Downtown Miami

Writing with Readings: “Humorist Dave Barry loves to poke fun at Miami, his hometown ( “Motto: an automatic-fire weapon in every home”) Dave Barry, “Driving While Stupid,” Miami Herald . Throughout “Driving While Stupid” the use of satire is vital to getting the author’s point across effectively. Dave Barry has a fairly strong opinion when it comes to the busy interstate 95 highway traffic in the downtown portion of the gorgeous city of Miami, Florida. The author also talks about multiple other…

Dave Barry is arguing that drivers in downtown Miami on I-95 are the worst drivers in the world. However, he states other major cities, such as: Boston, the Argentinean city of Mar del Plata, and China have horrible drivers as well, but nothing compares to downtown Miami drivers in the eyes of Dave Barry. Dave Barry says that everyone thinks the worst drivers are in their city but they haven’t seen anything if they haven’t drove on the streets of downtown Miami. Dave Barry has driven in every…

area, downtown area, and educational area. 1. The residential area consists of more that 600 Mediterranean Revival Style fine residences with a public golf course, public swimming pool named Venetian Pool, and a luxury Biltmore Hotel. (Steig, n.d.) 2. The downtown area are designed to be commercial concentrated, where companies can settled down from all over the world 3. According to New York Times (1925), George Merrick donated 600 acres and 5 million dollars to found the University of Miami…

between public and commercial space is being blurred as cities are being redeveloped and developers attempt to change the social topography of a city, by ignoring the problem of homelessness and trying to send it away. By studying how the homeless of Miami perceive the city’s recent and ongoing changes, we hope to add to the literature a missing piece of understanding on how people perceive their own situation and add qualitative data from this a different part of the united states.…

Jennifer you need to come to Miami! You said you needed a getaway and Miami is the perfect place for you to experience it. You'll love the atmosphere of Miami. It is a bit of perfection all around.

with precision. The culture, people, and constructions make the difference between falling in love with a place or accepting the discomfort generated by it. Thus, those places like Bogota in Colombia and Miami in the United States are amazing places where the driving IQ, people, and…

A place that describes Miami to me is , Miami Beach. The weather is great. At the coldest times of year, you get into the 50s, maybe 40s ( if we’re lucky), and just in the mornings even then. You can enjoy the outdoors year round. Beach in the spring/summer, fishing in the fall/winter, Everglades trips in the winter. There's a lot to do. Our winters aren't really winters its really summer all year round. It's a place that takes full advantage of its location. More so than some other places,…

The place I would most likely say reminds me most of Miami is the beach. The beach is an all encompassing picture of everything I’ve known growing up in Homestead, a suburb of Miami. It takes me back to the days on my grandma’s ocean front apartment and the days spent running along the beach with my brother Jason. The ocean, the people, and the atmosphere of the beach screams Miami to me. Miami has always been a melting pot of cultures and languages and traditions, and nowhere is this more…

The Fight to End Homelessness As I drive down the streets of Miami, the first thing that catches my eyes are the amount of homeless people asking for money or sleeping on the hot, dirty sidewalks. We’re always quick to judge these people and call them “crazy” or “drunks” without knowing the battles they have to go through on a daily basis. These people are in a constant struggle to survive every single day. During nights when it’s pouring and we’re all under our lovely roofs, these people are…

AED: A pre-health discourse community Here at the University of Miami we are fortunate to have many student-run organizations on campus. Many of these organizations can be classified as a community, and even more specifically a discourse community. According to the American linguist John Malcolm Swales, a discourse community is comprised of six characteristics. These guidelines are the foundation for group communication and participation within the discourse community. I have conducted some…
