Gentrification means the process of urban renewal throughout areas within the city. Julie Turkewitz, a reporter who specializes in Latin American studies investigates a proposed Business…

The Bronx has many locations where graffiti can be noticed. The grand concourse, a major route in the Bronx is home to many of the graffiti locations in New York. For instance, The Andrew Freedman home is a landmark for New York City and is located at 1125 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY. The house was many graffitti (artwork) on its boundary wall and in the inside as exhibitions. During 1924-1983, the Renaissance Palazzo styled Andrew Freedman home served as a beautiful location for the elderly. In…

The snow pattered softly against the window pane that night, performing its elegant dance for all to see. The flakes twirled about in the wind, all perfectly shaped despite no two being the same. They were without flaw, Marguerite the dog no doubt felt as she greedily ate up their cool sweetness. Stefán urged her onwards along the glittering Toronto streets, tugging his hat further down his head. They finally stopped before a store no larger than an average apartment. The name Theo’s Travel…

my joyous attitude quickly filled into regret. Fear and distress instead consumed my mind, leaving me confused and anxious about my aftermath. It was at that moment had I wished I waited. The day was like no other, cold and breezy with a chance of snow. I woke up at six a.m., dreading…

I was asked to choose a commercially available piece of music and analyse the recording techniques used. The piece I have chosen is ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen from their 1975 album ‘A Night at the Opera’ (Queen, 1975). Written by the band’s lead vocalist, Freddy Mercury, the song was recorded in 4 different studios between August and September of 1975. These were: - Rockfield Studio 1 - Roundhouse - SARM (East) - Scorpio Sound Bohemian Rhapsody was produced…

far away castle, where the peasants and the royalty were close, and the animals were friends of the humans, a king and a queen were leaving happier than ever with their 3 princes. It was well known by everyone around the village that princesses, queens, kings or other majesty figures, always had blond hair which was a symbol of royalty, magnificence and dignity. One day, the queen, who was known for her endless generosity and had the kindness of an angel was walking in the forest surrounding…

queenly aura and lashing out with slurs of crude invective, Celes snapped her eyes to where she thought the bear was (the darkness concealing his small form) shouting with now bloodshot eyes, some of that redness from some restrained tears, but the Queen of Liars would never admit something like that.T "Now, now; if you're going to act like that, perhaps I should call you Yashuhiro." Celes froze up upon hearing her real name being called out to her by Monokuma, herself considering the best…

than others was like eating rotten eggs. This always had tendencies of getting me into trouble. While snowboarding down, the snow was pure white, soft as if it were marshmallow fluff or clouds in the sky. If you took a step onto the snow your feet would disappear into the ground. The sky had elegant snowflakes gliding down that kept building on to the already abundant snow that lay there, although it was gray, and covered in clouds it didn't deter from the beautiful scenery. The trees marked…

Valcourt, Quebec is a very snow heavy place in Canada. The roads were never plowed in rural areas like Valcourt back in the 1920’s, making outside travel during the winter impossible. Growth was slow, towns were very spread apart, and illness during these periods spelled death with the inability to travel. What if one machine could change all of those things and more? Joseph Armand Bombardier thought so when he created the first snowmobile in 1922. More so, the snowmobile was the largest bolster…

ski lift as I looked at the snow glow in the cold February sun. As I waited in line, John was grabbing ice balls the size of my hand, then throwing them at my back. Without anything to throw back him, I felt as helpless as an amputee in a war-zone. Even though Jack was next to me checking my ticket, he did not seem to care that someone was throwing ice balls at me. He didn’t even care to look at my lift ticket which explains how I got on the lift. I tried to find snow to throw back to John…
