What is the central idea of this excerpt? Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New
York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of
the City of Brooklyn
Fourteen years ago a city of 400,000 people on this side
of the river heard of a projected suspension bridge with
incredulity. The span was so long, the height so grevat,
and the enterprise likely to be so costly, that few thought
of it as something begun in earnest. The irresistible
demands of commerce enforced these hard conditions.
But Science said, "It is possible," and Courage said, "I
shall bel" To-day a city of 600,000 people welcomes with
enthusiasm the wonderful creation of genius. Gracelul,
and yet majestic, it clings to the land like a thing that has
taken root. Beautiful as a vision of fairyland it salutes our
sight. The impression it makes upon the visitor is one of
astonishment, an astonishment that grows with every
visit, No one who has been upon it can ever forget it.
This areat structure cannot be contined to the limits of
This magnificent bridge was built despite the many
doubts of the people of New York
O The Rrooklyn Bridge is an example of the kind of
glory the human race should strive for
Everyone who sees or walks across this bridge will
feel proud and remember its glory.
The Brooklyn Bridge will attract many more visitors
and business partners to New York
