Gossip Girl Book Report
The city of New York is magical. With its flashing lights, parties every night, it truly is the city that never sleeps. Yet there are two sides to New York, two very different sides when comparing it to class. There is Brooklyn, and there is the Upper East Side. The Upper East Side is where the beautiful models, talented actors live, and their children. Where just your last name can get you into events and parties. This is where the rich and fabulous live, and their children who are even more fabulous. Even though they live a great life, there are certain things that make being fabulous not worth it.

Gossip Girl is a gossiping site focused in on the young of the Upper East Side. She (if it is a girl) pretend to be like them, and is attending school, but remains announce thought the book. Instead she stalks the main Upper

Or that is how she tells it. Other believe she had a baby, did major drugs, got a STD, or slept with every boy at her new school. Serena who left off at a high note, felt strange going back and becoming a loser. Even worst is when her best friend Bair doesn’t act like a best friend anymore. Well after what Serena did to her boyfriend, who would want to befriend her?

Cecily von Ziegesar was not afraid to write as a teenager talks. The book use explicit language, and details about the girls that not too many people would want to hear. The book introduces all the main character, which was quite a lot for one book to take. As a lover of the television show, this book is different as Serena’s brother is older, Chuck and Blair both have a younger sibling, who is mention a total of once. The writing was bad and tacky at some parts, and with the many characters it was hard to keep track. As the first book in the series, it left off a bad taste for what is coming

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is part one of a three part trilogy called the Millennium Trilogy. The novel was written in Sweden in 2005, by Stieg Larsson. The book sold millions across the world and has been translated into several different languages, including English in 2008. It also has two films, one filmed in 2009, and the most recent one in 2011. I believe the novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson is one of the best crime novels on the shelves because of the twisting plot lines of the story, the dynamics of the characters, and the style of writing that Stieg Larsson uses.…

    Money cannot buy happiness. This famous proverb initially provides a comforting idea; that life is worth more than wealth. However, Willa Cather’s “Paul’s Case” provides a more unsettling take on this proverb. Cather asserts that the upper class has more than just money. They have a radically different set of societal expectations and standards, allowed the privilege of exclusive pastimes, such as the fine arts. Paul exemplifies the consequence of when someone of a lower socioeconomic status enjoys entertainment seemingly limited to only high-class elites. Paul, like many, chases after the idea that purely increasing his wealth can give him a life around the fine arts, but he fails…

    Reeking of oppression and constraint, Kazan uses the physicality of the Hoboken docks to convey a world that “ain’t a part of America”, where corruption and the “love of a lousy buck” has dominated the desperate majority. By filming on real life docks the essence of hopelessness felt by actual longshoremen is contained, thus making the film slightly more socially confronting and the need for change slightly more urgent. As a representation for the American Dream, the ever-present Manhattan Skyline is, for the most part, stuck behind fences or cloaked by fog, implying a physical barrier between success and the longshoremen, who are powerless to do anything but “just take it”. We are presented with generations of men caught in the cuckold of a “code” that has perverted every aspect of their lives, making them constantly look out for the “hawks” who “hang around on the top of the big hotels”. It is this…

    This story revolves around a trip taken by five young children, accompanied by a woman named Miss Moore, to Fifth Avenue in New York. Miss Moore takes these young children to this precise location in order to teach them a lesson regarding the invisible privileges and vastly greater possibilities of wealthy individuals living in America. Although main character Sylvia does not strongly or outwardly express a will or newfound desire to change her currently low economic status for her future self, the reader is able to interpret by a specific line in this short story that she has undergone a significant transformation. Towards the conclusion on this publication, the reader can observe Sylvia's interest in overviewing what she had learned earlier that day. Sylvia mentally states, “Ain’t nobody gonna beat me at nothin,” which suggests that her stubborn, hardheaded resistance to see the truth in front of her has been transformed. Her transformation will perhaps drive her will to succeed financially in the future. This fiery, young lady certainly seems to be expressing a different outlook not only on the leader of the field trip, Miss Moore, who she formally resented and ridiculed, but also on her future aspirations to become successful. The reader may be able to infer that young Sylvia has learned the lesson of social inequality and her discovery of such an existence, motivates her will to one day become educated and financially stable. Even though the entire short story does not revolve around Sylvia expressing an acceptance or reason to change her once ignorant outlook on society, she certainly gives sufficient reason through her actions and her mental thoughts that she is going to strive to make a difference in her current…

    This gentrification began with the onset of the redevelopment of the outlying areas surrounding its borders. Wall Street bankers, now finding themselves to be in a new class of wealthy, flocked to this exclusive area. Once again, Brooklyn Heights was more financially out of reach for lower income residents than ever before. For a family who once dreamed of living close to New York City and not out in the suburbs, Brooklyn Heights was no longer an option, even for many two income families. With the onslaught of the very wealthy and the accompanying increase in property values, local “mom and pop” stores which were mainstays for the locals over the course of many years were unable to afford their rent. Big businesses, such as The Gap, Barnes and Noble and CVS moved in to cater to the masses in the surrounding newly-developed neighborhoods now containing high-rise apartment buildings and scores of new residents. This type of gentrification seems to be contradictory to the desires of the class of people who inhabit the exclusive blocks of the historical district that one knows as Brooklyn Heights (Davidson, 2012).…
