A Description of My Home Village/City
A Description of My Home Village/City

I live in St. Louis Missouri in the United States. I actually live in a suburb of St. Louis called St. Peters. It is about a twenty five minute drive to downtown St. Louis. Missouri is the state right in the middle of the United States. There are about six million people living in Missouri, and around 400,000 people living in St. Louis. St. Louis is a very diverse city. We have many people from different cultures from all around the world living here. We have a large international airport. There are many universities that have international students attending. English the language that is spoken in my city, but there are many people that live here that only speak a little English, and some not at all.
St. Louis is a city rich in technology and is growing and developing. Many people from other countries come to live and work here in St. Louis. Once a person from another country can obtain a work permit and a Social Security Card, there are many jobs that one can apply for. It is illegal for companies here not to hire someone based on their race, sex, culture which gives great opportunity for people from other countries who come here for work. In other countries such as Asian countries, it’s difficult for Americans to get jobs there except things like teaching English or they have special talents and are highly qualified.
We have everything anyone would want when it comes to technology. Wireless everything, free wireless cafes where one can go and get on the internet while eating their food. Stores where that day you can go and buy almost everything that is new such as computers, cameras, TV’s, cell phones, etc…
Since there are so many people living here with such different cultures, the dress code is also very diverse. There are many business people who work and go out wearing very expensive clothing, very casual people wearing dress casual, and very hard working manual laborers who wear clothes that get very dirty while

    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.

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…

    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…

    A Pretty How Town

    Audre Lorde once said, “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.”(Lorde) During the 20th century many authors used a new modernistic style of writing. E.E. Cummings, a modernist writer, saw poetry in this way; his poem “anyone lives in a pretty how town” shows how he believes poetry is the skeleton of our lives and that it brings about new perspective into people's lives. Cummings was born in 1894 and died in 1962, and throughout his writing career he created more than 2,900 poems. In the poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” themes such as a move away from reality, alienation and disconnectedness, and realistic details are used to show his attitude and the attitude of the American people during this time.…

    anyone lived in a pretty how town was written by e. e. cummings. e. e. cummings is writing about life in a small town and also about happiness. I look at this poem as a form of unconscious delight, which may seem different to others, but it makes me happy. everyone in the small town sits back and does absolutely nothing. the poem is actually about a man named anyone and a Woman named noone. anyone found the love of his life, noone. every part of anyone's life affected her life in some way. one day anyone died and nobody died soon after. the two of them were buried side by side, which showed how strong their love was. no body was supposed to know of their love for each other, but every one did because it was a small town. i believe that cummings was trying to talk about finding true happiness. anyone and nobody were truly happy together, even though they shouldn't have been (according to the town). even after the two of them die, they find happiness together in the after life as they dream together. cummings shows how people can find true happiness, even if it is in a small town.…

    The purpose of the dress code is to have a better understanding that students do not come here to show off their style, but to come here to learn and get a better education. Students fail to realize the difference between dressing for success and dressing to impress. Dress code is nothing new to our society; many jobs require you to wear certain types of clothing or a uniform. Therefore, these schools are simply preparing their students to have a successful and bright future. Students should be more concerned about what they can learn, not what they can or cannot wear. Education is what motivates student’s people to the top of the platform their wardrobe. “Be careless in your dress if you will, but keep a tidy soul (Twain)”. Students should beware, their future will not depend on…

    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects workers from employment discrimination based on their race, color, religion, sex and national origin. This term paper focuses on the prohibition against national origin discrimination. In enacting this prohibition, Congress recognized that whether an individual's ancestry is Mexican, Ukrainian, Filipino, Arab, American Indian, or any other nationality, he or she is entitled to the same employment opportunities as anyone else. Likewise, Title VII's protections extend to all workers in the United States, whether born in the United States or abroad and regardless of citizenship status. "Title VII articulates the national policy against national origin discrimination in the workplace, while also preserving an employer's freedom of choice to make sound business decisions. As the composition of the American workforce continues to change, Title VII's prohibition against national origin discrimination has become increasingly significant in ensuring equality in employment opportunities." 1) Today, about one of ten Americans is foreign-born.
