New York City’s old slum neighbourhood, the Five Points, was notoriously known for its vice and crimes.

The film opens with an extreme long shot camera angle, which depicts a vast area from a great distance of New York City. Interestingly, the movie was not filmed in any studio lots or soundstage. In fact, hidden cameras were used to film much of the street action. These cameras were used to capture the essence of the city itself. Many of hidden cameras shot from a long distance, therefore capturing an entire area of action. The narrator of the film, Mark Hellinger, who was also the producer, poses several philosophical thoughts about the city while the lights are turning off at the respected area; “Does money ever sleep, I wonder [referring to the main floor of a large bank at night deserted]? Does a machine become tired [referring to night lights being casted over silent machines]? Or a song [empty street lit by only a few lights]? Does stone ever feel weariness [panning up to see a flat, monumental surface rising to the sky]?” Later in the film, Mark Hellinger states “and even this [referring to the two men walking to the edge of the pier], too, can be called routine in a city of eight million people.” I believe this was extremely important for Hellinger to highlight, to show that anyone can be doing anything, and that, in essence, creates

New York City is made up of five boroughs, which include the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Within these boroughs, there are high and low-income neighborhoods that contain either high or low status organizational structures or facilities. Each division has their own characteristics and top attractions, such as the Empire State building, Central Park, or Times Square. As New York City may be known for great food and fun attractions, New York faces infrastructure problems within each borough. New York City’s infrastructure funding is limited in lower income neighborhoods, where money needed to upkeep the city goes toward prime tourist’s areas or residents living in high status neighborhoods, such as The Upper East Side of Manhattan, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and Lenox Hill, Manhattan. Moreover, abandoned buildings, poor sewage conditions, and rocky roads and streets are examples of low-income area infrastructure problems that may hinder neighborhood growth both structurally and economically. Harlem, East Brooklyn, and South Bronx are low-income parts of New York that lack new and refined facilities, roads, plumbing, and fundamental structures, which contribute to high crime and arrests.

It a place with brightest light that shine at night and buildings that stand so tall that you have crane your neck to look up. I visited New York City a couple of times and those are things that I could never get enough of, but their one tiny thing that I can't stand about New York and that is the New York subway system. Yes the subway is the easiest way to get around NYC, but for me it not so much. My first time in NYC my parents decide that they wanted to use the subway to get around the city. My first thought is that it is going to be dark, dirty, with homeless people sleeping on the floor. when we went in I was surprised because it wasn't like anything I expected. It was clean and there was no people sleeping on the floor, but there was

New York City is a very famous place all over the world. A lot of people think that it is the best place to live. However, some people have a different point of view. I think that New York City is a good place to live for two reasons.

Everyone's New York experience has its differences and similarities. In “Growing up Unrented on the Lower East Side” by Edmund Berrigan and “Here is New York” by E.B White two stories that tell the audiences each of the author's encounters and what they observe living in New York. In White’s journal, he talks about New York as a whole and what it’s like to live in New York. On the other hand, Berrigan speaks about what his childhood was like living in New York.

However, E.B White didn't feel satisfied with the kind of life he was living in New York while Edmund Berrigan seemed to take life in New York for what it is without complaints.

When you mention New York to anyone, they automatically think about Times Square. This beautiful place with skyscrapers, Central Park, and a unique transportation system. However, if you were to ask me what I think about New York; I believe the skyscrapers block the sun, Central park is just a regular park for dogs, and the subway trains rarely run consistently especially in the mornings. I have lived in New York for 18 years, and I have yet to understand what everyone likes about the “ Big Red Apple.”

Utah is most known for its beautiful sightings located all over its state, however, I was lucky enough to visit the capital of Utah, Salt Lake City, which had some of the most beautiful sightings in my opinion. It has a beautiful weather, nothing like El Paso’s. It rains almost every day and has really big mountains covered in clouds throughout the night, but in the morning you fail to realize that the mountain top is filled with snow.

Located downtown is the beautiful and ginormous Temple Square. Within his Temple square is the obvious, Great Temple

The sounds of the city penetrated the walls of the cab as we drove through the streets of Manhattan. I could hardly wait to partake in the action that was happening outside. The buildings themselves were an amazing site to behold. The buildings took on personalities of their own. Each building was bigger and more graceful than the next. When lights were added to the mix it was a dazzling combination. The city itself felt like a great big hug, and I felt overwhelmed by its power. The city allowed me to become part of it just like many others many years ago who immigrated to this awesome city. As I was looking out of the cab I finally got to see in person the sight of all sights; Times Square. The main juncture of

It’s 7:30am, I step outside onto my apartment balcony. Cars are zooming down the over crowded streets, staunch buildings towering over me blocking the greeny lush hills far away. People rapidly walking down the sidewalk. In front of my eyes are shimmery silver and navy colours reflecting from the sky high buildings, they stand out more than the joyous light blue sky itself.
