around for many years and are still happening in today’s era. Stereotypes have been a major factor in the debate around Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" song. There are several misconceptions about the sound and target demographic of country music because it has historically been associated with white musicians and fans. Lil Nas X's song gained

Soto’s “Small Town with One Road” is a poem that deeply touches upon the issues of Latin Americans stuck in small towns. With the use of literary devices such as similes and imagery it illustrates the deep pain in the townspeople’s hearts. In line 24 the speaker thinks “Papa’s fields wavered like a mirage”(Soto “Small Town”) which shows the illusion of a perfect life in small town fading away. This is a simile that hints at the imperfections hidden in the small town of the speaker’s upbringing. The

In the opening line of “Small Town with One Road”, Soto uses the pronoun “we” which forces the reader to be more emotionally intrigued by the poem than a third party observer (Davis). This writing technique is a crucial aspect to what makes his poems so powerful. By compelling the reader to see the perspective of an impoverished Latino boy for a moment, he/she can more fully understand why it can be so hard to get out of the cycle of the town. His writing takes the reader to what Soto’s

of freeways from as early as the 1950s (Sherman 4). It was an idea welcomed by many and a move seen to link people and ease movement. To the city planners, freeways are an economic development tool that will entice the suburban resident back to the towns. Freeways are divided highways with unlimited access and also without tolling services; they are characterized by the inclusion of two or more lanes on either side to provide a free and uninterrupted traffic flow (US Department of Transportation 15)

Paper Towns Paper Towns is a novel written by John Green. This book was published by Penguin Random House Company in New York. This book takes place in the town of Orlando, Florida which is the hometown to the main characters as well as the author. The novel is about graduating high school students who go to Jefferson High. They go on a road trip later on which ends up setting the story in Agloe, New York. Agloe is actually a paper town, which means it is only a “town” visible on maps to be a “copyright

who had never been past the border of her small town since the day she moved there. Back when she was in high school, she was the track and cross country champion. She ran so fast that there was a trail of flames in her wake. Every house in her tiny town had to be at least a mile apart, but the town itself without the houses was extremely small. Anytime anyone had errands to run, they would always call Jeannette. She was a sweet girl that the entire town had loved from the moment she and her mother

moods. Here, every two-parent family seems to be living their version of the American dream. However, when I drive to track meets in other parts of the state I see things that remind me that my town is far from the norm. If one looks closer, the dilapidated houses and the broken down cars on the side of the road are ever more prevalent. One can see people hanging out on street corners seemingly with nowhere to go. Why is there such a gap in people’s incomes and lifestyles? This is my first real

small rural town located in the Mohawk Valley of Upstate New York. On one side of the town a small creek known as the East Canada Creek flows along the town border and the other side of town is overlooked by huge wind turbines on top of their hilly thrones. The town is so small that it doesn’t even have a stop light but it does have one weird intersection that can be confusing. It consists of two stop signs, a yield sign, an invisible yield sign and a big white triangle painted on the road. This intersection

Small towns and rivers go hand-in-hand. Memories of summer, rope swings, and swimming holes often come to mind when thinking about small towns and rivers. Sometimes the rivers are called streams or creeks, and sometimes they're called bayous, marshes, or swamps. The name depends on the geographical region of the United States you happened to be in at the time. Down south these bayous are the murky outlets of rivers or lakes, the small bodies of water that never seem to go anywhere. In

The difference between small town, rural Iowa and urban Iowa is staggering. Compared to the big city, ‘everybody knows everybody’ in small towns-- especially with high school graduation classes that can be in the low thirties. But still, it’s hard to say that most rural Iowa natives wouldn’t like to be closer to a shopping mall or movie theater. On the other hand, many cityfolk are charmed by the idea of small town life. No matter how one looks at it, each part of Iowa has negatives and positives

When the population of a town increases by more than 318 percent during a single decade — as Manor did between 2000 and 2010 — it is a sign that people are highly attracted to the town. In 2000, Manor was a sleepy little town with approximately 1,200 people, but by 2010, over 5,000 people called it home. The 2016 estimate placed the population at over 8,400, proof that the town is continuing to grow at a brisk pace. New arrivals as well as long-time residents know that they can count on Alpha Roofing

INTRODUCTION URBAN LAND USED SYSTEM Urban land use system means the system which manages the land area in urban cities. The land in urban areas should plan very well to mitigate the issues that arise in the future. Planning of buildings, roads, highways, rail ways, ports, stations and flyovers has to be planned under this system. It is very important to plan the urban land properly by placing the infrastructures in the proper places because wrong management plans will creates huge cost for the economy

capabilities of real life. City 1-Tiny Town was planned to reflect a small city with a center for commercial and residential use, while containing all elements of key infrastructure and public services. A small ideal city would need things like streets, zoning, power, garbage collection, fire and police protection, health care, education, water, sewage, government, mass transit and parks. To keep residents and shoppers safe from industrial toxins the tiny town was zoned with an industrial area outside

American president Abraham Lincoln famously walked six miles each way in order to visit the library. But then cities expanded and people in order to escape the density and attain their so called American dream started shifting to suburbs or satellite towns outside the city. This suburbanization not only caused urban decay in the main city but also made their dwellers completely dependent on automobiles for their transportation. According to Douglas Farr “The belief that an optimal society or an evolved

cleaner cities, improved technology, new politics, and increased population in urban places. When cities started to grow, one of the biggest needs was to clean it. Due to lack of waste elimination methods people dumped waste, even feces, out onto the roads. When horses ejected waste, they would stay and rot in the middle of the

Brick roads are seen less because asphalt is more common due to convenience. Drivers generally do not know the benefits of brick roads. For this reason, I propose that more brick roads be recovered and maintained rather than being covered by asphalt. By doing this people can become more aware of the benefits that brick streets can offer. Brick roads have many benefits that asphalt roads do not. Speed limits are slower and roads are quieter as well. Also in residential areas, brick roads “…add more

INTRODUCTION Tent cities, camps, settlements, temporary spaces, relocation, non-citizen, guest, barricades, containers, fences, security, desert, non-fertile areas… But, home? Not really, human beings stocked. But, cities? Not really, tents with some order. So, how should be the perfect refugee camp? _______ When for the first time in the human history, the population in the cities has overcome the rural populations [1], we still have thousands of people being forced to do the opposite journey:

“The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, is about a tradition that happens every year on June 27th. On this warm day of June, the people of the village gather in a square to participate in the tradition lead by Mr. Summers. In the tradition (lottery), Mr. Summers first calls every head of a family (men) forward to pick a piece of paper from a black faded box. Each man has to wait until all the other men of the village have chosen and then they all open the piece of paper at the same time. The winner is

I lived in Philadelphia, PA and then moved to Millville, NJ. After living in a big city for five years, moving to a small town can be quite a transition. The quick pace of the city was what I have been accustomed to. I have lived in Millville for over a year now, and I still haven’t settled into the slower, small town lifestyle. (THESIS) Philadelphia's community, the convenience of transportation, and diverse culture is contrasting to Millville's way of living. In Philadelphia's community, every
