Assignment 9
Chapter 14
When I read the chapter 14, I learned narration means a story and some analysis of that story. And how is making this story in alive by communicating between concept.

Comparison Of Nordstrom And Neiman Marcus
494 Words | 2 PagesNordstrom’s store interior design has a traditional wood, elegant appearance and, at the same time, conventional. From the main entrance, people can appreciate the illuminated interior lights of Nordstrom with its picturesque windows placed on both sides of the door where they used to collocate inanimate mannequins dressed in the last attire of the season; a festive recreation to enhance consumerism or, Nordstrom’s’ magazines postcards. The retailer entrance is like a short tunnel, an abstract or geometric museum painting that magnetizes people to discover their merchandise variety.

And Dimed: On (Not) Getting By In America By Barbara Ehrenreich
254 Words | 2 PagesI chose the above paragraph, because it really dawns on you the daily cost of living and struggles faced by the working-class people. “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) getting by in America by Barbara Ehrenreich is an eye opener, as it helps you get a glimpse into the lives of the working-class people and the many hardships endured by them on a daily basis. It is appalling to learn that so many people do not even have access to proper nutrition and healthcare, which I think should be a basic necessity and not a luxury. These people work hard and have absolutely nothing to show for. California is an excellent example of the great divide between the rich and poor, with the middle class almost non-existent.

The early nineteenth century saw a time of growth for many cities in the Northern United States, including Rochester.
