The neighborhood of Brooklyn is where both my family and I reside. Brooklyn also happens to be the home to most immigrants from Africa, Asia, Middle-East, the Americas, the Caribbean, and all contributing their rich talents and cultures to the borough. And this kind of diversity is manifested in the linguistic compositions by these multi-ethnic neighborhoods within Brooklyn. Emigrants from English-speaking nations find it easy to linguistic integrate with the locals as they already have the advantage of knowing the English language.
The socio-economic levels within Brooklyn appear to be lower than the surrounding neighborhoods of the greater New ...

Yeager by Tom Wolfe

Summary:
‘Yeager’ by Tom Wolfe is an essay about a wonderful U.S airline pilot named Chuck Yeager. The essay begins with an airline emergency situation in which the airline has had trouble with its controls and its pilot Yeager handles the situation very comically and adeptly. It was hard for the passengers that they were in an emergency situation, judging by the way in which the pilot spoke. These, according to Wolfe’s descriptions, are greatness of Yeager, who with his enthralling Appalachian accent, could move mountains in a very casually seeming way. Yeager had fought during the Second ...

Hart Crane's "To Brooklyn Bridge" is a rare poem that effectively uses diction to convey the immensity of something as large as a bridge. "To Brooklyn Bridge" is much more than a dedication to the famous bridge. The poem's word choice represents the grandiosity of the bridge itself. Its diction and tone combine to achieve a quintessential work that accurately depicts the size and importance of the Brooklyn bridge to New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers alike.

In the first stanza, Crane asks a question in a rather inquisitive tone. "How many dawns, chill from his rippling rest/The seagull’ ...

Two key issues emerge from the film, Do the Right Thing - race relations and the use of neighborhoods in cinema. Young, in her book entitled Fear of the Dark, explains how race and racism are often heavily highlighted in movies. It is as if Hollywood draws breath from them. Mennel in her work, Cities and Cinema, she observes that the use of cities and neighborhoods is provides powerful excitement to scripts.

The issue of Latino/a identity is not an easy one. Like many other ethnic groups in the USA, Latino/a community demands respect for their historical experience and political ideologies as well as recognition of their civil rights and socio-economic status in the U.S. society.
Suzanne Oboler et al. in Latino Identities and Ethnicities try to emphasize the complexity of Latino/a identity both in terms of terminology and national references. Though not differentiating the terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” in Latino Identities and Ethnicities, Suzanne Oboler et al. point out that many others do see the difference since a great number ...

Introduction

As a father of free verse, Walt Whitman breaks the limits of the general poetic form, and in general, his poems are prose-like. Even though he did not invent the free verse form, he uses it effectively in his poem that gains fame among the readers. He uses profound imagery in his poems, including debris, rotten leaves, and everything in nature, especially what he considers as nature, which includes sexuality, including prostitution, and death. He reflects and mirrors the nature and the world around him because he strongly believes there is a symbiotic relationship between poet and world. He rightly says ...

In 1947, the top 1% got 12% of the aggregate, and after three decades, in 1978, that stayed about the same - entirely bring down - at 9%. The main 1 percent's offer held at near 10% all through each of the three decades. The post-war period is broadly seen as a brilliant age of the white collar class, with an economy energized in critical part by working class spending. The working class prospered. Its numbers extended, and its expectations for everyday comforts climbed consistently. The U.S. economy developed, and that development lifted a large number of families out ...

When Lilacs Last In The Dooryard Bloom’d

The Poem entitled “When Lilacs Last In The Dooryard Bloom’d” is Walt Whitman’s romanticized story of an American leader during a trying time. In his poem, he shows the audience his own meaning of democracy as well as racial equality. His poem speaks of Abraham Lincoln as the one who brought about racial equality in a land that was being tried. This was during the time of national disagreement, when their great leader fought for equality and abolitionism. This was the most prominent theme seen in Whitman’s work here.
He speaks to the deceased president about his ...

It cannot be denied that gang activity has always been a recurring problem in the United States, but it is notable to know that gang activity in itself has a colorful history behind it.

A criminal from the Prohibition Era, he was the leader of the Chicago Outfit—a crime syndicate known for illegally distributing alcohol during that time.

1. The central issue of Aarti Shanani’s essay "Legalization and De-legalization" is the difficulties which the immigrants have to face due to the imperfections of the law. The anecdote of Julio Beltre's father's deportation sets up the central theme of Aarti Shanani's essay as an example of unfair treatment of the immigrants and the impact that it makes on the immigrants themselves and their families as well (Shanani, 208).
2. Shanani claims that immigration is "the issues everywhere," and it is impossible not to agree with him (Shanani, 208). With the ...

The programs that would be analyzed for the current discourse are the Early Head Start Program of the Children's Aid Society and the Promise Neighborhoods Program. At the onset, the two programs share similarities in terms of focusing on the educational needs of children in poor or disadvantaged neighborhoods.

On the other hand, these two programs ...

Do The Right Thing

Introduction
Spike Lee’s incendiary, stylish film Do the Right Thing is a wonderful example of race relations in the late 1980s; in the face of police brutality and gang warfare in the ghettos of America, a fine line exists between black pride and equality, portrayed elegantly and energetically by director Spike Lee. Multiculturalism is at a razor’s edge in this film, with many members of the community being one arbitrary offense away from being beaten or killed by an insensitive police force, or prejudiced, conflicted whites in their own neighborhood. The events of the film are representative of the ...

Emily Dickinson is well-known for writing on a variety of themes, death being major contender among them. “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” and “I Heard a Fly Buzz” are two strong examples of poems with death as their overarching theme.

The latter poem depicts a woman attempting to die peacefully when a fly interrupts her tranquillity and her very passing as well. While ...

The opium war which took place in the 19th century was one of the first major defeats of the Chinese government.

China was also ignorant to the western revolution and considered the western culture barbaric. China was a traditional country which held strongly to its traditions and culture.

Is there too much pressure to go to college?

Teenagers should be given the option to pursue knowledge with or without college. Education is acquired with the prime objective of gaining knowledge; the colleges are one of the facilitators of knowledge but not the only one.

There is a need to understand that the adolescents are yet to become mature to withstand the mental pressures coming from different quarters- parents, peers, teachers etc. The pursuit of knowledge is successful only if the push ...

Mitch Snyder was one of the most influential advocates for the rights of the homeless in the American history. The methods he used to achieve financial support for the homeless were extraordinary and outrageous; however, those could be justified by good intention to take care of the helpless.

Art is conceptual because of its cognitive aspect. It encourages people to use their minds instead of their eyes. Art has many categories. Some of these categories include; romance, paradox, and systems; which I chose for my presentation. Romance Art is a form of visual arts, which originated from the romantic period. It followed an intellectual, literary, and artistic movement, which originated from Europe. Paradox art is considered conceptual art because it has a sensory aspect compared to conventional art. In Paradox art, the artist makes decisions and plans beforehand. This means that this kind of art is influenced by the ...

As such, in order to do justice to the teeming variety of the new America, Whitman experiments with from and language in an attempt to represent himself as all men and all women.
