-“The Statue of Liberty has never made me feel at home, either in New York Harbor or on Las Vegas Boulevard, where it stood squat and compressed as I drove past, a facsimile in

incremental scale.”

While I was reading the article ,“Walk with Me” by David L. Ulin, I came across a word that I never encounter before. The word was facsimile ,and at first I was confused because I didn’t know what it meant ,so I try context clues to see if I could get an understanding of the word.  I was stomped and couldn’t come to an understanding, so I went online to find the definition . Once I found the definition , I understood the definition and was surprised for such a complex word for a simple definition .
