In the book I read abt NYC I got really interested in the story of the making of the Statue of Liberty, for exemple, did u know that the first people to admire the Statue of Liberty were Parisians, not New Yorkers.In fact,the colossal head of Liberty was exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1878. Also, to rise interest in the enormous statue, Bartholdi(the sculptor who made it) had the hand and torch of the Statue taken to New York City, on display in Madison Square Park for several years while the statue was still being constructed in Bartholdi's workshop in Paris.
I loved reading the story behind it, it made it more real and close to me, than being just a symbol taken for granted.
