Authors paragraph:
The story was written in 1856. He lived in new york when he published his short story in the New York Times.

Well i would have to say that he may not of given facts and statistics, but he may of seen this happen, it’s not hard to see this in the world. My grandma’s boyfriend has cancer, and he worked for Ag Valley for years, and he was fired from there because they seen that he wasn 't going to get better and let him go, but this is about the story not me.

There are many mini stories throughout this work. The author tells an extremely brief tale about Illinois Avenue.
