Whenever we grow up, we have places that we want to move to. Sometimes, home is the place that you want to be, but some other times it isn’t. This decision can be based on many different things, for example, having family nearby, opportunities, and the cost of living, which these two places are very highly populated cities that are in two different countries, and both they speak English differently. London and New York are these options because of the culture that they have, and also, there are very opportunities there, and right now, New York City is looking more favorable because it would be easier to get there. One of the main reasons that New York looks more promising, is because of the culture and because you can do many things, even at night (Rosenbaum). Whenever people talk about New York, we think of movies, a land of wonderful opportunities that could lead into The American Dream. These opportunities are for everyone, not just people who are from the city, even from people that come from absolutely nothing. This makes it one of the best wonderful cities in the world, there’s so much variety of skills that people have, because of the people that come from different places in the world. Because of this, no one will feel alone in this city (Rashid). There are millions of people walking down the streets, laughing, interacting, and since they know that the chances of them seeing you again are very slim, they become very extrovert, especially the people that are from around. This is good if you’re trying to make friends, because you can meet a lot of people and if you don’t want to keep hanging out with them, you could just dismiss them or keep in touch. One of the negatives that this city has is that some places are very dirty and smell bad (“Why is New York”). Because of the big amounts of people making trash in the streets and their houses. But the trash accumulations happen because the budget of the city is very small for sanitation. If people cared about it enough and protested to put more attention on the sanitation, then the city would turn around and change some things, but it seems to not be a problem for New Yorkers since this hasn’t happened. For me, this wouldn’t be a problem, since I was
As for New York City, in the novel it is defined as the perfect place to live life to the fullest and not have a care of the world. As a reader, it is expected to envision this city full of lights as a bright, restless, and colorful place. Nick Carraway depicts New York City as a “...city rising up across the river in white heaps and sugar lumps all built with a wish out of non-olfactory money. The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of
New York City’s population is a little over 8.3 million people. 8.3 million people are spread out among five boroughs and each have their own set routine. Each one of those 8.3 million see New York in a different way becuase “You start building your private New York the first time you lay eyes on it” (“City Limits” 4). Some people are like Colson Whitehead who “was born here and thus ruined for anywhere else” (“City Limits” 3). Others may have “moved here a couple years ago for a job. Maybe [they] came here for school” (“City Limits” 3). Different reasons have brought these people together. They are grouped as New Yorkers, but many times, living in New York is their only bond. With on going changes and never ending commotion, it is hard to
New York City is just like every other major city in the United States. New York City crime rate is the main reason why people are moving out of the city that they call home. American’s believe that a civil decent society is a place where they can receive an education, and have access to things in life such a life, liberty and freedom. According to United States of America (1994), Public spaces are among New York City’s greatest assets. The city’s parks, playgrounds, streets, avenues, stoops and plazas are the forums that make possible the sense of vitality, excitement, and community that are the pulse of urban life. As time goes by these places have be ruined by environment problems such as eye sore graffiti, prostitution, unnecessary panhandling and people in the street intoxicated. When a city have these types of problems, the citizen feel as if they cannot protect their children because of the environment. Fear caused by disorder makes people leave the cities and communities that they reside in.
The issue with the re-developing of New Orleans is an area that has been debated between governors, investors, urban planners, residents and other professionals since hurricane Katrina, the costliest “natural” disaster in 2005. This wonderful place, is a Louisiana city near the Gulf of Mexico. Its strategic position, becomes the exit of the great Mississippi-Missouri river system, which drains the interior North of America. New Orleans is one of the lowest spots in the United States, it is already as much as 17 feet below sea level in some places, and it continues to sink more than an inch a year. Re-developing New Orleans will be a difficult aspect because of its location, topography and weather conditions. However, New Orleans is one of the most culturally rich urban

I was born in Bronx New York, and moved when I was just about to start Kindergarten. I had a lot of family who still lived in the Bronx so I would spend a tremendous amount of time visiting my cousins. I guess you could say I was basically raised in the Bronx. As a child growing into my teen years I would hangout in the school playgrounds to play Basketball with my cousins and who ever wanted to play ball. I was first introduced to the N word when I was around 10 years old. I heard it while I was playing with my cousins and a group of older kids were sitting at a table talking. The part that was odd is that some of those kids were black and white. As I grew up the N word followed me into Brewster NY where I resign currently. I had many
New York City has been in a constant state of change since the 1970’s. Evolving from a state of art and decrepitness to a glistening city of consumption. Yet in Jeremiah Moss’ book, Vanishing New York, the city did not “evolve” for the locals who breathed and lived in the city– the ones who made New York City the place to be, but rather for the big businesses who lure in the tourists who change the city into some kind of sister city to their middle American hometown. Moss uses the same ideas bell hooks wrote about in her “Eating the Other” essay, in that New Yorkers, the “other”, in all their artsy, queer, and ethnic ways are used to “spice up” the city, to make it a place worth coveting so that the rich and elite can sell a watered down/hollow

My project will be about how Wall Street got its name and how it became America's financial industry. As a matter of fact, New Amsterdam or later renamed as New York by the English Rule was first founded by the Dutch in 1614, for no other reason than to make a profit or a buck. New Amsterdam occupied much of the tip of lower Manhattan and was managed by the Dutch India Company. After two decades of New Amsterdam being founded it was a disorderly town with no order established, that caused a bad morale at its lowest. In 1647 New Amsterdam got a new director-general Peter Stuyvesant who had a strict orders by the Dutch India Company to clean up the place up. Within the same year of his arrived as director-general to the colony Stuysevant, banned drinking alcohol on Sundays and outlawed fornicating with the Indians. Therefore, he establishes an economic
“It got to be easy to look at New Yorkers as animals, especially looking down from some place like a balcony at Grand Central at the rush hour Friday afternoon.” (Tom Wolfe). “O Rotten Gotham” argues that New Yorkers are in a state of behavioral sink. It would not be long before a “population collapse” or a “massive die off”.
Jacquelyn was a modest, simple girl from the Bronx, New York. But that 's all she seemed to be. That 's all she knew she was. Jacquelyn, although known as Jacquelyn on stage, was just the young girl that performed in the local bars and pubs of the Bronx.
In the introduction part of the film, it gives a snapshot of how the area is overpopulated due to an increased number of individuals living in the city. Population being a social aspect in the society need to be considered to know how its growth can be controlled with careful attention to the scarce resources available. The society in New York has grown to a level that it is becoming hard to be accommodated in that particular area. The overflowing population has caused the shortage of essential requirements by the human race due to each striving
When you mention New York to anyone, they automatically think about Times Square. This beautiful place with skyscrapers, Central Park, and a unique transportation system. However, if you were to ask me what I think about New York; I believe the skyscrapers block the sun, Central park is just a regular park for dogs, and the subway trains rarely run consistently especially in the mornings. I have lived in New York for 18 years, and I have yet to understand what everyone likes about the “ Big Red Apple.”
The short story Mexico City from 1950 was written by Ray Bradbury. The original name for this story was The Window. It was later named Mexico City and Calling Mexico. All three names make sense considering what the story is about.
