CGSA Peter by Pontus Hiort https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t en-us 2018-09-17 00:17:41 UTC 2018-09-17 16:19:52 UTC hello@padlet.com Sally H https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428174 1. In all of the pictures he seems very determined and seem like he has a lot of authority. The statues show that he is ready to take charge. He seems to have an object with him at all times which shows he is always working. Very empowering to his people. Shows him doing manual labor which shows he cares. Objects show size compared to objects.
2. The last statue is shown in a more casual location unlike the others. He is displayed standing up tall and sticking his chest out. Although, he is shown with a smirk on his face unlike the other serious faces. Looks like an average person being who he is.
3. I think Peter made a good decision by applying tasks with force. He really got the state going at full speed. Without his force, the country would not be where it is today. I think it is okay to be cruel sometimes, because at one point one will need to deal with harsh punishment. It only makes you stronger. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428174 Margaret White https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428241 1.  All the statues in St. Petersburg, Russia show him as a very tall, humble, and mighty ruler. They are trying to get the point across that he was extremely powerful. 
2.  The last image of the statue in the Netherlands still shows him a tall person, but mostly shows that he is a person and not as much that he was a very powerful ruler. He does not look as important.
3.  Although he was a very strict ruler, his people were opposed to change, so I think he had to be forceful in order to get the point across. I don't think Russia would have been able to catch up with the rest of Europe if he had casually made change. It just would not have worked. So, I think he had to be forceful and strict in order to help out Russia in the long run.]]> 2018-09-17 16:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428241 Zoey Astruc https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428385 1. All of the statues portray him as bold and powerful figure, with a stern facial expression that makes him seem serious. This might be showing that he is like a god and he has authority over everyone he rules. 
2. In all the Statues in St. Petersburg except the one in the Netherlands, he is placed on something important (ship, horse, etc.) and in front of some big building or important place. In the one in the Netherlands, he is standing in the middle of the city next to cars and he doesn't look as mighty as he does in the others. 
3. Just because Peter he was a powerful Czar doesn't mean that he had to use violence to accomplish the goals that he wanted. He could've used a different way instead of scaring people into supporting him/doing what he wanted them to do. On the other hand, using force might've been one of the only ways he could get people to follow him. So it depends how much he forced it and if it was really necessary. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428385 Brooke Zide https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428400 1. Peter in all have the pictures has a lot of authority because they all show him like on a horse or in a throne etc. Also, it show that he is a humble and great ruler.
2. The last image of the statue in the Netherlands, it looks like he is less angry and seems a lot nicer. Also, he is standing in this one and in the others he is shown doing something or sitting down.
3. I think he could of used a different approach by introducing the ideas slower and explained them more. Also, let the people put their own ideas into it and let them do what they think would help them. Also, he is showing his power but still I think he could of definitely approached it differently. He shows also that anyone that does something wrong will walk away with a punishment. He also shows a lot of power to show his authority. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428400 Kate Little https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428406 1. In all of the pictures he looks very powerful, important, has lots of authority. He also looks very hard working. They make him look very heroic, especially when he is on the boat with the gold. 
2.  In the statues across Russia Peter is on top, the center of attention, everything is worked around him. In the Netherlands he is not as much of the center of attention, though he still takes a noble stance Peter doesn't come off as powerful in Netherlands compared to Russia. 
3. I think that he did not have to force everyone into doing things even though they would benefit from them in the future. I feel that he could have approached it differently and introduce the ideas in a nicer way. It did help them in the end though. So i think that it was ok to use harsh methods for a better outcome. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428406 Anna P https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428590 1. I think that they might be wanting to show you how he was powerful, important, and it made him look like he was a kind person who wanted to help his people. It also made him look like he was willing to protect him people and help them grow. In the statues in Russia it showed him with items that made him look like he works hard and he is more like the people them like a king
2.In the last image(the one in the Netherlands) did not make him look at powerful and as important as he did in the statues in Russia. I fell like they did not portray him to his full extent.
3. I think that he could have approached the situation differently rather than using harsh and ruthless methods. At the same time though I fell like it is a good way of keeping the people inline showing them that if is do something wrong you will not just get to walk away without any punishment. I do think that it was ok that he used harsh ]]> 2018-09-17 16:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428590 Leighton https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428766 1. These statues all portray him in powerful positions, which show his dominance and success.
2. He is standing by himself at full height in that statue, while in all the other ones he is shown either on something or sitting down. 
3. I think he could have possibly tried to introduce each idea slowly and let his people make their own modifications to what suited them best instead of forcing them to conform to exactly what everyone else was doing. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428766 Sophie L https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428835 1.) I think the statutes characterize him in a way to show that he is very important and noble. I think they try to show that he was a very strong and powerful leader. 
2.) The last picture of the statues seemed to be very similar to the other pictures, but a difference is that he doesn't seem as serious as he does in the statues in Russia.
3.) I don't think Russia would have been able to get its self together without force, because they had been a hot mess before a ruler was stern with them and it was clearly very beneficial. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428835 Guinevere B. https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428915 1.)  All of his statues portray a mighty attitude. He is in a powerful stance in most of his statues and seems to be performing a task or job. 
2.) He is in a powerful pose in the Netherlands statue as he is in most of the European statues. One difference in the Netherlands statue is that he is not performing an action or completing a duty. 
3.) I believe that he should have attempted to complete his reforms without force and through negotiation, but that may not work for all circumstances. Certain tasks are only able to be accomplished by force but that is not necessary for all. There should never be a need to be cruel or unjust unless you are defending yourself not planning to do so. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282428915 Lois https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429073 1. In all the pictures Peter displays a powerful stance and a confident figure. 
2. In all the pictures from St. Petersburg Peter seems to be doing a task such as sailing a ship or riding a horse which portrays him as a man in with power, but in the Netherlands picture he is just standing there. Although he is still standing in a way that shows he is powerful. 
3. I do not believe that Peter should have been pardoned simply for the reason that people benefited as a result. He is the leader therefore he should be displaying an ideal role model who eases his people into his ideas and allows them to adjust. Though there is a difference between being completely forceful and having no order at all. He should have found an in between. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429073 Cameron and Charlotte https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429081 1.  Peter is big, scary, tall, godlike, hardworking, confident, strong, stoic, and powerful.  He is made to look this way so people respect him and know not to mess with him.
2. In the last picture he is less angry, and although he is tall, which may intimidate some, he seems friendlier and less scary.
3. It depends on the amount of force used. If it's just sending someone out to get rid of revolts and enforce laws, then it's not that bad because in the end there is a benefit. If he wants the best for the country then he's fine. But if he's abusing his power, attacking civilians, not listening to the people, and torturing people that disagree with him, that's too much.]]> 2018-09-17 16:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429081 molly https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429228 1. In most of the statues the accentuate his height over other features to make him feel powerful, dominate, and above all.
2. Yes. His height is still predominate and his face is neutral.
3. I think it is acceptable to a certain extent. For instance, when we were younger, we might go to time out if we do something wrong, but our parents won't hit us for it. With punishment comes character and understanding that helped shape Russia as a country.
 ]]> 2018-09-17 16:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429228 sophia https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429237 1. I feel like the statues are displaying Peter as mighty and brave. He looks strong, powerful, and like a person of authority. He seems to placed in a way that makes him seem dominant.
2. I think one of the biggest differences between that last photo and all the other is the fact that he is standing lonesome. In all the other photos, he seems to be posed next to or on some sort of object, whereas the statue that's placed in the Netherlands is him standing by himself. I feel as though this weakens his character and the portrayal of him as a person, as he is not next to an object of dominance.
3. I do believe Peter using force for a bigger benefit is justifiable. I don't think it is fair to abuse or use other people for your own benefit, but Peter was simply enforcing rules that would enforce the strength of Russia as a whole. This reasons were not vain, they were for the greater good. I feel like without this push, Russia would not have progressed at the speed it did. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429237 Charlie https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429282 1. He seems very assertive in his statues. He also looks more like a leader than a king and his people probably really appreciated that. It shows him building a boat, and it is a little unusual for a king to do manual labor. 
2. He seems to be standing tall and proud. He looks like he feels accomplished. 
3. I never like force and I think that it should be a last resort, but if it is for an outcome for the whole country, than I personally think it is okay only to a certain extent. If he could have not used force and still have had a positive outcome, than once again, I think force should have been a last resort.]]> 2018-09-17 16:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429282 Brookie https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429417 1. In all the pictures he is shown with in very powerful poses ex. standing on top of ship leading it and on most the statues he has his hands on hips. He is shown looking tough, powerful strong. 
2. The main difference with the two statues is that all the statues from Russia he is doing something and in most statues there, he is shown with a very stern facial expression. The statue in the Netherlands in my opinion he is soft smiling and does not look as tough and is not doing somehting. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429417 Annie https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429625 1. In all the pictures Peter looks powerful and determined. I think that they show that he was a very  important and powerful person. 
2. The statue in the Netherlands is the only statue that has Peter standing alone without some sort of object. 
3. I do not think that if Peter the great didn't use force he would not be able to be so successful in accomplishing his reforms. I thin that it was acceptable for him to be cruel in order to accomplish these things because it was for the benefit of the people. ]]> 2018-09-17 16:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282429625 Rebecca https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/em21lr44580t/wish/282434026 1. 
these statues present a man larger than life, possibly to represent his large presence or grand disposition. In several he is in motion, seeming to have a place to be and a job to do. In the two pictures of statues where he is still, his confidence still comes through.
2. 
The statues in Russia depict Peter with another object which makes him look larger than life. The result of the statue in the Netherlands as a comparison make him appear more approachable. 
3. 
If peter were an average person from day to day it is unecessary to use force even if the ends do justify the means. While morally his rule is was questionable, as ruler there are tough decisions that need to be made and being overly strict is alright because it enforces your power over your people and gets things done.
