Task 3: Derivatives in the Text

My little niece Danielle, aged 6, has long had a fascination with the “Big Pencil”, the famous Washington Monument. She saw glimpses of it during drives through the District. Her first visit to the top of the monument inspired a closer acquaintance with dead presidents made of metal and stone. It was on the way to the Lincoln Memorial that she made the exact remark. “Is the president really in there?” my niece wanted to know. “No, it’s a big sculpture of him.” “Is he truly dead, though?” she asked. “Yes.” She got silent for a moment, trying to reason this through. “So, you mean, after they get rid of presidents, they use them for decorating?” It was my turn to think. “Exactly.”
