    Probably the most resonant chapter of Madame Vieux Carré: The French Quarter in the Twentieth Century is, of course, the section on the effects of Hurricane Katrina. In this section, Ellis discusses not only the negative aspects of the hurricane, “the most momentous event in New Orleans's history since the end of yellow fever,” but also the catharsis that came afterward. The Quarter itself was largely spared from the devastation that occurred to other parts of the city, and so recovered more quickly and was a major source of hope for the rest of the citizens after the…

    Like the early American settlements along Massachusetts Bay and Chesapeake Bay, New Orleans served as a distinctive cultural gateway to North America, where people from Europe and Africa initially intertwined their lives and customs with those of the native inhabitants of the New World. The resulting way of life differed dramatically from the culture than was spawned in the English colonies of North America. New Orleans is a place where Africans, Indians and European settlers shared their cultures and blended together. Encouraged by the French government, this strategy for producing a tough, durable culture in a difficult place, marked New Orleans as different and special and it still continues to distinguish the city today.…

    I have lived in Mandeville, Louisiana – a waterfront city north of New Orleans – my whole life. Mandeville and New Orleans rest on opposing sides of Lake Pontchartrain, a brackish body of water known for its brown-grey hues and occasional corpse. Bisecting the lake is a 24 mile long bridge that once held the Guinness World Record for the longest bridge over water, dubbed the Causeway, which provides a 40-minute drive from one city to the other. Mandevillians will tell you they are from New Orleans. In fact they will insist upon it. Do not let them fool you. Mandeville is a haven for the affluent, with good schools and low crime rates and clean streets. Despite being in the New Orleans Metropolitan Area, it is the very antithesis of New Orleans.…

    In nineteenth- century New Orleans, respectability was arguably more difficult to achieve and maintain than in any other parts of the continent. The urban culture of New Orleans didn't help to add to the respectability they tried to achieve. For instance, New Orleans is notorious for having brothels, narcotics, alcohol, loud music coming in and out of saloons and dance halls, promoting an irregular type of behavior. The Crescent City was a place cursed with violence and crimes, and filled with Mafia or the Black Hand. The rise of concert saloons also had aided to the fact of the lack of respectability of New Orleans. Concert saloons were noisy theaters where people could drink and watch sexual stage performances, ushering in crime to shopping…

    Being an outsider is challenging anywhere in the world. Getting used to the food, the culture, or even the language is something that requires time and effort. New Orleans is a place that regardless where you are from, its people make you feel welcome. In some places, they would try to teach you their traditions, but in most of the cases you will learn by just looking around because almost everyone would be engage in them. I would say the connection between the people and the culture is what makes New Orleans a great city. Sara Roahen is an example of an outsider that fell in love with the city and tried to fit the culture in all the possible ways she could, as it is illustrated in her story: "Crawfish: A Crawfish Is a Darned Beast!"…

We all have either a “hero,” who now in days has to do with celebrities, food, beverages; and they all part of our culture today. While I was reading American Idol Worship, I thought about a show I had seen that made me suspect a hidden message or agenda and I came up with Full house, a popular television show.…

    The presentation of female characters plays a very significant role in both A Streetcar Named Desire and The World’s Wife and though these texts express similar ideas about women, there is also substantial differences. Tennessee Williams’ ASCND, tragic first produced in 1947, sets his female characters within the patriarchal society of post Second World War New Orleans society. Williams’s uses his female protagonist Blanche Dubois to explore the female repression that was present in the late 1940’s before radical feminism made an impact in the 1960’s. In contrast, Carol Anne Duffy’s TWW published in 1999 is…

    ?Under the Louisiana code, patterned after the Napoleonic code of France, a women belonged to her husband? (Wyatt 2). As if this wasn?t harsh enough for the Creole women, ?article 1388 established the absolute control of the male over the family? (Wyatt 2). It is easy to see why Edna felt out of place in this New Orleans society. Women were thought to be nearly useless. Under article 1124 married women were equated both with babies and the mentally ill, all three were deemed incompetent to make a contract (Wyatt 3). Despite this brutal treatment, and overall disrespect toward women, few women spoke out against this treatment, for women were supposed to be very conservative during this time period by virtue of both Puritan and Catholic beliefs. Wyatt describes the Creole women as being very conservative, perhaps the most conservative group in the nation during this time period. Louisiana had its own set of problems that added to the confused feelings of this society. It was a state created out of three different cultures. ?It is American in many ways, but it is also southern, and Creole? (Wyatt 1). The combination of theses cultural forces was very strong. The Creole culture was very different from others, it was Catholic in a Protestant country. All of this chaos contributes to Edna?s intense feelings and emotions that strongly oppose this late 19th century…

Jackson was the third of six children and lived in what she called a three room “shotgun shack” near the Mississippi River levee. Both sets of Jackson’s grandparents were born into slavery and freed after the Civil War. Jackson learned the struggles of the family’s history through her Uncle Porter, her mother’s brother. Jackson’s mother died suddenly when she was five years old of an unknown illness, and her father, a barber who was not often present during her life brought her to live with a relative, Mahalia Paul or “Aunt Duke.” Young Jackson went was far as the eighth grade until she was hired a laundress to bring income to the household in addition to helping with her aunt as a domestic worker in various positions.
