I think the statues convey Peter the Great's power and how hard working he his.  They also glorify him a little bit maybe so that people will put all their trust in him.
2. The statues in Russia all show Peter doing something or speaking or listening, while the statue in the Netherlands show him standing in a proud stance.
3. I think they could have accomplished his reforms without force, but they wouldn't be the way Peter pictured them, they would probably be a little different/less strict. But I believe that Peter could have accomplished his reforms with kindness. People respond much better to kindness then meaness.]]> 2018-09-17 15:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382400 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382410 1. These statues are showing how large and in charge Peter was. It is trying to intimidate the person looking at it. It is also conveying his dominance over you because when compared to him, you feel small and helpless which is what he wanted his subjects to think.
2. In the pictures of him in Russia, he isn't just standing there. He is sitting, on a boat, working, but not just standing. In the picture of Peter in the Netherlands, he is standing up straight with his hands on his hips. Since he is so tall, the statue is more life like. Therefore,  maybe Peter wanted to seem more humble and not as scary and big as he does in all of his other statues.
3. I think sometime you have to bite the bullet and show a little force, because if you never become strict, nobody will respect you. However, I do not think that a large amount of killing and physical hurt is needed because at the same time of wanting order and respect, you also want your people to like, trust, and not live in fear. Which in the end, will bring the country closer and stronger.]]> 2018-09-17 15:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382410 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382467 1. I think these statues are trying to show how powerful and mighty Peter was. They made the statues look big and broad, depicting his dominance. These statues also show him doing work to represent how he changed Russia for the better. 
2. The statues all depict Peter as being powerful and mighty. A major difference of the statue from the Netherlands is how In the Russian statues, Peter is doing something like labor, riding a horse, or sailing. In the Netherlands statue he is just standing there powerfully. 
3. I think Russia needed some tough love. Peter was strict and cruel, but he only did it for the better of his country. He did it to make them better in the long run. If he hadn't of used the tactics that he used, probably nobody would have listened to him, and Russia could have become extinct.

I believe that these statues present the actions that Peter the great reformed Russia. They show him standing and sitting with great posture which demonstrates that he is bigger and better than you. He looks mighty and bulk, which shows his herculean personality. 
2. His posture is similar, but all he is doing is standing in the one in the Netherlands. I believe the statues in Russia show him in a better light, and like he made a difference with the actions he took. 
3. I think forcing his commands on the people is unnecessary, but it provided motivation. I think the country needed laws and restrictions without cruel behavior to keep the country in control. The laws that Peter laid down created a better society for Russia, so maybe having a compromise between nice and tough would have been a little better. ]]> 2018-09-17 15:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382475 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382631 1.) The statues are trying to covey how powerful Peter the Great was.  It all of the statues you could see his confidence and strength he has given to his country. 
2.) I think some of the similarities in the statues are how he seems powerful like said above in the first question. Some differences would be that in some there's another object like a boat and his horse. The other one's show how he is just standing. The statues with other objects besides him looked more important ad gave more value.
3. I think he could have accomplished the reforms. I think being cruel didn't do anything good and it let to people revolting against him. I think what he did was unnecessary, but I also saw how he wanted people to listen and respect him. ]]> 2018-09-17 15:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382631 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382701 1.) I think that the statues seem to represent a very powerful side of Peter the Great. In each of the pictures, they show Peter as a larger figure. For example, with the second picture Peter is much larger than the boat he's standing on. This almost represents that he's leading the way and the boat is just there to hold him; he's the leader in shining armor to help reform and grow Russia.
2.) The statue in The Netherlands seems to just represent his tall figure, standing like a figure of power. But it seems to me that in the other pictures he's either really showing his power by sitting on a throne, or leading the way to something greater. Riding a horse or sailing a boat seem like they give more purpose to him than just standing with a foreseen power.
3.) I think that by using cruel gestures and intentions to reform Russia it did pay off in the end even if it was not pleasant for anyone except him at the time. But I believe there could have been other things to be done to complete such goals. Enslaving commoners may have given a good outcome or being cruel could've taught some people a lesson. But I think Peter could've improved everyone's lives by providing more freedom to express oneself or just enjoy the growth of the country.]]> 2018-09-17 15:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382701 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382745 1. I think these statues are trying to tell us that Peter the Great was a very important King. It is also showing how powerful and courages he is.
2. In my opinion, the statues of Peter from St. Petersburg are very big and powerful. The statue from the Netherlands seems not as big, powerful, and serious.
3.  I think he could have accomplished things without force because he didn't have to be cruel in order to do good things to people. ]]> 2018-09-17 15:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382745 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382933 1. I think that these statues are trying to convey the message that Peter the Great was always searching for new ideas and solutions, and how much power he had, because in all of his statues, he seems determined or as if he's looking for something. 
2. In the first pictures, he is somewhere doing something- whether it be on a boat or sitting in a chair. In the last picture, he is standing up, chest out, looking confident and proud, which is different from the other pictures that convey more of his thoughts and work. 
3. I think that using force may not have been the best approach for most times, but coming from a low time in Russia with no good rules or commands left him with no choice but to take over completely and make every do what is necessary to get back on track. With that being said, I still am not positive it was the best approach, but without his determination and ability to persuade everyone, the fall period of Russia would have been much longer and it would have been harder to get Russia back on track. ]]> 2018-09-17 15:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282382933 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383167 1. In all of these pictures he is in positions of power. Like in picture 2, he is standing on top of a ship that has buildings on it, and he is bigger than all of them. That shows that he is powerful and more important than everyone else.
2. In all of the Russian ones he looks so serious, and in the Netherlands one he is just smiling. Also in all the Russian ones he is in positions of power, but the one in Netherlands, he is just standing like a normal person. I think in the Netherlands they could make a normal statue of him, since he wasn't their king, but in St.Petersburg they had to make them very fancy.
3. I think for the end product of Russia being a better place, the cruel behavior in the process is okay. He probably could not have changed as much as he did if he just sat there and was nice. Also, if he didn't do anything, Russia would still have been in the place it was before. (revolts, unjust)]]> 2018-09-17 15:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383167 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383356 1. How would you characterize the statues of Peter? Try to describe what message they might seem to convey.- the statues seem to convey power, strength and bravery in most of the statues he looks brave/proud. 
2. The last image is of a statue in the Netherlands, while all others are from St. Petersburg in Russia. Are there any similarities or differences between the Russian ones and the one in the Netherlands?-the one in the Netherlands he is not holding up a scroll, he looks more powerful then some of the other statues and it is in a more popular spot in the Netherlands than in St. Petersburg
3. I think he could have accomplished some things without, force, I don't think it is acceptable to act cruel when you can find other ways to deal with a

I think that the statues are trying to tell people that Peter conquered many things in history. I feel like this is trying to tell me that he was finding a new way or path to search. Also in all the statues he is looking up so he of course had a lot of power.
2.The statues that are in Russia all seem to have Peter on a boat or on some type of "throne" that shows he has power.
3. I think that being strict and somewhat mean is acceptable because sometimes to get a good result you have to fight for what you want and show/tell people this will give you results in the end. I also feel like if he wasn't harsh people wouldnt have taken him more serious. ]]> 2018-09-17 15:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383588 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383604 1. All the statues except the 7th picture shows what he did to reform Russia and how he was very powerful.
2. The statue of Peter in the Netherlands he doesn't look serious he's just standing there.
3. I think some of the accomplishments should've been without force because some of them weren't really fair.]]> 2018-09-17 15:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383604 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383605 1. I think the statues are showing Peter the Great's power and that he has a clear plan. They all show him on a horse, ship, or chair, putting him above the viewers of the monument, which also shows his power. It also looks like he has a plan or a mission in mind, guiding the horse and ship to a destination.
2. In the Netherlands, the statue is looks friendlier, smiling and standing at the same level as the person looking at it. I think they are not trying to portray Peter the Great in as much of an intimidating way as in Russia.
3. Looking back on Peter the Great's reforms now, I want to say that the ends do justify the means. However, at the time that he was using force to accomplish his goals, it was uncertain whether or not his goals would even be met. I believe it depends on the result, so looking back on it, his cruel tactics are justified because there were many more benefits than downsides. ]]> 2018-09-17 15:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383605 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383638 1. All the statues make Peter appear heroic and powerful. He is seen leading the way on horses and boats, the monuments show him as highly respected and almost worshiped.
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 profound seeming to be less, though he still takes a noble stance Peter doesn't come off as powerful in Netherlands compared to Russia.
3. I belive that peter may not have been the most caring and loving man, he may have been rough around the edges. Still had the end of the day he improved not only the country but citizens lives, he did not cause suffering yet uplifted his peoples.]]> 2018-09-17 15:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282383638 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282385148 1. I believe these statues are trying to depict Peter the Great with power and riches, but also with a hard working, interested character as well. In some statues he is holding gold (riches), on a boat (searching for new ideas), big (powerful),
2. In the statue in the Netherlands Peter the Great looks strong and confident ike the ones in Russia, but I did notice the placement of the statue is not a prominent as to the ones in Russia. 
3.I think sometimes in the world and in daily life force is needed to get stuff done. I'm not fully aware of the context Peter the Great used force in but I do think some force is okay. Say I was doing a group project and someone hadnt done their work after we asked them to, we would need to get kind of force them to do their part in order for all of us to benefit. Its kind of an all for one one for a theres no i in team type of thing. However if it involves physical hurting or too much conflict its not okay. ]]> 2018-09-17 15:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282385148 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282385477 1. I think that the statues are trying to show how powerful and magnificent Peter the great was. 
2. In the statue from the netherlands he does not look so amazing he looks like an every day person from the 1700s .
3. I think that Peter mad great improvements to the Russian government but that he could have found a way to enforce them in a nonviolent way. Everyone, even the king is a citizen of their country and should therefor abide by the law. ]]> 2018-09-17 15:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282385477 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/om3qzv8bx2e7/wish/282387321 1. In many of the statues they portrayed him as a mighty, skinny, tall man. They first approach that was experienced by me was when I noticed in many of them he had a serious face. He also has a map in his hand and almost every photo. It seems to symbolize that he brought ideas back from Europe. He is also riding on a horse and ships meaning that he has had many trips and explorations.  
2. The difference seems to be that he is standing alone rather than on a boat or on a horse. He also looks like he is smiling instead of looking upset and serious. He also looks to be taller than most of the other statues.
