Baldwin Community Observation

Decent Essays
There are many organizations I would of served in the Baldwin Community. If I had completed the community service requirement, I would join to volunteer at an after school program at an elementary school in the Baldwin District. I love watching over children and taking care of them. Majority of the children have working families, and they have nowhere to go when school is over. Studies shows that elementary students involved the after school program get better grade, so I can help them with the homework they have trouble on. Also, any teen who has getting themselves into trouble with smoking, using drugs, and drinking or engaging to sexual activity, them getting participate in the after school program will likely to prevent that.

Like the thought processes of many other five-year-olds, Bruce Brooks' chain of thought was childlike and incomplete. Although first led by the design of the nest to believe that it was man-made, Brooks soon discovered that that was not so, much to his disbelief and dismay. By the end of the narrative, the wasp nest had completely changed Brooks' outlook on nature, in addition to opening his mind.…

There are several ways the state park rangers promote the land so that as many people can enjoy it as possible. One of the ways they advertise is by attracting active outdoor people to go on the many hiking trails and bicycling trails or for the water lovers to drop a small powerboat at the drop off or canoe and/or kayak through the various channels of water. When traveling these routes they say you have the possibility of seeing Bald eagles, Swallow-tailed Kites, and Florida Manatees. Bulow attracts others by providing some handicap…

    Paris, when compared to New York, is much more tolerant of the underground “otherness” Baldwin describes throughout David’s dialogue. Though Paris doesn’t necessarily encourage or approve of openly queer people, it is still a safe haven for the pair; since both Giovanni’s and David’s original countries would have stronger opinions on their involvement. America, when compared to Paris, is much more traditional, and is more so likely to have violent responses to those who display “otherness”. Plus, in America David`s father is waiting for him to come home; to answer his questions. This makes returning to the States seem even more hostile.…

    Bushwick Research Paper

    Ten years ago summers for the children of Bushwick promised many things. Some things nostalgic; Puerto Rican Day parades, celebrations of American and Dominican Independence days, cookouts on the sidewalk, people watching on the once-deteriorating stoops, hip hop pulsing through passing car’s speakers, cherry-flavored piraguas, bathing in the refreshing cold water spewing from open fire hydrants. Some things, such as rampant gang violence and the sounds of police helicopters circling the neighborhood, are not as favorably remembered. However negative the image of the barrio may be, the Latino community undoubtedly carved their culture deep into these spaces. The sense of neighborhood that the predominantly Latino population created is in the…
