After looking up the words from this message I couldn’t find anything but, what makes this memorial interesting is the joyful message that it’s leaving for the people inside the park. It reminded me of the time that I used to live near Dyckman and I went to Fort Tryon Park and saw messages on the benches. The memorial is a rectangular metal plaque drilled into a bench with the purpose of conveying a message of people’s hope for the park to bring others joy just as it has for them. Additionally, you can relate the message to ethos because of the emotion of joyfulness that is being conveyed. After observing the area for some time I didn’t really see anyone trying to read the message on the bench however, I wasn’t surprised because it was my second time going to Madison Square Park and I realized my first time I never noticed any of the memorials on the benches. I don’t know if I can say whether this memorial to the creator’s joyful memories in the park was successful because although it didn’t capture the sights many, the creators might have had a certain objective in mind such as just wanting one person to be able to see their message or just being able to share it with family and friends. However, if their objective was for many people to see it, then from my perspective it wasn’t that successful. For my final thoughts I just want to know when was this piece created, and what was its objective, that way I can figure out once and for all whether this piece was successful.
