Comparing Cities And Contrasting Cities

Poetry is one of the oldest forms of literature and bridged the gap between oral storytelling and prose. Poetry can be in countless forms, and it can be structured or unorganized. More contemporary poets tend to prefer to use free verse, which has no rules and is completely at the author's discretion for format and flow. Poetry is a creative form of art and can allow for a poet to express their emotions and ideas in an original and cathartic way. As with any other form of literature, similarities and differences can be observed between two works. Two poems, “1999” written by Kevin Gonzalez and “Snowbanks North of the House,” by Robert Bly are examples of poems that have varying components. There are parallels between them, as well as unlike

Poetry can elicit various emotions from the reader, and not everyone will find the same meanings to the poems. For example The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, The Sky is low, The Clouds are Mean by Emily Dickinson, and Harlem Night Song by Langston Hughes all have different themes. Of the three my favorite is The Road Not Taken because it offers its audience a chance to make life choices.

Closely associated with the process of globalisation is the notion of ‘World cities’. World cities are those such as London, New York and Tokyo where urban function has moved beyond the national scale to become a part of the international and global system. They are centres of culture, economics, employment, tourism, transport and communications and have been referred to as the command centres of the World’s borderless economy.

When thinking of literature a person can never leave out poetry. Poetry is defined as “writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm”. And even though there are many people who dislike poetry, maybe because they have a hard time comprehending what the author is saying, this form of writing is very important to the writing world and without it we would probably view writing very differently. Poetry allows our brains to think more creatively. This is because the author never says exactly what they mean in a poem, which makes the reader think more deeply and create their own interpretation of the poem. Poem’s

Poetry is considered to be a representational text in which one explores ideas by using symbols. Poetry can be interpreted many different ways and is even harder to interpret when the original author has come and gone. Poetry is an incredible form of literature because the way it has the ability to use the reader as part of its own power. In other words, poetry uses the feelings and past experiences of the reader to interpret things differently from one to another, sometimes not even by choice of the author. Two famous poets come to mind to anybody who has ever been in an English class, Robert Frost and E.E. Cummings. Both of these poets have had numerous famous pieces due to the fact that they both

Sydney, centrally located on the eastern coast, is Australia’s largest and most influential city. Its multicultural nature, advanced infrastructure, state of the art technologies, scale of foreign investment and architectural ingenuity not only make for a highly desired international tourist destination but are all compelling evidence to suggest that Sydney is in fact an established city of the developed world. As in any developed city, there are a myriad of urban dynamics of change at work that have, and will continue to evolve the morphology of the Australian metropolis.

There are many advantages of cities, both modern day, and ancient. Cities help prevent diseases, they organize people and make them more productive, and they help the economy. In document 1, Edward Glaeser tells how cities help prevent diseases lowers, because all immunities spread when people are close together. People are dying a lot less for a while in cities because of this. In documents 1, 2, and 3, people say how cities organize, and make people more productive. When people are closer together, they can innovate, and help each other out, as a pose to suburbs where people are separated, and generally don't help,each other. This leads directly to cities having a good economy. When everyone is working and things are going smoothly, the city

The Detroit- Warren-Livonia, MI Metro Area and the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA, MD-WV Metro Area are two metropolitan areas in the United States that are completely different from one another. Some major differences about the two areas include, poverty levels, educational levels, percentage of people unemployed and the populations life expectancy. The historical background to each of these areas relates to how they are developed today. Detroit has been in poverty since the failure of the auto-industry back in the 1960s. The failure of the auto-industry began when the three big companies, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors left Detroit city because of new automation advancements.

While observing my two cities that are drastically different which are Philadelphia Pennsylvania and Colfax California. If the thought of these two cities are no there is a completely different surroundings. Colfax California is a small community in the Sierra Nevada's with a population of 2019 people. Philadelphia is one of the largest cities in the United States with 1.553 million people. People congregate in Philadelphia for it's remarkable history.

Both songs, “Them Big City Ways” by Woody Guthrie and “El Deportado” by Los Hermanos Banuelos, represent the stories and discriminations the Okies and Mexicans experienced in Los Angles during this time period. “Them Big City Ways” is a song about the Okies hardships and struggles they experienced after they migrated West and it expresses that California, Los Angles, may not have been as glamorous as its reputation. The song tells a story about a man who was excited to move into the big city with his family members; however, he soon realized the harsh reality of the big city. He came with hopes and dreams, but was greet with discrimination from the White elite class. He was the same race as the wealthy and privileged, but was look down on and considered “white rash” by them because he was part of the working class. Guthrie’s repetition of the song title, “Them Big City Ways,” emphases the unjust treatment Okies received in the land of angels. Since they were members of the working class, they have to be under the elites’ control. The Okies were getting poorer; the White elites were getting richer. Similarly, “El Deportado”

New York City is certainly one of the 1st tier cities in the United State, it is often described as “City that never sleeps” because of its overwhelming activities, and its large population. On the other hand, Seattle is known city as 2nd tier city, along with Washington DC and Boston in United State. We all know that both New York City and Seattle are big cities and has a large population, but what separates them into two different tiers? 1st tier cities and 2nd tier cities are differentiated in various criteria. The population of a city is one of the main factors.

It isn’t always easy finding relationships between two things. Whether it is an object or a poem, finding similarities and differences includes a lot of examining and searching. Poems in particular take time to analyze. While similarities are interesting to find between two poems, differences are also very important because they are what makes each and every poem unique. Many similarities and differences can found while analyzing “When I Have Fears” by John Keats, and “I’ve Always Lived Across the Street” by Jon Whyte.

Kansas City is making leaps in bounds in being recognized all across the nation, especially with its win in the world series. It has been on its way to become an even more eye catching city. From the remodeling and construction of buildings to the newly installed street car, Kansas City is on its way to be an even more beautiful city.Even with all this beauty being brought to the city one can not ignore that beauty is only skin deep. There are things about this city as well as others that no matter how beautiful they maybe they will continue to be ugly.There are many ways a city can be seen as ugly.

Everyone has a different lifestyle. People sometimes have to decide where they want to live. Some people prefer to live in the city while other people choose to live in the countryside. Their choice depends upon their bachground. City lifestyle and country lifestyle are two different types of living. Although, these two types of living differ from each other by environment, job opportunities and cost of living; they also have similar features such as daily routine, values and people live and work in these areas.

Poetry is a varied art form. Poetry is expression with words, using aesthetics and definition. Word choice in poetry is the single most important thing. Devices such as assonance, alliteration and rhythm work in a poem to convey a certain image or to facilitate understanding. Similes and metaphors can take two unlike objects, such as a potato and cinderblock, and if done the correct way use them to describe how Abraham Lincoln dealt with scoundrels. Poetry is beautiful. One of the best genres in poetry, let alone a great literary movement is Romanticism or the post-enlightenment Romantics.
