interesting especially the broken window theory. How one broken window on a building invites more broken windows then as a result of the building looking run down it brings the neighborhood down and people start moving away. The broken window theory requires for police to crack down on crime and even punish the smallest crimes such as sitting on milk crates on the sidewalk or dodging subway fare.

Reading “The Open Window” the narrative set the tone for the time and place in which the story was being narrated. Mr. Nuttel was visiting the home so that he could get acquainted with people who lived in the town. Written language did not convey the message Vera, 15, was playing a practical joke on Mr. Nuttel until I watched the video.

let her and Romeo be together backfires exponentially’ shocking both her and the reader. This is known as irony, a literary device that affects the reader’s perception of the story.
