the corner of the busy downtown street. New York City! I still can't believe that I'm here or that I'm staying here. Aunt Allison was so sweet to let me live in her place whilst she travels around south America. I step out onto the road when the traffic light changed from green to red. I've loved this city since I was knee-high everything about it sprung out at me, the bright bold lights of times square, the hustle and bustle of Greenwich village and China Town and the serenity of central park.

landed in New York City and it hit me that we are not in California, Missouri anymore. Everything is different: the way of transportation, the prices for goods are outrageous, the amount of people, and just the way of life. Nothing is comparable from where I have grown up. Growing up in a town where there is only one stoplight, to being in this gigantic city where there is a stoplight on every corner changes your whole perspective of a place. The way people live their lives in New York is very different

I moved from New York to Colorado and not only did they have a difference in the environment but, in the activities we seek to do in our free time. New York may be a larger city and its beautiful building, but, Colorado offers nice mountains and great trails into these mountains because I have experienced both states personally this is my ethos. In Colorado we can go to the mountains to have some fun such as snowboarding and hiking with some friends. In these few pictures, it shows the differences
learn so much. These diasporic community and even New York City as a whole have a sense of nationalism, “which are united people of similar language, religion, culture, and history,” (the year of revolution notes) who are proud of where they came from and who they represent now.

Butler Law. This law had been passed by a small town in Dayton, Tennessee to prohibit teaching contra to those in the Bible.

the novel. East Village is supposed to be a town free form the influence of most media. The children are allowed to watch certain films but only the ones the church deems fit. Yet somehow the un-holy films find their way into the procession of kids in the town like Nomi.
