The Great City Of Los Angeles

Imagine a town, a town that is devoid of any warmth and hospitality. It merely stands as a collection of apartments, houses, stores, restaurants, roads; a plethora of buildings all laid out in meticulous detail for a royal return that will never come. Large, vibrant red slogans with painted with the words “SALE,” only to be read by the dusty, stale wind. If you look up, you see a bicycle, a fine layer of dust slowly inching its way over the bike, chained to a rack, waiting for its owner to never return. Beyond the once-busy market is the town’s clock tower, frozen at quarter past four. Is this what our amazing God created this world for? Is this the meaning of every human life? Is the purpose of life for a lively town to be stripped of its skeleton of civilians, to be reduced

A feeling readily distinguishable for Charlie, who became scarred off his reflective experience in the library. This purposelessness is apparent in a moment in our lives where we are short of ideas with what do with it. Associable with Charlie’s reaction on reading the horrific atrocities committed by people like Edgar Cooke notorious for his unreasonable, random, ruthless murder of people. And of Sylvia Likens, who is inhumanely abused like being, “made to live in the cellar with the dogs.” Page 111. Apart from Charlie, how would you have feel hearing that? Doesn’t that flame of resignation burn within you? Well, it clearly did for Charlie who suddenly experiences a surge of uncertainty and ponders to himself,”I don’t know what to do with myself... I wish you could unknow all I’ve learned. “ Charlies’s pondering could be considered Silvey’s warning to us the audience of these depressive moments postponed for us. Unfortunately, many of us have remained under the radar of Silvey’s notice. With over 13.3% of youth unemployed, according to Trading Economies. These are people like us aged 18-25 years whose has been denied a future motion into life, serving as an obstacle to their desires of prosperity. A denied prosperity forces both us, the readers and Charlie into a state of, “I don’t know what to

I engulf the feeble victim in seemingly unescapable loneliness, overtaking the joys of their heart and ensnaring them in a pit of desolate solitude. The sense of bleakness will overcome the senses and suck out all the bliss they hold close. Because it appears most of humanity rely on one another for comfort and joy, the unavoidable reality of being unaccompanied is enough to drive a man mad. I describe the sense of separation that strikes a soul, sucking out every ounce of remembrance and comfort the past attempts to bring. Yesterday will never return, just as tomorrow always comes; it’s inevitable. Once I reach you, it’s a struggle to get rid of this parasite that I am, called isolation. There comes a point where the victim will decide

Sanctuary cities are considered to be havens for undocumented immigrants who have entered the United States for economic opportunities, to escape violence, or other various reasons. One of the first sanctuary cities in the country was Los Angeles, which along with the rest of Los Angeles County is home to roughly 814,000 undocumented immigrants as of 2013 (PPIC).

In this great city of New Orleans, we have so many extravagant elements that distinguishes us from other cities. From Mardi Gras to the French Quarters to Canal St., they all play an important part in this city 's history. The different historical statues we have scattered about the city also cause major attractions and either people love or hate them. Lately, four specific statues have been getting a lot of attention around town from not only the citizens, but from our very own mayor, Mitch Landrieu. Two of the four statues are the Robert E. Lee Monument in the center of Lee Circle and the P.G.T Beauregard Statue on City Park Ave. The mayor feels the statues should be removed not only because of their confederate backgrounds, but because they don’t have anything to do with the history of New Orleans. So, let’s explore the background of these two, controversial statues, beginning with the Robert E. Lee Monument, and then going to the P.G.T Beauregard Statue, but before we discuss the statue let 's start with the man in the statue.

The girls were in line in the passageway ready to be checked out when the fire broke out. The tiny passageway was not spacious enough for the feared to death young immigrants fighting for a way out of the building. Almost everything in the factory is flammable, so it was difficult to control the fire. The fire department responded quickly, but their holes could not reach the eighth to the tenth floor.

Walking down the streets, I imagine everyone’s stories; I picture them around the campfire. It is so easy to blatantly ignore the world when I only think about myself. Just as with the cottage of hope, everyone deserves a chance to create and grow. Seeing people struggle on the street makes it impossible to turn a blind eye. However, nobody has enough money or power to eradicate the midnight nation or its problems which seep into the daylight

Then, ethnicities of Indian, African, Mulatto and probably many others settled in. Soon, it was part of Mexico in 1821 ensuing the Mexican War of Independence.

It is midnight in Paris. Candlelight haunts the cobblestone streets, illuminating red roses whose crimson petals serve as poignant mementoes of the city’s recent carnage. Overhead, ensconced in shadows, a French flag sways in the November air — stirred by the mourning of its people. In Place de la République, citizens of the City of Lights encircle in prayer. At the circle’s midpoint, a man stands blindfolded, arms outstretched as strangers embrace him in succession. You blink and find yourself standing directly at the foreigner’s side. His hand extends toward yours. Instinctively, you reach to grasp it.
