review 1: The piece of writing Emma's Poem: The Voice of the Statue of Liberty is an inspirational piece of children's literature as it shows children that the right thing to do in life is not always the easiest or most popular. Even today people look down on poor people and the text exemplifies that we should stand hand in hand with the less fortunate to help them up not stand against them and push them down. Many children take the life they live for granted so this book shows them how hard it was for people to live comfortably as everyday posed a new challenge. Even though the idea is quite complex, the teacher can explain to the children to be grateful for the luxuries they are granted and when they see someone in need to extend a hand.
review 2: Recommended by Kate H... more. Wow!! I'm sad to say I never knew or already forgot that the Statue of Liberty originally had nothing to do with immigrants. Writer Emma Lazarus was asked to contribute to a compilation of writings to raise money for the statue's pedestal. Knowing where the statue would be placed, and of the immigrants' long journey, poverty, and often cold welcome in the U.S., she composed "The New Colossus," which concludes with the famous "give me your tired, your poor" lines, and helped the statue become the beacon of welcome that it is today. less
