Therefore. people need to take an extra effort to conserve the land. Out of the many unwanted effects of urbanization, one of the most prominent consequences is the disappearance of lands surrounding developed area. Many companies and businesses mindlessly purchase land to build on, not caring about the…

American city. In a “Decomposing urban sprawl,” Peiser identifies “…that consumer preference and technological innovations help explain suburbanization and decentralization.” By the same report, these factors are further augmented by …”market failures caused by all manners of subsidies…and that public goods such as open space tend to be under-supplied by the private market” (Peiser, 2001). This information makes it clear that “suburbanization and decentralization”—sprawl—is being propagated by…

The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines sprawl as “to spread or develop irregularly or without restraint” . This describes the problematic and reckless nature of urban sprawl. Uncontrolled urban growth increases pollution on the environment for a number of reasons.

Also, the amount of asphalt…

However the same policies designed for this purpose may actually contribute to expansion of the urban fringe and “leapfrog development”.

New York Trilogy by Paul Auster is a page-turner to say the least. The surprising ride Auster delivered covers a range of literary and critical topics. I expected it to more or less follow the expectable twists, turns, and general direction of the genre I believed it to take part in. What I got was something different. It seems to me like in all three trilogies, “City of Glass”, “Ghost”, and the final trilogy “Locked room”. All have a similarity of losing someone. In the first trilogy “City of…

1. Jonathan Maberry, the author of award-winning book Rot and Ruin, writes this story in a very eye-captivating way including interesting character development and plot through the theme of “Sometimes you have to be the change you want to see”. The story starts off with the protagonist, Benny, hating his brother, Tom, for his cowardly appearance in his first memory of his parents and the zombie-infested, ruin, outside of the encumbrance of the fence. As the story progresses Benny must find a job…

Throughout City of Glass, the identities of characters, and even the author, are unclear. The protagonist, Daniel Quinn, embarks on solving a mystery for his unknown employer, but as the plot unfolds, he becomes increasingly unsure of his own identity. Thus, while Auster initially presents his novel as a work of mystery focused on the secrets of the Stillman family, his novel ultimately tackles the uncertainty of identity. Tim O’Brien similarly writes In the Lake of the Woods as a seemingly…

In the nature of men the desirer to do good is necessarily for the good of others. It’s somewhat appropriate to desirer good in any situations with a clear purpose. Having absolute power isn’t a bad thing to over come the enemies in battle. It great to know the outcome before it take place, but the desirer to have power can be side tact in Tolkien reading. The lord of rings displays some interesting tale of corruption with great power. It gives examples of the temptation throughout the reading…
