Essay About New York City

Writing an essay about New York City can be both a thrilling and challenging task. On one hand, the
city offers a rich tapestry of history, culture, and iconic landmarks that can inspire captivating
narratives. On the other hand, the sheer magnitude of information available about New York City
can be overwhelming, making it a challenge to select and organize the most relevant and compelling
details.

To effectively capture the essence of this dynamic metropolis, one must delve into its diverse
neighborhoods, delve into its history, explore its cultural influences, and examine the impact of its
global prominence. The challenge lies in balancing the depth of information with the constraints of
an essay format, ensuring that the narrative remains focused and coherent.

Moreover, the subjectivity of personal experiences adds another layer of complexity. Different
individuals may perceive and connect with the city in unique ways, making it a task to convey the
universal allure of New York City while still acknowledging its diverse interpretations.

Crafting a compelling essay requires a delicate balance of research, personal reflection, and effective
storytelling. The writer must navigate the multitude of topics within the broader theme, deciding
what to include and what to omit to maintain a cohesive narrative. Striking the right balance
between providing factual information and infusing the essay with a personal touch is crucial to
engaging the reader and conveying a genuine sense of the city's vibrancy.

In conclusion, writing an essay about New York City demands a thoughtful approach that goes
beyond mere information gathering. It requires the writer to sift through the vast array of details,
synthesize a coherent narrative, and infuse the piece with personal reflections to capture the city's
unique character. The difficulty lies not just in the abundance of material but in the skillful art of
distillation and storytelling.

Masculinity In Cathedral
Men are under constant careful scrutiny of other men (Kimmel). They tend to watch each
other, rank each other and grant each other acceptance into the realm of manhood
(Kimmel). Because manhood is demonstrated by the approval of other men, men are
inherently self insecure and look for the approval of others. This concept is evidently
displayed in many of stories in Raymond Carver s collection. Specifically, the short
stories They re Not Your Husband and Cathedral demonstrate the insecure nature of men.
The need for the Earl Ober to seek admiration by other men in story They re Not Your
Husband, and the narrator s apprehension of his wife s friend in Cathedral ultimately
indicate that men are self doubting. Thus, men as a social... Show more content on

When the narrator s wife tells the narrator that Robert recently lost his wife, he thinks
that it is a tragedy that Robert s wife was a woman whose husband could never read the
expression on her face (Carver 70). This proposition sounds atrocious to the narrator,
because he and the other men of the other stories are used to determining their
masculinity through the eyes of other men (Kimmel). Moreover, the insecurity of the male
narrator is demonstrated by his apprehension of Robert, for whom his wife once
worked. The narrator is clearly uncomfortable having the Robert in his house.
Although he claims that this is because Robert is blind, it is rather obvious that it is
due to the fact that the narrator fears that Robert is a rival for his wife and thus, will
usurp his masculinity (Benson). However, the narrator soon realizes what it really
means to be blind. As a result, he no longer feels threatened by Robert and therefore is
not insecure about his masculinity. In fact, when the narrator s wife falls asleep on the
couch with her robe open and showing a juicy thigh , at first, the narrator draw[s] her
robe back over her (Carver 71). However, after he glances at the blind man, and realizes
that the he is no longer an intimidation, he flip[s] the robe open again (Carver 71). In
other words, the narrator does not care that his wife probably would rather not be
showing a juicy thigh. He would only consider the decency of his wife if he felt the
another man was threatening his masculinity. Moreover, once the narrator is no longer
insecure, he is actually able to connect with Robert, without fearing that Robert will steal
his wife. The narrator agrees to help Robert understand what a cathedral is. Because the
narrator s insecurity is only present when the narrator believes that Robert will
emasculate him, the occurrences of the story
Alfred Jules Ayer s Language, Truth and Logic, the Major...
In 1936 Alfred Jules Ayer published a book named, Language, Truth, and Logic. At the
time of its publication, it was understood to be the major thesis of Logical Positivism
(Macdonald). In order to understand the Verification Principle, one must first become
somewhat familiar with Logical Positivism. Logical Positivismis a school of philosophic
thought that combines empiricism, the idea that observational evidence is indispensable
for knowledge of the world, with a version of rationalism incorporating mathematical and
logico linguistic constructs and deductions in epistemology, the study of knowledge (Log
Pos). The Verification Principle states that a statement is cognitively meaningful if and
only if it is either analytic or in... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

According to the Verification Principle, Logical Positivists believe a large part of
philosophy can not be judged as either true or false. Many statements concerning
aesthetics, metaphysics, and theology have been rendered cognitively meaningless and
cannot be proven logically, mathematically, nor by observation or experiment (Reilly).
Woodstock was a great event for music lovers. Tonight the stars will cease to shine. Is
there really life after death? A.J. Ayers and the Logical Positivists believed that
cognitively meaningless statements had no truth in value, and that itself made it a waste
of time to debate them. Karl Popper did not like the requirement that meaningful
sentences be verifiable, stating the positivists criterion of verifiability was too strong a
criterion for science, and proposed that they be replaced by a criterion of falsifiability
(Karl Popper). Popper believed that falsifiability was a better criterion because it did not
invite the philosophical problems inherent in verifying induction, and it allowed
statements from the physical sciences which seemed scientific but which did not meet
the verification criterion (Log Pos). Popper also argues that science should adopt a
methodology based on falsifiability, because no number of experiments can ever prove a
Gascoigne Literary Devices
In For That He Looked Not upon Her, George Gascoigne uses several literary devices
to bring his poem together in a way that makes the point of it clear. He also uses these
devices to show the deeper meaning behind his words. Of many, three of the devices
used prominently throughout his work is form, diction, and imagery. All pulled together
the author is able to clearly portray a betrayed tone towards the subjectof the poem. An
example of the diction in his writing is use of word such as blazing, flame, fire, and
scorched. These words often have a negative connotation as they re ones that often
mean danger or something one should be cautious of or stay away from all together.
By saying the subject of the poem has blazing eyes , for example, Gascoigne makes it
clear that this person is harmful and either will, or has caused some sort of damage.
Words such as trustless, doubt, deceit are also ones that have a negative connotation and
are used to show the relationship between the examples used. All together this shows
that the relationship at hand is meant to have the same connotation and is being
portrayed in a negative light. Continuing with diction, by using phrases such as trustless
bait and dazzled by desire , the author is saying that above only being something cruel,
all of these things are ones that at first appear alluring. By inserting vague words like
hardly and seldom, he says that while it s most often one

The male and female reference group were relevant in the case of whisky based drinks in
bars, as the drink is a core signalling product, besides the man s dressing and other
accessories such as cigarettes or the wallett, in constructing a social identity ,
emphasizing the notion on the reciprocal relation between possessions and the self
concept (Belk,1988; Grubb amp; Gratwohl,1967) as depending upon which is known
best, either [others] come to infer the traits of the person from the nature of the
possessions or the nature of the possessions from the traits of the person (Belk s 1988,
p.146). Given the context of whisky consumption in bars, a place sought for socializing,
relationship generation and development, the possessions play an even greater role as
these function as heuristic shortcuts to inferences about their possessor s charactersitics.

An Essay On Detective Mills Character
Detective Mills Character from the movie Se7en
The movie itself has a complex design and was a thriller/horror/crime Hollywood kind
of film that was done in 1995. It is directed by the director of the Fight Club film that is
David Fincher. The main characters in this movie include Morgan Freeman who plays
the character of William Somerset and Brad Pitt who plays the character of David Mills.
The two characters get involved in a series of horrible murders carried out by a serial
killer who finds his inspiration from the Seven Deadly sins theme that is wrath, envy,
gluttony, sloth, lust, greed and pride (TVTropes, n.d.). The character of Mills depicted
in this film balances between the roles of hero and villain and therefore Detective Mills ...

he is portrayed as an idealistic person in his work which is mainly channeled by the
fact that he has a naïve egotism as represented when he contradicts with officer
Somerset. Officer Somerset wishes to retire soon and intends on leaving a legacy in
detective Mills as they both have the same views of justice and ideals in a town filled
with corruption but Mills being a person who is headstrong does not allow Officer
Somerset to fully change his character. Since Detective Mills is full of pride, this
makes him to fall from grace as the movie/film nears the end. The death of envy was
realized when Tracy, Mills wife died and with the death of Doe in Mills hands also
results in the death of wrath through loss of freedom and innocence. His death was also
the death of envy as he admitted in the movie that he envied mills. From this events of
the death of Tracy his wife, Detective Mills character changed as his life was ruined
which also resulted in the shattering of his idealism. In the film, from then henceforth
Mills becomes the murderer s plaything because everything he loved and treasured was
taken away from him by the murderer and thus acts as expected by Doe (Wakeman,
