The Death Of The Cold Streets Of Manhattan

The purpose for writing this essay is to demonstrate how gentrification is shaping the Culture and identity for Halrmites from the socio-economic perspective. Harlem has changed dramatically over the last two decades due to improvement in housing stock and outside investments into the community. However, in my essay, I articulated my ideas toward the economic aspect of gentrification because gentrification is driven by class, not race. My audience would be the lower income Harlem residents who have been displaced or on the verge of displacement because their wealth is not contributing to the economy. The people who have been preserving the cultural identity of Harlem for decades now forced to leave the community. I tried my best to connect a broader audience by explaining the deteriorated housing condition of Harlem and how it led to gentrification. This will help reader

The authors, researcher at the Columbia and Rutgers University, explores the gentrification of Harlem as it has started taking effects on the indigenous residents. The causes of gentrification ranging from changing of lifestyles, participation of women in white collar sectors to rent gap conditions of housing stock,where potential value is perceived to be greater, explain how Harlem is gradually losing to the power of almighty dollars. The authors indicate that decline in housing quality due to tenant abuse, domestic violence and tax delinquency left Harlem in situation where intervention of outsiders was necessary. However, the outside influence and private investments gradually taking a significant tolls on the long term Harlem residents,

Stephen starts to attend school and play baseball with his newly met friends. In the town resides an antagonist named Will Henry. Will is a bully, and he constantly gets Stephen and Jenny into trouble. One day, they fight off Will’s gang, and are forced to serve detention with Mr. Tuttle, the town’s teacher. Eventually, Stephen and Jenny decide to leave town, and circle around behind Will’s house and pull a prank on him. They shoot firecrackers in his backyard, and they scatter all his family’s livestock. What they thought would be a funny prank soon turned out to be lethal, and cause much devastation and destruction. This harmless prank was misinterpreted by the townsfolk to be an attack by the mysterious Fort Leonard. Settler’s Landing fears this community, and believes that they have spies, and they have bad motives. That night, Settler’s Landing citizens attacked Fort Leonard. In retaliation, the Fort hired slavers that attacked Settler’s Landing. A terrible war took place, and in the end tons of people were injured and many were killed. Among the killed included Will Henry himself. After the battle, Violet comes to inform Stephen that his father had not survived his injuries. Stephen buries him, and must learn to move on from his past life as a salvager. Instead, he decides to call Settlers Landing his home, and continues his new lifestyle.

At the bird’s appearance and apparent vocal articulation, he is at first impressed, then saddened. He compares this evening visitor as only another friend which will soon depart, just as “other friends have flown before” (58). But the raven again echoes quite aptly his one-word vocabulary, thus leading the man on to think more deeply about the possibilities that exist at this juncture. Somewhere deep inside him, he has realized that it doesn’t matter what question he poses, the bird will respond the same.

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived in Flatlands in Brooklyn. His name was Georgevitch and for a living, he worked as a security guard for MetLife Insurance at 200 Park Avenue in Manhattan. He worked six nights a week patrolling around the building. One night he was patrolling the building and he thought to himself that there was no need for him. For several weeks, absolutely nothing had happened. Many things were going through his head. He was earning 25 dollars an hour. And that was better than what anyone else could offer him. Except for two things. He had shoplifted a couple of times and made a decent amount of money. Another time he had forged fake cheques. So, he could withdraw random people’s money. He was never caught, but his face was caught by cameras at the bank. He is still wanted by the police.

He wonders why the birds are just waiting in the sky as if they are waiting for a command, why they are restless, and he thinks it is strange that they are little birds and they are the type of the birds that normally keep to their own territory and don’t have a history of attacking people . When he looks out toward the coast, he sees the birds flocking in his direction and he believes that for some odd reason, they are going to come down to the

The school he attends when he is a little older is a school by any means, but there is great turmoil. Often the older boys pick on the younger ones and while this may be brought to the attention of the director (the principle, headmaster etc.) the older boys would be punished but it would be so overlooked that as soon as they were finished being punished, they would return from their beatings and give them back tenfold to the young boys who told on them. This section is actually one of my favorite parts.

During his adolescent years, Stephen is forced to stay at home due to his father's financial problems causing him to reject his schoolmates and
