Armilla is deemed a thin city, but why it is deemed so cannot be concretely seen in the text. It could be related to the lack of characteristics that contribute to a sensory picture of a city, such as the walls and floors, the rooves and windows. It’s simply the pipes, the hidden veins of cities that no one thinks about when they’re out of sight, so they seem less of the city even though they are, functionally, of deep importance to it. A different take on Armilla’s thinness could be the other…

This drove the growing unrest and crisis in Europe. There was at least one war in progress in Europe during the early 1700s, including the thirty years war. “The Thirty Years’ War (1618-48) began when the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II of Bohemia…

Four thousand, four hundred seventy-three miles away there is a little town in Poland named Zamosc, the place where I was introduced to diversity, culture, and acceptance. The green, blue, red, yellow, and white colored buildings surrounded me as I learned how to be me. The slim faces, blonde hair, and tall bodies forced me to embrace my culture and love it. My family that lives there caused me to say that Zamosc is my second home. When all of my family in Poland is together there is such a…
