Nashville pales in comparison to Chicago’s beauty. Chicago had a deep art influence which is reflected by its architecture, display of Alexander Calder’s sculptures, Cloud Gate (better known as “The Bean”), and The Art Institute of Chicago. The Windy City also has a natural element which can be seen in the blue waters of Lake Michigan and the gardens of Millennial Park. However, Nashville just isn’t much to look at. It is mainly streets with strips of buildings, some of which are sleazy bars and strip clubs. There are other factors to consider when looking at the two cities. For instance, the weather it gets much cooler in Chicago. If you prefer a warmer climate you would most likely choose Nashville. Due to the temperature difference there
However, if you still insist on visiting the Twin Cities there are only two places worth visiting before I'd advise you to move along to the Black Hills or catch a flight to Chicago:
In, “Why I’m Rooting for the Cubs in the World Series” the faith and disappointment tones reflect on Rick Cohen’s belief that one day the Cubs baseball team will win one day in the World Series. The team has not won since 1908, but Cohen is still in the stands rooting that one day the team will have a comeback and eliminate the “curse.”
The first and most obvious distinction between these two cities would be the scenery it has to offer. Whittier is surrounded by green hills that are filled with trees and houses. It provides the community with lots of parks and hiking trails all around. There are also many convenient places that are easy to walk to such as places to eat, grocery stores, shops, and entertainment. Although Whittier has a lot to offer to their community it is very populated. The streets and the neighborhoods are always filled with people and cars, parking was never an easy thing to find. In contrast, Laughlin is surrounded by mountains that are made up of the desert and open space. There aren’t too many places that are walking distance
Sheridan would be a great place to live because of its close to the mountains, all my family lives here and Wyoming’s schools pay teachers significantly better than Georgia. However, I have lived my entire life in Sheridan and feel like I need to get out of my comfort zone. Dalton has such a strong appeal to me because when I visited a college there, everyone was so welcoming. Dalton seemed to offer a home away from home. Something about the southern hospitality makes me want to be a part of that community and school district.
Making the All-star game is an achievement any player should be proud of and what the Chicago Cubs infield has done is nothing short of amazing. There is only one issue I have with all the hype about the upcoming event. It is played in July. Last I remember, the Cubs were swinging for October and losing the World Series wasn’t an option we were going to be satisfied with.
The Orioles have developed two potential hall of fame players, Mike Mussina and Manny Machado, over the past twenty years. Mike Mussina was the Orioles ace during their last playoff run in 1996-1997, and received over 50% of total votes for the hall of fame in last year’s voting. Manny Machado has been a star for the Orioles since 2012 and is just about ready to reach his prime years as a player.
In my visit I saw the Police Department, the new Baseball Field "Dunkin Donuts" that is not in use yet, and many parking lots almost full. I did appreciate many office buildings and hotels, and also saw the Capital Community College's building. I saw High school Students walking in uniform, also students from the College, and people well dress probably from offices and having lunch at that time. The area is more work related, looks clean and has many fast food places and restaurants around. There was a bus stop full of people awaiting and boarding the public transportation. The area is work and business related and it counts with several
The longest sports drought in history was finally put to bed after 108 years the Chicago Cubs have reached mountaintop as World Series champions. They did it in style coming back from a 3-1 deficit and being part of the most-watched baseball game and 25 years. It's one of those sporting event you are going to remember exactly where you were when the Cubs broke the curse.
If you ask a Houstonian about the music scene around town, you would get a pretty bleak answer. Many people seem to believe it starts and ends with Beyoncé. It is especially considered “nonexistent” in comparison to another city in Texas, Austin. Austin has this huge reputation of having a phenomenal music scene and it is even billed as “The Live Music Capital of the World.” Yes, Austin has great local bands and many avid music fans but so does Houston. Even though it’s not extremely renowned, Houston has one of the most influential and diverse music scenes in the country.
The dystopian novella, Anthem, is set in an age in which every aspect of life is controlled by oppressive leaders. In this society, everyone was deemed equal to each other, meaning no new ideas were allowed and the past could not be discussed. Individuals are told they exist only for the sake of serving society and have no other purpose. Strict rules were put in place involving everyone’s daily lives, their partners, and even when they were allowed to smile. The goal of this controlling environment is to be completely free from conflict and maintain peace and order by giving citizens little freedom.
A society where a man’s precedence is to serve only for his brothers. Laws and rules are crafted to prevent promotion of individualism and preserve cruel uniformity under the form of moral virtue. Anthem is a clear depiction of a repressive society in which the word “I” is unheard of, and men belong to the collective word “We”. The norms in the society force agreement and sacrifice among all the people in the society. The idea that,“If you are not needed by your brother men, there is no reason for you to burden the earth with your bodies”(Rand 8), has been pushed into the average mindset of the society. The people’s lives are fully controlled by a group that maintains a powerful dictatorship by conquering the public from the beginning of their lives called the “Council of Vocations”. This explicates the objectionable consequences of collectivism that the society has suffered. One of the most obvious features of Anthem is it’s use of language, especially the nonexistence of the word "I”. The use of the language is confusing, but it must be understood if the book's meaning is to be clear. Characters refer to themselves using the first person plural "we" and not the first person singular "I". The use of the plural rather than the singular self-reference, goes to the core of Anthem’s meaning. It is found that Equality 7-2521 is on the path to
Memphis is notoriously known for its shocking poverty rates, which are higher than the poverty rates in Shelby County for every category (2015 Memphis Poverty Fact Sheet), and that is not a good thing. Memphis is also known for its high unemployment rates and its low availability of a skilled workforce (Does Memphis Have a Fighting Chance), and that is not great, either. Finally, it is well known that Memphis has one of the highest crime rates in the country (Memphis TN: Crime Data and Crime Rates), and that just takes the cake. While it is common to focus on these negative aspects about Memphis, it is not a complete description of this multifaceted city. It is my position that there are many positive aspects to Memphis that are overlooked
Chicago is tenacious, (I know that is too big a word but that’s the best one so I am going to use it without apology in true Chicago style.)
Throughout the song “Hall of Fame” by The Script ft Will.I.Am these artists give motivational words to encourage you and let you know to dedicate yourself to whatever you do and believe in yourself, and you could make it to the Hall of Fame. Here’s what this line says “you could be a hero, you could get the gold”, this line right here was one of the most inspiring because I wanna be a hero to little girls for soccer. I want them to know they if they dedicate themselves and believe they can make it wherever it is they choose to go. I wanna inspire and be a hero to a generation just like a generation inspired me. The second part of the line says you could get the gold, when you put those two together you could take the gold for yourself and for
Why Memphis has one of the highest crime rate city in the US? Over the past decade, Memphis has become an attractive city for many tourists around the world to visit. It has historical landmarks related to famous characters such as Elvis Presley. Furthermore, Memphis has one of the top music destinations in the world and the city where many forms of music were established and still being recorded till today. Moreover, Memphis is a good place to live because it has a lot of historical places, incredible foods, cool weather, friendly population, famous characters, and lovely music. All that describe the bright side about this wonderful city. On the other hand, Memphis also has a dark side that we can’t deny or hide it that is the
