Your City Has Decided To Build A Monument To Honor A Famous Person In Your Country. (TOEFL essay) There are a lot of great people in the history of our country and particularly Moscow who deserves a monument. However, in my opinion, the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy deserves this appreciation much more than others. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will describe in the following essay. To begin with, Leo Tolstoy was very talented person. Needless to say, that he is well known not only in our country, but around the world. He is considered classic writer, which means that his writing passed through the time and people read his novels today with the same interest such as hundred years ago. The characters in his books are so realistic that people recognize them selves it these characters. Several generation of young people were grown with these characters. For example, I remember that I wanted to be like Pier Bezuhov when was 15 years old. I know the awesome story when parents gave the name of Natasha for their daughter, which was dedicated by Natasha Rostova, . Secondly, Leo Tolstoy was not only the great writer, but also a very prominent public figure. Without a doubt, I can compare him with Gandy in India. He wrote not only novels, but also very valuable works about society. He was very religious person, regardless he did not believe in official church. He encourage people to believe in life. He said that life is much more than each particular religion and I totally agree with him. Actually, he was a buddhist in my opinion. Moreover, I can say that even Russian Tsar listen to him and follow him in some cases. In conclusion, I would like to say that Leo Tolstoy deserves the installation of the monument in Moscow. This is because he was the great writer and the big public figure.
