After a couple quick glimpses to Brent the woman picked up her pace and was soon running away for him. By then Brent realized that because of the color of his skin people will perceive him as a thug. Brent is far from a thug, growing up he’s was a shy and timid person who wouldn’t hurt a fly and now a recent graduate from the University of Chicago people will still consider him as a one. After a year Brent moved to New York and was still treated the same way when he was back home. For instance Brent was casually walking down the street of Manhattan and he heard thunk, thunk, thunk of the car door.
represent? In Bel Kaufman’s Sunday in the Park, the quiet park surrounded by busy New York City represents the intent on why the characters chose to go to the park. Morton, being a university professor, an occupation that would keep him constantly surrounded by people, would prefer to simply escape the busyness of New York City by spending a day at the park with his family. The antagonist of the story, Joe’s father, displays a controlling and selfish character which is seen when he says, “Throw all you want. This here is a public sandbox.” (37).

With relation to Loin du 16e, I will be viewing class (Upper and lower) from the perspectives of their similarities and differences. Based on differences between the two classes of individuals viewed from the scene, it is easy to tell who is upper class and lower class in the vignette. Take an instance from Ana’s neighborhood, we saw about five (5) high-rise buildings which depicted the image of a government subsidized environment (low income earners), people walking back and forth to/from their various respective destinations while from the wealthy neighborhood (upper class) we tend to see more of private houses along the streets. Moreover, there were more cars parked on the streets as opposed to Ana’s neighborhood were there happened to be more people walking back and forth. Living in a certain neighborhood, an individual can easily tell the class he/she belongs and also Ana having to wake up very early in the morning and still meets people already walking back and forth shows how publicly is the neighborhood because in the employer’s territory, cars were parked on the streets.
The busy morning traffic is mostly people just driving straight through either people in cars going to work, delivery vans or lorries also a few bikes and buses, none of these will normally have any particular attachment to the area just using it as through road to get from A to B.

The curbs are very high and some historical
In the story we follow the narrator who is also the main character and a black young boy. The color of his skin is based on what Mary says when the cop wants to take her with him. She wants to get followed by another black person, which makes the cops take the narrator with them. Harlem is also known to be a ghetto formed by many African Americans, which makes it quite possible for people living there to be black. The main character also refers to a black cop as a brother, which based on the language only would have been said by another black person.
Lacia Vaughan 5 November 2012 ENGWR 102 The Effects of Urban and Rural Living What is the difference between Urban and Rural living? What are the pros and cons of living either of these different lives? Lets us see. Urban Sprawl is the uncontrolled spread of urban areas, usually taking place on the outskirts of cities, involving the mass construction of residential areas and commercial buildings. Two causes for this being the fact that land and housing costs are cheaper compared to cities, and higher property and business taxes have pushed businesses to the suburbs where taxes are typically low.
Air pollution, visual pollution and noise pollution are both concerned into on street parking impacts.
