1. Locate      and identify a place or structure that you feel is quintessentially iconic      of New York. In other words, if I      were from another planet, what is the one place/thing that you would show      me that would reveal the essential qualities of New York? You will, of course, need to explain      what you feel are the essential qualities of New York. You may use references from any of the      class discussions we have had, or from any of the events in the City and      Humanities Program as tools to help you develop your papers. Write a 5 page research paper in which      you will uncover the unique qualities of your selection. Your paper will address the following:

-historical information about the item

– purpose of the item

-perceptions of the item (how is it viewed by others)

–Your reasons for the selection (Explain why you consider this item iconic of New York City)
