But on what was supposed to be the most esteemed event in all of Canada, a tragedy occurred.

Culturally or historically, the cultural and literal period from 1820 to 1892, saw the generation before the Civil War when the nation grew to its current size, and therefore began dealing with a number of unresolved issues including remnants of the American Revolution. American literature has flourished since then, with notable authors such as Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Native American Oratory, who represented the actual English language poetry in USA. The American renaissance known as

Brady grew up in the mid-1800’s in the state of New York, where he was tutored in the arts. Brady enjoyed his lessons so much that he opened a studio for his paintings and miniature portraits. Brady became very popular with the public, and when he started to gain fame in his career, he moved to Washington

Bruce Springsteen grew up in Freehold Borough, New Jersey. He was raised in what you would call a working class household. His mother, Adele, worked as a secretary in a local insurance office and brought in way more money than his father, Doug, did. Doug worked any job he could really get his hands on to help out with the family, but he had trouble all throughout his life with holding down a steady job. What nobody knew is that this environment was molding a little boy into the rock star sensation

“Great cities are engines of creativity, and New York University takes its name and spirit from one of the busiest, most diverse and dynamic cities of all.” Growing up in Lewiston, a big city only by Maine’s standards, there is not much opportunity to experience other cultures. Perhaps the only diversity comes from the lone Indian restaurant and the few Halal markets that inhabit the “downtown.” There was always more to be desired, which drove me to seek distant civilizations and ways of life through

My current plan as far as outlining where this thesis is going to go involves dividing Grandpa’s story whereby every part of it will fit into each among the five assigned milestones, starting with his earliest memory in 1941 of Christmas Day at 4 River Lane. I. Millburn High School – played baseball and football (lousy) and graduated twenty-fourth in a class of one hundred and sixty-seven. A. Accepted to Rutgers – 1948 (fall) B. First Jewish guy in Millburn High history to get elected to HI-Y (YMCA)

Hillside Avenue. This neighborhood has the Hudson River on the west and the Harlem River to the east. New York City’s Community Planning has designated Washington Heights and Inwood as Manhattan Community District 12. These two communities are similar in their ethnic populations, make up the tip of the borough of Manhattan, and are often assessed by the government as one district. The 2003 New York City Community Health Profile reported that 270,677 people living in District 12 and “one in two

Kelley says, "Last year New Jersey took a long backward step. A good law was repealed which had required women and [children] to stop work at six in the evening and at noon on Friday. Now, therefore, in New Jersey, boys and girls, after their 14th birthday, enjoy the pitiful privilege of working all night long.” Kelley’s interesting use of the phrase “pitiful privilege”

Philadelphia is the city of the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall among other sights. Yet to the most prevalent characteristics of the area is food insecurity. Poverty is a landmark of any city. Also a landmark is the inability to know here the next meal is coming from known as food insecurity. One may assume that Philadelphian college students do not face the dilemma, but, many face this every day. It has become important to the Philadelphia society and population. This needs to be addressed because

Walt Whitman was one of the most inspiring and influential poets of America in the 19th century and still is today. He has lived in America his entire life and has seen the positives and the negatives of American life. America is similar to a work in progress to Whitman, a nation that is always evolving into something greater despite the rough times. America is said to be a land of golden opportunity, where all dreams come true and people who arrive there are promised a perfect life full of freedom
