“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)

Washington Heights is a unique and ever changing neighborhood at the mezzo-level, but affects the macro and micro. It located in upper Manhattan that is north of Harlem and south of Inwood. Begins on 115th street, it is typically thought to end around 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

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 A good law was repealed which had required women and [children] to stop work at six in the evening and at noon on Friday.

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

Daniella Owusuwaah Ashley Dunn THE 191: Section K 28, April 2015 Avenue Q: Sesame Street Meets South Park Avenue Q is a laugh-out-loud, fast moving musical that is an adult version of Sesame Street that address racism, pornography, homophobia, and the parable of finding one’s purpose in life through satirical songs. On Friday, April 17, I saw Miami’s production of Avenue Q directed by Ms. Saffron Henke at the Gates-Abegglen Theatre. This unique show uses puppets as a shield to explore issues

“All the past we leave behind, we debouch upon a newer mightier world, varied world, Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march” -Walt whitman. If one cannot notice the almost eerie parallels between the stanzas of walt whitman’s invigored prose in “Pioneers! O Pioneers!” and Willa Cather’s similarly titled novel, you could be considered daft. Some of these major parallels can be seen in major and minor characters seen in willa Cather’s novel and are viewed in the forms of

I believe in West Virginia. I believe in the rugged mountains and the family sensation I experience when I am in the state. West Virginia is where family, friends, and tradition can always be found. This state may seem insignificant to the average person, but in my eyes, it is one of the most influential places in my life. Many holidays and vacations are spent on the glistening lake of West Virginia in the small town of Grafton surrounded by cheerful family and friends. Although we make our way to
