On April 15, 2019, the Notre Dame Cathedral caught on fire in Paris France. Construction for this cathedral started in 1163 and was completed in 1345. It currently is under renovation because of weather and time. Many historical events have happened here such as King Henry VI being crowned king in 1431 and Napoleon being crowned emperor. The fire alarm sounded at 6:20 AM on Monday morning. The fire was completely put out at 8AM on Tuesday Morning. Much of the church was damaged including the parts that were under construction. The church is still standing and is in good condition. Many people are saying that the fire was caused by an electrical issue. Most of the fire only affected the outside of the church. This means that most of the artwork inside is safe and has been preserved.
1. Should France rebuild the damaged parts of the church and why?
2. What other causes do you think could of been the reason for the fire?
3. Who should pay for the damage done?
I think that because this is such a huge landmark, France should try and get it into the best conditions possible. Some who really opposed of the church and its people might had burned it down to make a point about something. I think that government itself should pay for the damage.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion they should try and rebuild all damage properties and everyone should try in help the community including government
ReplyDeleteI think that they should rebuild some of the dammage parts but it would also take away from the history and a damaged element could add to a significance in what it has been through and show how strong it and the community is because it is so old and still standing.
ReplyDeleteYes they should rebuild the church because it is an historical building for the world and it is the center of Paris. Notre Dame host 12 million visitors a year.

ReplyDeleteI think they should rebuild the church not only because its historical but because the Notre Dame Cathedral holds a lot of sentimental value to people who have gotten married there or baptized
