Pantheon vs. Arlington National Cemetary

Class today got me to thinking about a possible comparison between the Pantheon and a monument in America. The one that made the most sense after today's discussion was Arlington National Cemetery. I feel that both spaces are a holistic representation of a culture's history as well as a place for individual recognition of people deemed worthy. The discussion of Raphael made me think of Jackie Kennedy. Not just anyone can be buried in the Pantheon and there are qualifications that need to be met in order to end up at Arlington. Both Raphael and Jackie Kennedy made it their dying wish to be buried in these historical places and both made history by being granted that wish.
