  2. 1. My reaction was that it looks interesting. My question was how did they get the idea to make the feathers into a bowl shape?
    2. My definition is for a memorial: Something made in order to remember something important.
    3. A memorial I know about is the Lincoln Memorial which is a statue of Abraham Lincoln in a huge chair. It is meant to memorize everything they did for our country.
