    Sociolinguists have drawn American Dialect Region maps for years. Distinctions between varieties of English spoken throughout the country have been marked based on the processes known as dialect leveling, contact, and isolation, in addition to the varying points of origin of those who immigrated to the USA, and their migration patterns westward. According to one such map (Labov et al. 2006), there is a rather large area called the Inland North region, which basically stretches, from the eastern edge of the Great Lakes to the western edge. There is a much smaller area on the map simply labeled: NYC. This is obviously a single region assigned to the unique and diverse linguistic qualities of those who reside in the Big Apple.…

    The Culture of Nineteenth-Century American Cities

    During the late-nineteenth century, American cities grew drastically and rapidly. The introduction of technologies like the elevator and steel frame of skyscrapers blended together in a perfect recipe for expansion. Major cities beginning to develop and flourish during this time, including Chicago, New York City, and Boston, not only influenced the development of American society, but were also influenced by several factors of American life. The key areas of immigration, transportation, and popular culture influenced, changed, and developed American cities between 1865 and 1900.…

    history of america

    Three months ago, we had a presidential election in my country. This election also was a showdown between the conservative and the progressive camp. The election was a close-run thing. No one could predict this very close election. We had two strong candidates, Guen- hye Park and Jae-in Moon. My parents supported conservative group. And I was kind of attracted to progressive camp. While I am doing this assignment, this reminds me of presidential election memories in South Korea. Every point of view is different. I would like to talk about progressive historians of interpretation on the American Revolution within twenty years 1890 to 1940 based on reading "The American Revolution: Revolutionary or Nonrevolutionary?.…

    I recently gained awareness of the future casino development in Schenectady. Many of those developments will be placed in the 100 year floodplain,which can potentially cause further problems when the new developments face ice jams. New development will definitely benefit us,however, in the long run those same developments can potentially affect the residents of Schenectady. Reparations can potentially cost more money than you can ever possibly make by expanding Mohawk Harbors.…

    Annie Hall and Manhattan: Two Different Ways of Looking at New York's Beauty

    Near the end of Woody Allen's 1977 film Annie Hall, Diane Keaton's role as Annie says to Allen's character Alvy Singer, "You're just like New York City. You're an island!" However, the link between Alvy Singer and New York City is not simply a fictional creation. Nor is the connection between Allen's character Isaac Davis and New York in his 1979 film Manhattan fictional adoration. Woody Allen loves New York. It is through the various characters he portrays and through a camera lens that he shows New York in the most majestic and beautiful way that he can. However, both films do so in very different ways. In Woody Allen's Annie Hall and Manhattan, Allen uses the camera lens to convey how big and majestic the city can be. This is done in Annie Hall through various long-shots of the main characters or the exclusion of the main characters from the screen. Both films also use shots of New York and the lives within it to convey how the city never sleeps, and how it is always working similar to Allen's ideals of always busying himself. However, Annie Hall characterizes New York as an entity similar to Alvy Singer through a comparison between the setting, weather, and people of New York and Los Angeles. Manhattan also uses weather as a method of portraying the mood of the city and of Isaac Davis, but instead reflects more on powerful still-shots of New York's inner workings and skyline and dialogue through the voice of Isaac Davis off-screen.…

    History of Angeles City

    In 1796, the gobernadorcillo or town head of San Fernando, Don Ángel Pantaleón de Miranda, and his wife, Doña Rosalia de Jesus, along with some followers, staked out a new settlement, which they named Culiat because of the abundance of vines of that name in the area. The new settlers cleared the woodland and cultivated the area for rice and sugar farming. Don Ángel built his first house with light materials at the northwest corner of the intersection of Sapang Balen and the road going towards the town of Porac. It was later donated to the Roman Catholic Church and became a cemetery known as the "Campo Santong Matua," the site where the Nepomuceno Coliseum is situated.…
