    The Plus 15 System

    The spatial barrier between the street level and the plus 15 walkway enables exclusion to occur. As said by Ali Madanipour “The physical organization of space, using elements from the natural or the built environment, has been socially and symbolically employed to put visible and strict limits on our spatial practices” (Ali Madanipour, 191). This shows that the segregation between the upper and lower classes may have been strategically imposed by the plus 15 system. As the walkway was built to provide an alternate route throughout the city, the expansion ultimately segregated downtown which is explained by Ernest W Burgess’ quote “In the expansion of a city a process of distribution takes place which shifts and sorts and relocates individuals and groups by residence and occupation” (Ernest W. Burgess, 166). This explains that through expanding the city through connecting the buildings in the downtown core that this exclusion of the lower class was bound to happen.…

    The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle is a modern novel that depicts the lives of two couples--one a wealthy American couple and the other a poor, illegal, Mexican immigrant couple. The novel is, in many respects, a commentary on the stereotypes, biases and walls Americans have built to separate themselves from immigration. Boyle uses these real and imagined boundaries to expose the social, physical and economic divisions between Americans and Mexicans in the United States. The most obvious boundary in the novel is the wall and its conjoining gate that is put up around Arroyo Blanco. The wall is built in order to keep out the Mexicans and rascals that have become “ubiquitous [and] prolific as rabbits”(158).…
