Paul Goldberger opens his essay by explaining the great depth that architecture emerges into art. My attention was immediately grabbed when he was explaining how architecture, “can be as tiny a gesture as painting the front door of a house red or grand as undertaking as creating the rose window of a cathedral”. He was explaining how architecture has no standard minimum or limitation within the design. Goldberger is supporting his evidence alongside how Frank Lloyd Wright explained how he modernized the American prairie. Goldberger explains how versatile architecture can be by comparing an architect’s style of design being implemented into a completely contradictory region and still coexisting. In a more recent article, Goldberger opened an additional article stating first hand facts of the architecture critic he was revealing in his work. I feel as if the attention grabber was the statement, “she was the first full-time architecture critic on an American newspaper”. These facts Goldberger is opening with and flowing ever so smoothly throughout the article make the reader intrigued with the importance of the critic Huxtable, and her impressive endowments. Goldberger then contextualized the importance of Huxtable’s endowments in the critic to explain how she idealized famous architects in her writing, keeping them well known and significant during the time period. However, Goldberger has also opened with tragic loss stating, “Is that he died suddenly at Pennsylvania Station”…

fibers, pellets, and film, also pollute New Jersey rivers. An example of the highly polluted rivers in New Jersey is the Passaic River in the township of Newark.

The Civil War was a pivotal time during not only the United States's history, but the rest of the world. Advancements in industries, writing, music, the medical field, artillery and women's rights were on the rise and the outcome of the war affected so many lives, and if it had ended differently, the world would have been a divergent place. Specific advances in the medical field like new ambulance systems, or systems for transporting the wounded, would be so widespread that they would be used in…

other states decided to follow it because they believe that is the solution to the actual education problems. However, they didn’t consider the budget that the have to dedicated every year to cover 21 Century goals; student will be learning to perform in the state assessment instead to perform in life, and they will be assessed in only one way.

Evolution is a necessity in our world. Organisms need to be able to adapt to their surroundings in order to survive, but it is sad to see that certain organisms have to evolve to survive in polluted areas, such as the Atlantic Killifish. According to JoAnna Klein, “Starting in the late 1990s, researchers became aware that the fish was tolerant of the toxic waters at the Lower Passaic Superfund Site.” Organisms should not have to adapt to polluted environments. In New Jersey, the law states that…
