Research and write about the Parthenon, Athens and its historical importance from the perspective of a travel writer

The building of historical importance chosen to write is: The Parthenon, Athens. Emphasis on the structures look, size, and the history behind the Temple of Athena.

Research and write about a building of historical importance from the perspective of a travel writer. Assume that you are writing a destination travel guidebook for “time travelers.” Imagine that your audience can travel back to when the building was constructed or just open to the public (this will become relevant for available routes and spaces surrounding the building). The paper you write will be a blend of fact-oriented and narrative content. It also needs to include a human perspective so that your readers have something to connect with. You are to write a compelling reason why time travelers should travel to your chosen building and describe how the building’s form and shape respond to the cultural context of the area and era.

Header: Last name and page number should appear in the upper right-hand corner of each page.
Title page with the essay title and the image of the building:

Introduction: Set up the destination travel guide to answer the primary questions:
Why should I visit the building?
How should one interpret the structure I have selected in the context of culture?
Your answer to the questions above will help you formulate your thesis statement.

Body Paragraphs: There are many ways to organize your analytical research paper effectively. There is no set model, but there are common patterns that you can use or combine to convey your ideas effectively:
You can devote the first few body paragraphs to answering the “Secondary Questions” above that lead to a summary of answering the “Primary Questions”;
You can start by clearly stating your thesis statement that answers the “Primary Questions” and follow up with paragraphs that answer the secondary questions to finish with more in-depth details about the building using point “i.” from secondary questions: Funneling.

Conclusion: Here, you should provide closure to your essay and signal to your reader that the ride is over. You should summarize and re-emphasize the thesis statement and explain the conclusions reached through your analysis.
