Buffalo Spree Analysis

As you walk down the streets of Arcadia, Nebraska, you look from side to side and see nothing more than a quiet little town. What you probably aren’t aware of is the history behind this “little town”. Arcadia is built off of determination, character, and distinctiveness. As you make your way down Main Street, you start to grasp a glimpse of the past. Arcadia, Nebraska is a village with quite a story to tell. Not many people know how Arcadia was founded or even how it came to be. Arcadia has dealt with struggles and overcome tragedies, whereas most towns simply would have died away. In addition to the charm of Arcadia’s perseverance, there are also many fun

As my girlfriend and I pull into a crowded parking lot during a chilly Friday evening, we struggle to find a spot of our own, but manage to do so as we take the place of another young couple as they pull out to leave. I put the car in park as we both gaze at the numerous parties walking into the restaurant. A bright sign, hung lit overhead, shining the phrase "Applebee's Neighborhood Bar and Grill" atop a red brick building. Awnings were placed above every window, and resting on the ground, between each window, was a wooden park bench surrounded by lush, green foliage on either side. The whole place looked as if it had been pulled straight from a friendly neighborhood in the heart of the big apple. I

The ideal opportunity came along in my seventh-grade history class when I received a project to write about what I admire about New York City. I was a citizen here but I was no different from a tourist. I made it my purpose to see the “city that never sleeps.” I had a

As a young person, I don’t really notice how quickly the world changes and advances around me, because I’m changing and growing right along with it. Lillian Boxfish, the elderly title character in the novel Lillian Boxfish Takes A Walk by Kathleen Rooney, does. Her age, a focal point in the novel, allows Lillian to view the world as she remembers it, while at times preventing her from appreciating it as it is. On New Year’s Eve in 1984, Lillian decides to ring in the new by remembering the old with a walk around her beloved New York City. As she walks, she thinks of the city as she once knew it and sees the city it has become, reliving memories both good and bad. In particular, Lillian is struck by how easily the city embraces new culture

Buffalo Bill suffered from various psychological disorders, the first disorder that I will focus on is Buffalo Bill’s Anti-Social Personality Disorder (ASPD). The text states that a someone who suffers from the ASPD as “a psychological condition exhibited by individuals who are basically unsocialized and whose behavior pattern brings them repeatedly into conflict with society” (Schmalleger, p. 132). Buffalo Bill would imprison the overweight woman victims that he abducted in a large dry well in the basement of the home that he lived in. Buffalo Bill showed no guilt for keeping his victims in the dry well, who most of the time would be left in the dark which he enjoyed the thought of them feeling confused

An opportunity arose to visit the city of my dreams. My school’s basketball team was participating in a tournament at Yeshiva University, and my friend Zach had an apartment that we could stay in nearby in Washington Heights. My parents were skeptical at first, because they were concerned with the safety of Washington Heights. I eventually persuaded them to let me stay with Zach, when my uncle Rich volunteered to backstop my trip. I began to contact my uncle Rich who lives in the Upper East Side of New York, to see if he had any advice on what to do while in New York. He worked together with me to brainstorm ideas of how to maximize my trip. I tried to get Zach involved with the planning but he became overwhelmed, and preferred to live by the play it by ear mentality. After a few weeks of planning with Rich, it came time to board the plane in West Palm Beach. Zach and I sat next to a girl who was a native New Yorker. I asked her “what do you do for fun in New York.” She responded by saying “ the best part of New York is getting lost.” I thought that she had an interesting response, but I didn’t plan on getting lost.

As she walks, she thinks of the city as she once knew it and sees the city it has become, reliving memories both good and bad. In particular, Lillian is struck by how easily the city embraces new culture and ideas and forgets the legacy of what came before. Through Lillian’s journey, I learned that while it’s important to appreciate the past, you cannot neglect the present.

“Nanny, what do you want from the boardwalk?” My father said as we were preparing to go down the street to the boardwalk. My little Italian grandma peered out of the window saying “Bri, I want those Zepoles from Three Brothers please.” As we walked to the boardwalk I asked my father about the history of our shore house in Seaside Heights. “It must have been the late eighties when my parents decided to buy the shore house. They wanted a place where all the family could get together and make memories. You know family is the most important thing to Nanny.” The beach air blew my hair out of my face carrying the sweet smell of the Zepoles.

This early in the football season, it's still difficult to get a clear idea about the strength of any given team. Most of major conference teams have been playing against lesser competition, making it precarious to pinpoint exactly where the team sits as far as talent is concerned. It's kind of like doing a 5 Dimes review without ever visiting the website.

Many people don’t realize it, but without Jacob Riis, our city would still be the way as I previously described. New York would be known, not for it’s beautiful city lights, busy streets, and other attractions but for the nasty environment that envelops it. Thankfully, this is not the case and change in our society has occurred. Jacob Riis is a photographer, news reporter, and author. By using his skills, Riis crafted books and newspaper articles, completed with pictures to inform the public about the terrible conditions immigrants and city dwellers suffered in.

Hi there. My name is Genevieve (Jenna for short) and I’m proud to say I am a part of CCU’s class of 2019. I come from a small town in the middle of nowhere in Harford County, Maryland. I have two younger sisters, so I’m the first one of the family to tackle this adventure. I’m planning on majoring in communication with a minor in photography. I discovered my passion for writing/business/broadcasting when I was placed into a journalism class in tenth grade. I never thought I’d end up being the business manager and one of many reporters on a staff that created a 20-page newspaper every month for the next three years, and a main anchor on our daily morning announcements.

The intended audience of Humans of New York: Stories is quite broad, as it is aimed towards adults of all ages, backgrounds and outlooks. The purpose of HoNY:S is to highlight the importance of all types of people, so any reader may be able to relate to one person in the text, or at least be able to appreciate the magic of their lives. The majority of people interviewed are those who would be considered average, everyday American citizens, providing another reason that this text would be considered applicable to anyone who may come across these stories. The author’s use of emotional quotes from his volunteers is what makes a reader desire to continue to the next page. As a society, we take pleasure in feeling involved in others’ lives. For example, reality television has been increasingly gaining popularity, due to the fact that we find interest in finding similarities in the lives of people that we do not

While at UNT, she briefly interned for “The Dallas Morning News.” She believes the internships she did prepared her more for her job than her time in the classroom did, which led her to praise UNT’s requirement for all journalism majors to have an internship before graduating.
