As New Yorkers, we embody the American principle of diversity-- we have a little bit of everything from around the world. In my neighborhood alone, there are three different mosques and then a church. There are three South Asian restaurants around the block, a Mexican restaurant just across the street, and a Chinese restaurant two buildings down from there. In a two mile radius from my house there are three different types of doctors—my pediatrician, my mother’s PCP and my grandmother’s kidney…

you crave meat, I suggest the bacon. It is tender, crisp, and full of flavor. The sausage is good too but the bacon is better. My personal favorite is the farmer’s choice breakfast. It has everything I need and has a great taste. But they also have crepes, pancakes, eggs and toast, home fries, and anything extra you want to add on. They don't just serve breakfast, they serve lunch and dinner too. But I guarantee the breakfast is the BEST meal there!…

It is common sense to know that every sport has a specific shoe designed only for that sport. The shoe may help enhance performance or help in preventing injuries. Whatever it is, a professional will always make sure he has the right shoe for the task assigned to him. But most people do not think that weightlifting shoes are required when lifting free weights. This is a very common error and most people wear other shoes to the gym, just making sure they are comfortable. Weightlifting shoes are…

of a lost one and how this brings sadness to the one wearing it. Similarly when discussing the symbolism, Critic Mark Milne claims, “Several of the characters in the story remark that the veil is simply a piece of black crepe cloth, yet, at the same time, this simple piece of crepe instills a sense of horror in those who observe it because it represents the most abstract ideas of death, mourning, and the hidden secrets of the soul” (9). This shows the true meaning behind the back veil and how it…

located in between West Egg and New York and symbolizes the moral decay between the two eggs. The moral decay is proven when Nick and Tom go down to the valley of the ashes to meet Tom’s mistress Myrtle. “Her face, above a spotted dress of dark blue crepe-de-chine…” (F 28). Myrtle is not as put together as someone who lives in East Egg like Daisy. Daisy expresses her natural beauty in how she dresses. The GG shows four classes throughout the book. The first class is…

As small as our town is, we sure have a lot of attention. Recently Kailua has become one of the centers of tourism on our Island. From Japan to Norway, people come from all over to experience our beaches, shops, and food. Though in light of recent events, a lot of these tourists have been experiencing a lil’ hostility. Robberies, carjacking, and racial assault, these tourists have been displayed with the worst of Hawai’i. As affectionate as our community is towards guests, they do tend to be…

hunting contest continue to play a prominent role in Czech American culture. Around the church some celebration took place by early immigrants. At box supper fund raisers, women baked their fanciest dinners and put them into boxes decorated with crepe paper, hearts, and ribbons to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Customs frequently were derived from old pagan traditions. On Palm Sunday, children created an effigy of Smrt (death), a life size straw doll that might be dressed in rags…

places to eat from: the usual trio of McDonald’s, Subway, and Starbucks, which are all within a few blocks from each other, or the food carts (such as Rafiqi’s) that litter the streets. On the same blocks as the fast food restaurants, we have Suzettes Crepes, three different Chinese buffets, Macaron Cafe, and Kung Fu Tea. Despite trying new foods as often as possible in the past three years that I've been here, I have yet to experience all the food Tribeca has to offer. On top of the variety of…

"My first notebook..... Crepe-de-Chine wrapper..."(Didion p.7). Didion is a master of flashbacks as she is continually importing memories of her past that tie into her present thoughts. She weaves in flashback into almost every paragraph. She uses these flashbacks then ties in…
