Midtown Manhattan

Occupy Wall Street was a local and international movement that began on September 17, 2011, in Liberty Square Manhattan Financial District, that caused the recession. This people-powered movement raised awareness that there was social and economic inequality worldwide. The argument was that the 1% of the wealthiest Americans were paying less for their taxes than the average Americans. There needed to be a reduction within the gap between the rich and the poor. This angered Americans and…

our great city. But there are still millions of people that work in our amazing city. The Long Island Rail Road, commonly referred to by acronym, LIRR is the ultimate thread that provides great transportation from the suburban Island to the urban Manhattan. A travel on the LIRR takes anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to get to the city, but is beats the hell out of driving with that traffic that accompanies every day’s rush hour at the countries most populated city. People take the subway in…

From the time one sets foot in New York City everything feels different, the atmosphere, the people, the scenery. New York is a whole other world set apart from the real world. It is seen as the place to be in order to conquer dreams. The place where one goes to “make it big.” It is a symbol of freedom, history, and entertainment. While I was in New York I gained an insight into just how free and beautiful our country really is. It truly changes a person and their appreciation for society.…

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…

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…
