Terrible Transportation in Las Vegas The RTC, Regional Transportation Commission, is the only bus system all around the Las Vegas area and it covers most of the valley. People all over this vast city depend on this multicultural transit system, whether they are old, young, rich, or poor. Nevertheless, riding the bus in Las Vegas is not only dangerous, it is time-consuming, on top of being a filthy place to expose oneself to. The bus in this city is alarming to ride in many areas of the town as

For my research proposal I have decide to choose a book titled: The Road, by Cormack McCarthy, published in 2006. This novel is about a middle aged man and his young son who are trapped on a newly apocalyptic world that has been ravaged by intense fires, earthquakes and winds that leave everything around them covered in ash. The man and the boy face a difficult task of trying to find safety among what is now a somewhat deserted wasteland. Their journey is confronted with many obstacles such as; bad

tourist attraction, many would theorize that it should be a very well off place. However, Willets Point is the opposite of well off and has been for decades. When you visit Willets Point, the first thing you may notice are the cracked and crumbling roads, or the broken drainage system, or the lack of suitable sidewalks for pedestrians. The entire area has been neglected by New York City for decades, yet it still manages to function as a working automotive community. This, however, has not stopped a

I was driving through heavy fog. I soon saw a sign that read “Welcome to Wakefield”. I pulled over at a rest stop, on the side of the road, just outside of town and got out of my car. I haven't seen anyone one since I entered the fog. I entered the restroom labeled “men” for obvious reasons. I splashed water on my face and dried it off. I pulled out a letter from my wife. “Dear John, in my restless dreams I see that town called Wakefield, you know how much I loved that town, you said you would take

The lyrics, “Move bitch, get out da way,” thunder throughout my car as I accelerate down the street. As I reach 50 MPH in a 35 MPH zone, another car unexpectedly enters the lane right in front of me. Pissed off at how slow the car is going, I cut into the opposite lane in the attempt to pass them. I am forced to veer back into my lane as a car approaches me coming from the other way. I reunite with my lane, where I am greeted with a crashing sound. I have now just been in my first accident due to

After a long day of moving boxes and bags into my brother’s new home in the Wall dorms, my parent’s and I filed into the truck and headed for the hotel, just a few blocks from campus. That evening was spent exploring the French Quarter and driving through the city in search of food. My father decided to take a detour down Claiborne Ave. Initially, I did not know what father was looking for, but as we got closer to our destination, I soon realized we were entering Lower Ninth Ward. “Why are going

WISCONSIN, THE BADGER STATE The soothing breeze blows gently through the trees and down low to the branches, going under and over the tall mountains and green, grassy valleys. Cows in black and white graze on the olive colored field of grass, waiting steadily amidst the sights of this beautiful state. More and more dairy products such as cheese, curd, yogurt, and milk are being produced quick as can be in the busy factories. As the blue skies start to clear out for nightfall, the animals start to

Toronto’s public transit system is a mess, and it is about to get much worse. Congestion on Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) buses and subways already stops many Toronto commuters from even considering taking public transit, despite the gridlock on city roads. In 2013, an average of 900,000 daily commuters crowded onto overcrowded buses and subways, according to a TTC operating statistic, further burdening a system that severely failed to keep up with Toronto’s population growth. (TTC Operating Budget,

The Road Not Taken theme essay Luiza De Vasconcelos It takes a lot to find the real meaning in a book or piece of text; or does it? Sometimes finding the thesis of a piece of text is as easy as just reading the text once or maybe twice. For example, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost has a lot more meaning than the literal meaning. An important topic in this piece of poetry is choosing your path. The author is taking himself on a journey, and this poem shows his struggles as he tries to find out

The cumbersome white van miraculously pulled into a deceivingly small parking space. The sight was as strange as a tiny clown car parking in between to larger cars. We stumbled out of the bulky vehicle and into the sunny plaza of downtown Watsonville. Waves of tents outlined a large aerial L-shape. Ripe red strawberries, blueberries, and fresh green leaves of vegetables decorated the vendor’s tables. Orchids, mini and large, beamed from the tables with their vivid white, purple, and pink petals.
