricate details, which is what intrigues passersby from stopping and admiring these aspects. Even though they are different in scale, both of the monuments display a sense of monumentality that plays a part in catching the attention of viewers.

It completed an incredible comeback for the Patriots, who had looked dead and buried after the Falcons scored three first-half touchdowns and an early score in the third quarter to power 25 points ahead.

The article, “Poetry in motion; Why I’ll be watching the Super Bowl” By Ava Noe, was the less effective argument because of it's unbalanced usage of ethos, pathos, and logos.

Some argue that the monuments should not be damaged or tampered with anyway since, even though the person might not have been the best, it is a historical artifact which therefore, should be preserved.

A monument being destroyed is going too far in some instances. Historical monuments should be preserved and studied.
