Oakland Poem/Photography

We had to take a picture of the letter of our words in different gravestones. I picked the word heaven because I chose the Victorian Lady that was an angel.

Heaven

God is Heaven

 Angels

Wings

Jesus

Full of clouds

Very bright

Beautiful

Soul will live forever

Live a good life

Christian

God will take care of you

Pearl gates guard the entrance

People have died

Located far off in the galaxy

When you die this will be your new home

Heaven

Oakland Cemetery

Oakland Cemetery

At Oakland Cemetery, I saw a lot of graves, and the Cemetery was huge. The Cemetery was also beautiful with the flower and trees. Then we went to the Old Jewish Section to learn about the people there. We also visited the Jewish Section, The African American Section, The Confederate Section, and Slave Square. It was a great experience to see.

First we saw an old man that was on the top of his mausoleum stone. His name was Jasper Newton Smith, so one of the things we know about him is that he hated neckties. Jasper Newton also wanted his statue to face the entrance so the people could greet him. He also made his money by opening a brickyard after the Civil War. Then we saw Dr. James’s grave. He was the first person in Atlanta to be buried in Oakland Cemetery. He always had a fear of him being buried alive.
