Manhattan Bridge

Being originally from Washington, D.C., I spent my childhood riding the subway with my parents from the city to the suburbs. We would pick up our car at the local park-and-ride down the street from our home, and then repeat the same process the next day. During the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, because of the subway, my parents had quick and easy access to my daycare center. With the said, according to the Department of Transportation, statistical data revealed that from…

As a child growing up I loved my neighborhood, it was a place where everybody knew everybody. I lived only a few buildings away from Yankee Stadium. The streets seemed to be crime free and everyone got along. I remember playing double Dutch with my friends, my older cousins picking me up from the school bus and playing in Ms Rays bushes. I never witness or heard of any crimes growing up in my neighborhood I guess it’s because my mother kept me away from it all, but that all changed with time. As…

I have two big questions. First, I am wondering if Luke will attempt to kill Jouvert. I do think that it would be possible for Luke to kill Jouvert. Luke wants revenge on Jouvert because he told agents to attack his family, killing his parents. Also, Aveline overheard Streicker helping Luke plan to assassinate Jouvert. However, Avie did not approve of this in the slightest. She wanted to take Jouvert away from power too, but not murder him. She also could not bear to lose Luke, but he was ready…

Have you ever wondered how to build a windmill? Or basically anything out of paper? Well, like William Kamkwamba did in the story, “A Young Tinkerer Builds a Windmill, Electrifying a Nation”, I will be demonstrating how to build a windmill, but out of paper. First and Foremost, you will need to have the supplies needed for the windmill! Can you guess which comes first? It’s not that laborious, all you need is paper! The most important detail you’ll need for making a windmill is making sure that…

A small town called Westford, in New York State, that’s where I resided in for eighteen years of my life. Westford is about two hours of the city. The closest grocery store is thirty minutes away, and the nearest hospital is twenty three miles. Westford is all country in every way. Animals ran wild everywhere. Some of the animals you would see are squirrels, quails, chipmunks, deer, and even bear. They were not afraid of anything, until hunting season. The trees are so tall with many colors, red…

Although his parents chose to live in a federal housing project in Lower East Side, Manhattan, Conley comments that his grandparents were not poor and that their wealth gave a security blanket for him and his sister. He conveys some theories about how and why, in 1968, his parents didn’t buy a more comfortable loft in SoHo. In chapter three…

The moment I stepped out of the subway of 42nd Street in Manhattan, I was overwhelmed with a sense of wonder. The kind that let you know everything that there is to see on Broadway, at the same time, reminding you that you have neither the time nor the resources for such adventure. I stood still for a moment, admiring the extraordinary, bright neon signs. I took a deep breath and pulled out my phone in search of the famous Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York. As the location appeared on my…
