District

I lived in Boston for over half my life. I spent many years here in this great state – never truly knowing or appreciating the rich beautiful history this city has to offer. After spending an enlightening experience at the Museum of Fine Arts and also an unexpected visit to the Old State House in our city, I was able to see such amazing things that were in both of these historical buildings. I always knew Boston was one of America 's oldest cities dating back to the Revolutionary period. I was…

Challenges in Urban School Districts Brings about Difficulties for Students Attending Higher Level Education Although public education is free in America, students educated in the suburbs are taught differently than students in the inner cities. This leaves the suburbanites decently prepared for a college education for the reason that they have been taught by better qualified teachers who set higher education standards. Are there plans to solve this problem in our future? When I was young,…

For this specific analysis for the novel, I picked the setting analysis of the district where our protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, lives. I believe this journal really exemplified the ideas of knowledge and imagination. By using an imaginary setting, it makes us think about how it can be narrowed back into reality. The imaginary setting, District Twelve, is presented as having “squat grey houses” to “black cinder empty streets” (page. 4). By these features alone…

The Canal district in Worcester, Massachusetts is most accurately described as emerging. Despite its name, Worcester covered the Blackstone Canal in the late eighteen hundreds according to the Preservation Worcester website (Preservation Worcester). The lacking presence of the physical canal provides a decent metaphor for the status of the neighborhood, an area of the city that is lacking in terms of what it wishes it could be. Lynch argues that legibility of a city is vital to their…

barriers to a cohesive society. The film 'District 9,' directed by Neill Blomkamp uses an alien society to highlight certain intercultural communication issues that are relevant today. These key concepts are ethnocentrism, stereotypes and uncertainty avoidance. Human nature’s self-involved tendency leads to discrimination against the unknown, a problem that continues to be prevalent in modern society. By understanding the concepts presented in ‘District 9’, individuals, and hopefully society as…

District 9 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1136608/?ref_=nv_sr_1 If I think about it I would not like to be eating cat food and living in District 9. Turning into a alien looks pretty cool but not worth it. This film was action packet and it was funny at the same time. I thought this movie was going to be a spoof of some sort but then it turned into a good story. When adding the alien and having dialogue with humans it adds more to the movie. This was cool to see because it made you understand that…

Snowflakes fall gently from the sky, tickling the end of [Y/N]’s nose, tempting to stick out her tongue and have a taste. But that’s ruined by the icy air whistles around [Y/N]’s air, causing her skin to tingle and sting. Fingers and toes are numb. [Y/N] tries to warm her hands as she gets to school. “Man, why can’t they cancel school today?” [Y/N] manage to say. “It’s so freaking cold!” She adjusted her hat and scarf as she snuggles inside the many layers of clothes. Nobody attempts to try…

On Thursday, November 12th, I visited the Fredericksburg General District Court of the 15th Judicial District of Virginia to observe cases beginning at 9:30 a.m. in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Virginia General District Court is the lowest level of the Virginia court system and is the most common court citizens of Virginia have contact with. The General District Court is a limited jurisdiction trial court that conducts trials involving traffic infractions and other criminal misdemeanor offenses…
