[All I know, that cemetery was built a long time ago, in 18th century, and it was built by the order of the Spanish friars that had brought Christianity here in Janiuay to construct a cemetery there. And if viewed, from that time up to now, you can say that that cemetery is still there but is gradually getting deteriorated. Because its structure, you can see that the post near the end of it is not connected to (the walls of the cemetery) anymore. It is scary since every day, I pass by there and look at it – to find some problems because it seems like it is not given any importance by the local government of Janiuay. So, there is none. Even the tourism does not seem to give support because they can still see it functional. Time will come that they will see the cemetery slowly falling into ruin and that’s when they’ll take an action- maybe. Because they can see that it is still okay now, but according to what I see when I pass by it every morning and every …show more content…
So, what they can do is to restore it because it needs attention from the local government with the help of the tourism. So that in later days for the upcoming generations, they will see and that they will be proud of that because you will not see anything like that cemetery in other towns. It is creative, even the metalwork from before looks good. It was already artistic during that time that cannot be achieved in today’s time. You will say, ‘Ay, they were that artistic in the past?’ That the people, the Janiuaynons, assembled the limestone from Dingle. The cemetery was constructed earlier than the Janiuay Church. They estimated the distance of the cemetery to be one kilometre away from the church. So, that was the basis that today, our church is at that location. Maybe after they established it, the construction of the church has already started. And it is unique because of its three staircases and three
In the article Half-Measures Won’t Erase the Painful Past of Our Monuments, by Holland Cotter, cotter describes the connotations of historical monuments from the past and how it impacts the present by using rhetorical choices such as ethos, pathos, and a neutral tone, to relate to those who have been impacted by the history and to spread more awareness about their history. The government’s actions on whether the monuments convey a positive or negative messages, is not satisfying, which is related to the title “Half-Measures Won’t Erase the Painful Past of our Monuments”. Through the use of pathos, Cotter relates to readers who have been impacted by the people who are being celebrated by monuments, by referring to the messages monuments
It is used as a real church that people can go to. Anybody can go to it and see the place where the royal governor sat, where the pastor stood to preach, where the organist sat, and how wealthy the people were according to how close to the front they sit. The graveyard in the churchyard also shows wealth of the people. It was an honor to be buried inside the church, as well as outside. When people died, they were normally buried in their homes, but if they were important to the church, they would be buried there.

A Wall of Remembrance describes events that contributed to the African Burial Ground 's creation. The reinterment locations are marked with four Ancestral Pillars.the African Burial Ground is possibly the only preserved, urban, eighteenth-century African cemetery in America.
One last memorial that I saw in the “Cremation Garden”, that stood out to me was a man named “Emil Kranzler” who’s plaque said “I’m Off to See the Wizard”. I researched Emil Kranzler and found that he played the role of a munchkin in the original Wizard of Oz movie (Find a Grave). Just by observing the grave markers and memorials located within this cemetery, I learned so much about so many of the people who are buried there. While I learned a lot about the people buried there, I also learned a bit about the living people who visit the cemetery. Almost all of the graves appeared as though they had been visited fairly recently, with some

Jason Kosareff agrees as he argues in Source D (Kosareff), “Developers have an eye for the cemetery site and the community of Asian businesses and residents nearby would like to see it gone because they think it brings bad luck. : Historical landmarks, such as graveyards, should not be removed as they are a part of a larger history. Monuments like graveyards, should not be disturbed because of their historical significance, but also out of respect for the
Hospice care is a subject that should be talked about more. Some people could be on hospice for a day, week, month or year(s). Death is very scary to think about. People who are healthy do not think of death or the dying process. When someone is dying they must be in the worst pin they have ever felt.
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. The conflict surrounds whether the monuments should be destroyed, stored (in a museum etc), or left to remain. Personally, I believe that monuments, if historical, should not be damaged in anyway, but left to remain, or in specific occasions, preserved in a museum. A monument being destroyed is going too far in some instances. Historical monuments should be preserved and studied.

In all these instances of loss, pain and grief are experienced and an emotional wound is created which needs healing.
In Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 1981 novella Chronicle of a Death Foretold, the narrative recounts the events leading up to the eventual murder of bachelor Santiago Nasar, a man accused of taking the virginity of the defrocked bride Angela Vicario despite the lack of evidence to prove the claim, and the reactions of the citizens who knew of the arrangement to sacrifice Nasar for the sake of honor. This highly intricate novella incorporates a range of literary techniques, all of which are for the readers to determine who is really to blame for Santiago Nasar’s death. Marquez uses techniques such as foreshadowing and the structure of narrative, along with themes such as violence, religion, and guilt to address the question of blame. Although Santiago
