The Apartment Building At 67-35 Ridge Blvd

During my return trip to downtown Tucson I visited my favorite place and the one which I felt held the most power. The Cadence apartment gives anyone who enters it the feel of a five-star hotel. The apartments gave the ambience of upper class with its constant cleaning crew working to keep it in prestige condition and multiple amenities only the nicest and most powerful of places would possess. When entering, you are welcomed to a long all white hallway with multiple fireplaces and flat screen televisions. The all white building gives the impression of a sleek and clean upper class building. After continuing down the hall, you are greeted by a fully equipped gym and a large pool and hot tub. Overall, with grand sweeping hallways, five star amenities, and classy atmosphere, The Cadence possesses much of the attributions that lead a building to be architecturally powerful.

Upon reading the first few sentences of the paragraph, one can easily assume E. B. White has inhabited New York once before. His capability in drawing three New Yorks established his familiarity with the city and its various versions. This is implied when he states, “There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts for its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter--the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something” (White). Coming from the perspective of the author, it adds an authentic value to his words and description of the types of people who live in New York. The individuals who exist in each of the version contribute to New York’s remarkable essence

After standing for nearly six decades, the two public housing high-rise buildings that once defined Blumberg Apartments and

As for New York City, in the novel it is defined as the perfect place to live life to the fullest and not have a care of the world. As a reader, it is expected to envision this city full of lights as a bright, restless, and colorful place. Nick Carraway depicts New York City as a “...city rising up across the river in white heaps and sugar lumps all built with a wish out of non-olfactory money. The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of

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.

After a few days, Medina’s new perspective of New York becomes set in stone. He makes note that “the snow on the ground did not stay white for very long. Nothing does in New York. It started graying at the edges four days after our arrival when my father took my sister and me to school, Robert F. Wagner Junior High, on East 72nd street”(Medina 72). The snow is a metaphor for Medina’s dreams and expectations of New York. When he first arrived he thought that it would be a perfect place, filled with happiness, but this idea was quickly tainted, just like the snow. His perspective may have been the most affected by his experience with his school. Medina describes the school as “Inauspicious, blank, with shades half-raised on the windows, it could have been a factory or a prison”(Medina 72). When the place where he spends most of his day at is described as a prison it is sure to have a negative effect on his perspective of the city. In combination with the snow metaphor it is clear that Medina’s positive outlook has shifted to one of disappointment and despair. He feels trapped in the place that was supposed to be his saving grace.

When Paul, the main character, decides to abandon his childhood home to travel to his ideal city of New York, he eventually succumbs to the bitter reality of his own struggle with depression. “It was the old depression exaggerated; all the world had become Cordelia Street” (Cather 21). In Paul’s Case, by Willa Cather, the author writes of the depression-ridden Paul who attempted to convince himself that his appreciation and admiration of his dreams were nothing less than ideal, but they ultimately morphed into obsessions that failed. Despite Paul’s limited glimpses into his greatest hopes of living a life well beyond his current lifestyle, it was one he eventually realized he could never attain. Paul believed he could convince himself and the world, that Cordelia Street was where he started, but the lavish life of a New Yorker would be where he—not only deserved to be—but where he was meant to be. Despite his efforts, he ultimately fell. The aspects that made Paul resent Cordelia Street were aspects he discovered everywhere else—including New York City.

While the city had its positive attributes, sometimes the young people get wrapped up in the negative aspects of the city. George also realizes that New York is a place where people, especially young people, restrict themselves.

New York City’s population is a little over 8.3 million people. 8.3 million people are spread out among five boroughs and each have their own set routine. Each one of those 8.3 million see New York in a different way becuase “You start building your private New York the first time you lay eyes on it” (“City Limits” 4). Some people are like Colson Whitehead who “was born here and thus ruined for anywhere else” (“City Limits” 3). Others may have “moved here a couple years ago for a job. Maybe [they] came here for school” (“City Limits” 3). Different reasons have brought these people together. They are grouped as New Yorkers, but many times, living in New York is their only bond. With on going changes and never ending commotion, it is hard to

I was dispatched to 345 West Vine Street at approximately 1807. KDPS had received a report from an unidentified caller, who reported that a young female was verbally assaulting multiply individuals. When a arrived at 345 West Vine Street, Michael Rose, Layla Rose, Patrick Powder, and Maria Chips were standing on the porch.

“Serene was a word you could put to Brooklyn, New York. Especially in the summer of 1912” (5), is the famous first sentence in Betty Smith’s bestseller, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn (ATGIB). Joche says this book reads realistically because it was

Public transportation is also close by, so traveling within the city is never an issue.

The night in the city was going to be especially cold tonight. The sky had been overcast for almost the entire day, leading to a brief although torrential downpour in the mid-afternoon. The streets of the Bronx outside the third-story apartment window that Leonard Jefferson Bennings now looked out were saturated from the July rainstorm and shone with a glimmer he remembered seeing from his bedroom window in Massachusetts many years ago. He wondered if he would ever get to see his childhood home again, and, if he did, would the world of his youth still exist even there? Like the final beams of sunlight of the day, his hope was growing faint as he looked out on what had once been the metropolitan heart of his

One of the main reasons that New York looks more promising, is because of the culture and because you can do many things, even at night (Rosenbaum). Whenever people talk about New York, we think of movies, a land of wonderful opportunities that could lead into The American Dream. These opportunities are for everyone, not just people who are from the city, even from people that come from absolutely nothing. This makes it one of the best wonderful cities in the world, there’s so much variety of skills that people have, because of the people that come from different places in the world. Because of this, no one will feel alone in this city (Rashid). There are millions of people walking down the streets, laughing, interacting, and since they know that the chances of them seeing you again are very slim, they become very extrovert, especially the people that are from around. This is good if you’re trying to make friends, because you can meet a lot of people and if you don’t want to keep hanging out with them, you could just dismiss them or keep in touch. One of the negatives that this city has is that some places are very dirty and smell bad (“Why is New York”). Because of the big amounts of people making trash in the streets and their houses. But the trash accumulations happen because the budget of the city is very small for sanitation. If people cared about it enough and protested to put more attention on the sanitation, then the city would turn around and change some things, but it seems to not be a problem for New Yorkers since this hasn’t happened. For me, this wouldn’t be a problem, since I was
