My Neighbors

I live in a town. All the residents have settled here quite recently. Most of them are them are educated people who have shifted here from the over crowded parts of the old city.
Just in front of our house lives Mr. Ahmed, a retired government servant. He was a head clerk of in the education department. His only interests in life seem to be saying prayers and preaching to his neighbors the virtue of honesty and simplicity. Some people who claim to know him, say that his fondness for honesty developed only after his retirement. His children are rather noisy and mischievous. Every time someone’s chicken fail to return home, Mr. Ahmed ‘s children seem to have hand in it. But nobody dares complain to the father because of the fear of hearing his sermon on honesty.
On our right hand, there is the house of Dr. Akbar. A portion of house also serves as his clinic. He is good doctor and a good man. He has never refused to help a sick man who cannot pay his fee.

    Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town by E.E. Cummings tells the life cycle of townspeople and of one unknown couple. The subtle language choices, inverted syntax and use of repetition make this poem stunningly effective. "Anyone" is the protagonist, who is disliked by the "women and men" or "everyones" of the town, because he is different and follows his own routine. This poem tells the love story of Anyone and Noone. "Anyone" is used as a proper noun,this person isn't spoken about as if he were just anyone, and that he appreciated and valued his and Anyone's individuality. Using 'Anyone' as a single specific character reinforces the idea that this person was isolated from the rest of his town. The use of inverted syntax shows that Anyone is the protagonist of this poem, set in a "pretty how" town. "Pretty how" seems to describe the superficial lifestyle lived by the members of this town. Anyone is a colorful character in a town of black and white.…

    When a child encounters a problem, it usually leads to an err, but being able to learn from these mistakes is an essential part of being an adult. When Amir is a boy in Kabul, he is jealous of Hassan because of the attention he gets from Baba, Amir’s father. One day in 1975, Amir wins a kite tournament, and when Hassan goes to retrieve the winning kite for him, he is ambushed. The attackers give Hassan a choice: give up the kite, or be physically assaulted. Hassan is too loyal to give up the kite as it is the trophy that Amir gets for winning the tournament, and so the attackers rape him. When Amir sees this happening, he chooses not to intervene, and thinks, “Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay, the lamb I had to slay, to win Baba¨ (Hosseini 77). Hosseini puts Amir in this situation to show the difference between a man and a boy. Amir makes a childlike decision when he abandons Hassan for his own selfish reasons. Once Amir decides that he cannot slay that lamb, is when he will grow up. However this does not happen in the alley, as Amir’s childish brain is plagued by selfishness and cowardice. These are qualities that…

Ambrose Flask attempts to unravel the true meaning of freedom in his short story “The Strangers That Came to Town.” This story outlines the journey of the Duvitch family as they rise from the depths of oppression to obtain a sense of equality and acceptance from their society. In his short story, “The Strangers that Came to Town”, Ambrose Flack is showing that true freedom is about being accepted. First of all, the Duvitches’ dark, mysterious past helps bring a deeper meaning to their tale and highlights their longtime struggle for freedom. Additionally, their treatment from the townspeople truly exemplifies the meaning and Euphoria granted by freedom. Finally, the character development of other characters in the story shows that freedom is received when it is given. In “The Strangers That Came to Town,” it is proven that the true meaning of freedom is being accepted through the Duvitches’ dark past, the Duvitches’ treatment from the townspeople, and the character development shown from characters in the story.…

    2. There are multiple symbols used by the author throughout the play Our Town. For example, the time capsule mentioned by the Stage Manager in Act One symbolizes the belief that specific things from the past should be remembered. The Stage Manager says, "So I'm going to have a copy of this play put in the cornerstone and the people a thousand years from now'll know a few simple facts about us..." This symbolizes not only the want for people to appreciate the lives of the townspeople, but also the fact that the play is mentioned dissolves the barrier between the fictional world of the story and the real world outside of the play, from the audience's perspective. The author and the Stage Manager are well aware that the play and the lives…

    Progression is a necessary constant throughout all of human history. As we look back we can see the leaps and bounds we have made in technology, industry, and government; but while development is necessary it isn’t always the best route. Gentrification has been seen as one of those forms of necessary advancement, but when looking at it under a microscope you begin to see the truth behind the “progress”. Gentrification causes the rapid increase in property value, as well as the eviction of life long tenants, and the alterations of whole neighborhoods. On paper, it seems like it’s a great idea to take a neighborhood and give it a face lift, but there is a human element to the equation we are leaving out. Sternbergh (2009) notes that “Displacement…

    Gentrification Community

    • 407 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Gentrification which seems to be the trend in many inner cities is a very controversial issue. The arguments on both sides of the subject seem to be discussed not from meeting of the minds, but it is powered by feelings and incidents. The concept is intended to improve the community, and help the people. The question that needs to be answered is this: is there anything wrong with the intention to invest in a store in an urban neighborhood? I believe that by renovating and restructuring, property values increases which is good for the economy. However, there is a downside to the concept due to the fact that low income small businesses are the ones that are suffering, as the values elevates. Big businesses moves in and as this is done, the small businesses that once populated Downtown Brooklyn have no choice but to relocate or to close their doors. There is no way that the mom and pop shops could…

    Gentrification has always be a controversial subject in which it particularly deals with pushing out the blacks, and moving in the whites. Although many people believe this is how gentrification works, it is actually much more complex. In modern America, gentrification is more of an inconspicuous act in which the lower class is pushed out, rather than just a specific race. Although the majority of the lower class happen to be African Americans and latinos, it is focused upon the removal of the lower class, and rise of the middle and upper class. Gentrification is a constant cycle throughout cities especially in New York, towns such as Williamsburg, have been severely gentrified by middle class and upper class New Yorkers.

    Cities and suburbs was a sociology class where I have learned issues like suburbanization, neighborhoods, culture and poverty, gentrification, deindustrialization, segregation, downtown redevelopment, and housing. Not only did I learned what these terms mean, but also how they have affected us every day. Professor Rosenblatt has given my classmates and I a chance to apply our knowledge through a neighborhood project. The town that I picked was called Wheaton. Through my field research, I think the best ways to raise the quality of life for everyone in the city are: make it more affordable to rent (subsidize), change people’s mentality on integrated neighborhoods through proper marketing techniques and advertising, funding (financially support…
