The Italian Market: A Short Story

The city always seemed to push the stars farther away from the world in the dead of night. Rain had begun to sprinkle downtown and it began to trickle across the top of the parked cars in the street. Vernon was sitting there silently listening to the drizzle outside that sounded like pebbles falling on a tin roof, still thinking about the dreams his been having. The Coffee Cup was like any other diner nestled between apartments and liquor stores. There was seven cut-up stools and behind them against the wall sat a cigarette machine and no smoking sign. The counter was worn from years of service. Two booths sat facing the storefront windows

Italian Wealth and the Renaissance (Draft) The Renaissance was an intellectual and artistic movement from roughly the 14th to the 17th century centered around humanism and individualism. After starting in Italy, the Renaissance and its humanistic ideas spread North to places like Germany, Flanders, and England. Italy's wealth, caused by its extensive trade, market economy, and elite-ruled political structure, served as a medium for the dawn of the Renaissance.

Renaissance shopping was “a key moment that brought people of different status, religion, and sex together” (Welch, 2005, p. 303). Through consumption and material culture, one can see the meaning behind both the individual and collective actions of consumers.

The market revolution in the United States brought a sudden change in the manual labor system originating in south and digressed to the north and later spread to the entire world. The integral part of the economic growth in the United States in the nineteenth century was a good thing that brought change in the market. In respect to the change, America took its first major step in creating the world’s most stable and strongest economy, which gave room for growth among the citizens.

During the late 1700’s, the United States was no longer a possession of Britain, instead it was a market for industrial goods and the world’s major source for tobacco, cotton, and other agricultural products. A labor revolution started to occur in the United States throughout the early 1800’s. There was a shift from an agricultural economy to an industrial market system. After the War of 1812, the domestic marketplace changed due to the strong pressure of social and economic forces. Major innovations in transportation allowed the movement of information, people, and merchandise. Textile mills and factories became an important base for jobs, especially for women. There was also widespread

New York city, as the boys arrived they could see all the people that filled the streets, young women with bobbed hair, dressed in short skirts, drinking, smoking and saying what might be termed as “unladylike” things. Many lights and advertisements. They could also hear these beautiful sounds coming from speakeasies.

Thomas A. Farley and Russell Sykes were able to capture the audience’s attention and keep them emotionally engaged throughout their whole argument. They accomplished this by using emotionally charged language, which helped make the audience relate and connect more with the text. Some charged language they used throughout their argument were terms such as “food desert”, “declining inner-ring suburbs”, “destitute rural areas”, and “pitiful three feet.” (Farley, Sykes) The term “food desert” makes the reader realize, and visualize what the small stores are missing and how they look barren, because there is almost no healthy food. The terms ‘declining” and “destitute” help describe how lacking both rural and suburb stores are, and how the problem

Alessandro Rago gazed off into the horizon, on his rural farm in the mountains of southern Italy, which had been untouched by the new industrious technologies. These changes had not yet climbed their way into these treacherous mountains, a season of failed crops would likely kill off many of the village, for the people were already impoverish. However, there was hope of a new life, a land of unknown, but growing opportunity, America. Alessandro moved to Chicago, where he made a new life for himself and his family. Starting with a farmer looking for a chance in the new world, the generations that have come before me have shaped a family history that I can be proud of continuing.

Leaving her place of employment, Lehane took in a deep breath, driving towards Pike Market. Lehane thought about the day, about everything going on around her. Nathaniel coming back, Chris coming back, her father died, and, her brother doing something that he shouldn't have done. It was all piling up inside needing to break out or something along those lines. Parking her car, she got out and walked the mile to Pike's Market. Pike's Market wasn't just known for its Wharf; It was one of the most historical parts of Downtown Seattle, Washington. That and the Space Needle, but Pike's that was the place all the tourists went. Not just to watch the cargo ships come in, or the fisherman bringing in their hauls, but it was a family environment. It was a place

Carl hurried through the streets of Boston, his Red Sox baseball cap pulled low over his eyes to cover his graying hair and his mail clutched tightly in his fist. He strode into his cramped apartment and paused in front of the pile of blank canvases leaning against the couch, collecting dust. Carl hadn’t worked in days. His profession wasn’t the kind to call and demand that he return to work. Though he loved the atmosphere of the city, he didn’t envy the life of suits and corporations and business meetings. He preferred to create and, luckily, he was not unsuccessful.

He says that "It is America before we had the same stores at every mall and the same restaurants along every Main Street. "He tells us how it represents an America where people could open a diner, a tourist's attraction, or a store on town square. How

Doing business in Italy is very different than in the United States. “Set to move onto a slow, but steady, path of economic growth;” Italy, at first glance, seems to be a promising business environment with projected increases in GDP per capita in the coming years, according to Business Monitor International (“Italy Autos Report” 30). However, there are many cultural, administrative, geographic and economic differences that make the business environment much different than that in the US. Generally dominated by domestic carmakers, mainly Fiat S.p.A., the auto industry in Italy doesn’t look very appealing for new firms because of the high barriers to entry. However, foreign carmakers like Ford have managed to penetrate the Italian
