Intro

Reiterating some comments about the intro - you are on the right track. Beginning general and moving specific is fine. Not quite SO general, however. And, you can fill out the intro a bit. Perhaps you want to begin with the subject of ethnic monuments, and move from there to Concordia. You can note the presence of several monuments in a complex there, all of them culture-themed. And go from that to your thesis on Aasen.

A monument to a liniguist - that sounds sort of dry, doesn't it? It is your task to convey the importance of his life and work, the basis for making a monument to him. The elevation of a vernacular language to the status of a national tongue is a matter of pride and importance. For use in your conclusion, you might want to find some material on that very subject. There must be a scholarly literature on the importance of language ini building national identity. That would give you the opportunity in the conclusion to say that this guy is forgotten, yes, but the thing for which he was honored was important and should be remembered. Do you find this valuable?
