Essay On Eiffel Tower

750 Words3 Pages

The Eiffel tower, one of the biggest tourist attractions not only in Paris but all over the world, is about 20 minutes away from my house. For that reason, I frequently visit the place either intentionally or accidentally. There is a vast park area called ... "Champs de mars" surround the Eiffel tower where people can take a walk, go on picnic or do jogging. I used to stop over there with friends to have a petite picnic in the middle of the city. Every single time I pass by around the Eiffel tower, it is crammed with people from every portion of the world. It is hard to believe that, once upon a past, each and every people in Paris hated the Eiffel tower so much. The tower was seen as too tall, too modern, and too eccentric than the others(epistrophe). …show more content…

Taking pictures, in 21century with those new technology stuffs called 'Social Networking Sites ', is more than just for one 's records or an memory; rather, it is more to make a display or to show off(metanoia). It is totally an human thing to parade themselves and be proud of it. They feel the ascendency over the other people by doing the exposure of their source of pride. I love the park Champ de mars, but I don 't find Eiffel tower as a beautiful sight. Eiffel tower itself looks like a tower whose work has not yet finished excluding the skeleton part. Since it was originally made for temporary building-- by temporary I mean 20 years-- its interior portion is lack of convenience and is lack of the safety. Actually, it is even harder to find the aesthetic point of the Eiffel tower in these days. Now more than the half portion of the park has all fenced against the people since people were throwing the trashes all over it. About one third of populations are selling wines, roses, miniature eiffel towers, and even portraits for the visitors. Without regard to these mess going down here, tourists from all over the world still come to take picture of this particular

    Introduction Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica is one of the most famous antique architecture works in Vietnam that were built during the time of French colonisation, that is nowadays a religious venue as well as a tourist attraction. It is special not only because of its long-lasting Romanesque-Gothic beauty that pops up in the middle of a busy boulevard in Ho Chi Minh City, but also because it has been standing for 135 years, witnessing the ups and downs in the history of Vietnam; how French colonialists left, how Chinese annexationists came, and how Vietnamese people themselves fight against each other.

  • Analysis Of A Small Place By Jamaica Kincaid

    Many people who take trips to other countries use it to escape the boredom of their own life and to have fun in another country. Taking vacations can provide excitement when heading to different locales, give a person the tastes and sights of a new place, and overall provide a sense of pleasure to a tourist. However, there is an aspect of this that many tourists do not get to see. In her essay A Small Place, author Jamaica Kincaid makes this aspect very clear. Kincaid, along with many other natives of foreign islands, believes that tourists are “ugly human being[s]” who seemingly feed off the boredom and desperation of the natives of a certain place, creating a source of pleasure for themselves (Kincaid 262).

  • Debussy Beethoven Cathedral Essay

    1193 Words  | 5 Pages

    Debussy broke the mold so to speak in the 20th century of music by breaking away from the typical German style laid out by composers such as Beethoven as he often explored dreamy and distant sound worlds in an effort to stand out amongst his earlier peers of the classical period. He began to be drawn to the sounds of the pentatonic scales, whole tone scale, and sounds otherwise known in Asia as his music in comparison often contained a rather circular motion which broke away from the formers heroic cadential style of resolution. This breaks his music away as his was more of an ambient and distant much like the impressionist art movement happening at the same time being led by the likes of Monet and Van Gough. The Sunken Cathedral by Debussy exhibits many traits of the new impressionistic forum of 20th century composers as he exhibits many methods to place the listener into a dream-like state using melodic variation and connectivity amongst voice leading in order to achieve a watery type effect. This effect makes the listener feel as if they are floating along with the piece itself as he adds complexities to the music with the slow harmonic variation throughout the piece.
