    The Only Two Town Summary

    In the short story "The Only One in Town"; written by Jack Ansell, Marcus and Lillian Greenbaum were the only Jews in all of Twosboro. This was a small town of only 1700 people, located in north-central Louisiana. Marcus and his wife were "typical white residents" of Twosboro despite being the only Jews: they owned and operated a clothing and dry-goods store, they socialized with the white community and whites made up most of their customers. Marcus found himself to be the only white man in town who wasn't signed up as a member of the White Citizens Council. Signing up for this symbolic council was the only way to show your loyalty to the white population of Twosboro. Marcus Greenbaum made an ignorant decision when he neglected to join the…

    My Observation Of Crestwood Drive, Amarillo

    At approximately 1745 hours, I was dispatched to 9514 Crestwood Drive, Amarillo. Upon arrival, at 1758 hours, I met the reporting persons Ronald C. Bentham and his wife, Sara L. Bentham, in reference to a burglary report call. They stated that they returned home from shopping and found that someone had broken into the home and taken numerous items. Mr. Bentham stated that no one else was at the home, and they called the police immediately after returning home. He stated that he and his wife went to town to do some shopping, and then they had dinner at a local restaurant. He stated that when they returned home they found the back door open and the wood frame around the door broken. It appears that someone used a pry bar, or a similar tool to…

    A Town Without A Crazy Analysis

    In the short-story Wanted: A Town Without a Crazy, a very odd yet humorous view of Turkish culture is expressed. I believe that Hilmi, the “Crazy” of his town, is in fact not crazy but extremely intelligent and cunning. Him convincing an entire town that he is completely disconnected from their world and lives in his own, proves this even further. Hilmi conned them in such a way that the townspeople themselves did not even know it.…

    Any Lived in a Pretty How Town Analysis

    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.…

    Our Town Analysis

    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…

    African-American Urban Neighborhoods

    Immigrants suffered a lot during this period, plus they were living in a very filthy condition. After 1865, American urban communities developed at a phenomenal rate, and urban populaces swelled with specialists from provincial regions and abroad. To move expanding populaces around the city, urban communities spearheaded imaginative types of mass travel. High rises came to check urban horizons, and new electric lighting frameworks energized nightlife. Neighborhoods partitioned along class and ethnic lines, with the regular workers possessing swarmed, terribly constructed apartments. Settlers grew new ethnic societies in their neighborhoods, while bigotry took after African American transients from the rural country side to the city. Urban neighborhoods provided immigrants and African American with a place which felt like home for them. They could stick together, talk a similar dialect hone every same custom. It had common guide social orders also. Be that as it may, it made immense isolation ethnically isolating additionally partitioned along efficient class. The Immigrant and esp.

    Our Town Critique

    Through December 5th through the 7th, I performed in Thornton Wilder's play of Our Town. The only sets or props that the actors or actresses used where folding chairs for us to sit in, umbrellas to hide Emily (Julie Dumbler), and flats on both sides of the stage to hide the people behind them. The reason for the lack of set is so the audience can use there imagination of what the town of Grover's Corner, New Hampshire looks like. All the rest of the props that the actors had to use were pan mimed and acted out to the fullest to make it look real. The only other experience with no set was with Miss Henery in Neodesha and it was a disaster so I didn't know how well this was going to work out. But with the help of our director Peter Ellenstein and the rest of the cast, the pan miming was very successful. Our performance space was a modified thrust stage. The shape of the stage served us well for this play, but the back stage was horrible. All of the chairs that we had to use were folding chairs that made a lot of noise even if you hardly touched one. One neat thing about the play is that all of the sound affects were made by our backstage manager (Lisa Mitchell) or other members of the cast. In exception for the clock chiming at the end of the play. People who have seen the play tell me that it is a very heart moving play. I did not get that feeling because I was always backstage or onstage. Ether way I didn't get to watch the play so I couldn't see what was so moving about it. The only humor I got was from lines and the funniest person I heard was Professor Willard (Gary Mitchell). The audience is led through the entire play by the Stage Manager (Cory Venable). He literally talks to the audience between every scene explaining what is going on in the story. I thought Mr. Wilder did a good job in having a Stage Manager do this. The Stage Manager tells and shows us a story a young girl growing up and facing death, even after death. He show us how Emily…

    The Three Settlement Areas

    The three settlement areas of the early Americas, the North, the Middle, and the Southern colonies were somewhat similar, but had major differences. When looking at the similarities shared amongst the three colonies we can compare their language, issues with the natives, English common law and the form of democratic societies in each of the colonies. Contrasting the differences of the colonies we can look at slavery and other ethical standards in each society such as where women stand in society compared to men, economies and agriculture, and the government in each of the colonies.…

    Neighborhood Observation Essay

    Earlier this evening, I took my family of two sons out for dinner, and we were contemplating whether or not to go do Papa John’s or Domino's for pizza. We ultimately decided to go to Papa John’s due to previous visits being satisfying, but this time, we did not feel the same about the pizza and the employees. We waited for an hour for our pizza to come, the waiter was extremely rude and ignorant, and the pizza did not taste nor look like pizza. My family and I deserve a full refund and an apology for what had occurred at your restaurant today.…

    Immigrant Neighborhoods

    In order to understand the immigrant neighborhoods, one will first have to look at what was happening in the nation, beginning in the early 1900’s to the early 1950’s. Arguably, the events leading up to and after the Great Depression has what reshaped the future of the immigrant story. Leading up the Great Depression, the push to create and shape immigrants into true American molds was rapidly increasing. The idea of Americanization, stemming from young radicals, was to encompass and provide a new way of life for certain immigrants. These neighborhoods that were then formed by certain immigrant groups encompassed their ideas and identify. New immigrants moved to communities with like-minded similar people, creating a series of chain migrations…

    A City Upon a Hill

    America evolved from a colony of England to one of the most powerful countries in the world by a constant challenge of its morals and by making courageous decisions when it was necessary. Its accomplishments were lead by the greatest thinkers to ever live. America’s actions were sometimes immoral, and that is why the U.S has succeeded. Throughout history, the United States of America did not make economic, social, and political progress in reaching its goal of becoming a “city upon a hill”.…

    Diversity of Small Towns

    I am from a small Bible belt town called Reform. Reform was named after a preacher refused to return until the townspeople reformed their ways (Ashcraft, 2011). I lived in this town from the time my mom brought me home from the hospital until I graduated high school and went to college. Reform is a town that history forgot about. Reform is still segregated meaning the white people live on one side of the street and black people live on the other side. Everyone looks different, because all people look different. I will say one thing that when grouped together the white people look the same and the black people look the same. The best way to describe Reform is picture the town from the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes” where the whistle-stop café was located.…
