Soundview Case Study

The most recent census data available for the 10472 zip code area is the 2014 American Community Survey. The 10472 zip code is located in the Soundview section of the South Bronx. This zip code covers the northern area of Soundview, before the Bruckner Expressway. It is part of New York’s 15th congressional district, it’s known for being the smallest and poorest congressional district in the US. The 15th congressional district makes up for the majority of the Bronx, for this reason some of the information presented will be compared to the Bronx borough and 15th congressional district census data.

This town is significant, because it is where most of Arcadia’s early inhabitants came from. Most were people from Lee’s Park that had moved so they could be close to the railroad that was built to run through Arcadia. When Arcadia first became a town, on October 3, 1885, the town shared a school with Lee’s Park. (A View of the Valley 25). As Arcadia’s population grew, the demand for a school within the town itself became a constant demand, and eventually the two towns split the school. As a result, Lee’s Park diminished population-wise and continued spiraling downward until the town was completely gone.

In the audio response script, the character Zara appears as an extremely caring and considerate person to those around her. This is portrayed in the book when Zara opens up to Jamie about how her sister Haley hasn't been coping well with their move from Adelaide. This scene shows that she is an empathetic person and that she finds it difficult to watch her sister struggle. Another scene that represents Zara's characteristics is when she meets Jamie's family for the first time. Upon meeting Jamie's brother, who also has a disability, she was very understanding and accepting of him.

The South Bronx is an area filled with rich culture and unique qualities. For the past 50 years, it has seen many changes from the shift in ethnicity to the rapid growth in the immigrant population. Commonly known as the “Boogie Down”, the South Bronx has had its reputation for being the birthplace of hip-hop. With the widespread increase of Blacks and Hispanics in the community, the South Bronx has moved from Blacks being the minority of Whites being the minority. This ethic is due to numerous factors that will discuss, in order to see why people have chosen to make in and out of the South Bronx neighborhood of Parkchester. A census conducted throughout the past years will emphasize on the numeric values of this change. Additionally, it

The third chapter of Don P. Ester's book, Sound Connections, introduces many systems for teaching pitch and rhythm. The chapter discusses the benefits and disadvantages of the many systems, such as, Ester starts by introducing his idea of the criteria for selecting effective syllable systems. One of his many points is, “The syllables must connect very efficiently with the aural syntax of music, allowing the learner to easily link syllables to patterns before encountering notation.” The next being “The syllables must eventually link to musical symbols in a practical and intuitive manner.” The last being, “The syllables should be appropriate for use with all ages.” Ester also outlines specific guidelines for tonal and rhythmic systems that vary from each other. The most successful systems chosen by Ester meet these criteria points, and are outlined as to why they are the most successful.

In order to gain a better understanding of the difficulties faced by people with hearing loss I wore ear plugs for an entire day in a variety of settings. The hearing loss simulation made relatively simple parts of my day much more difficult and really showed how much hearing loss can impact daily life. As discussed in class the shift from being “able-bodied to disabled”, was quite difficult to cope with.

Sounder is about a poor African American family who lives in a cabin on a plantation. His father is a sharecropper and during the winter work is scarce for him. During those times the father and his coon dog, Sounder, goes out at night to look for food for the family. Every night they return without food and more desperate to find food. One day, the father returns home with a hog he had stolen. The father is arrested. Sounder attacks the Sheriff. The Sheriff shot Sounder causing him to run into the backwoods. The son searched for him but he never found him. One day the boy thought he saw his father in a work camp and got badly hurt. He found a schoolhouse and wandered into it. There he met a teacher that said to him I will move you in and teach

When the Native American tribe sold the island of Manhattan to Peter Minuit of the Dutch West India for some beads and wampum whose equivalent value was less than $30 today, they would not have had imagined that Manhattan became one of the hottest land on earth, from a real estate market standpoint and other kinds of development standpoints as well. Lower Manhattan, also known as downtown Manhattan, encompasses not only the famous financial district that has long been in people’s sweetest dream or darkest nightmare, but also the artsy SoHo, Battery Park City, and one of the first public-private development project—Stuyvesant Town. The rise of the real estate market could be accounted for by a wealth of factors, including population growth,

“I’m sad!” says the person in a happy manner with a huge smile on their face. Now what’s wrong with this sentence? If an individual were sad, they would not be shouting that out, especially not with a smile on their face. So what would need to be changed to make this rhetorical situation make sense? The tone of course, so let’s try this again. “I’m sad…” says the person burying their face in a pillow. Now that’s more like it. In “Issue 3” of Writing Identities, the author states that “Your tone should engage your audience in a way that will invite them to feel receptive to your message.” This meaning, that a person’s tone needs to make sense, it needs to match up with the situation of which

The most significant of the newly constructed transportation network was the Cross-Bronx Expressway, a road cutting through the heart of the Bronx. To make way for this expansive construction project the city employed eminent domain, displacing upwards of 60,000 local residents. Uprooted residents, mainly impoverished African American and Puerto Rican families without enough resources for better housing winded up in the expansive public and subsidized housing of the South Bronx. Once a safe haven for the upwardly mobile first and second-generation immigrants in the prewar era, the Bronx was not always thought of as one of the nation’s poorest slums. The shifting post war economy took its toll on the once thriving manufacturing businesses

The one idea that I found really useful was the use of furniture and blankets to dampen the sound around the microphone. I have a tumbling mat at home that I used, along with blankets, to create a makeshift sound booth. Since I am not always able to record in the same room and for easier portability, I hope to make a smaller setup, the mini sound booth, for my

Question Three: The Sound and the Fury Prompt: Similarities/differences in parallel/recurring events and significance William Faulkner's Sound and the Fury has an idiot, full of sound and fury: Benjamin "Benjy" Compson. Throughout the novel, Benjy continuously moans, each time indicating some form of loss. Benjy illustrates Falkner's theme that idiots who cannot communicate well may be far more perceptive than for which they are credited. Every time Benjy moans, he has realized the loss of something.

David grew up in the Soundview section of the Bronx, which was a middle class neighborhood with mostly Jewish and Italian families.

The provision expresses the rights of the sound maker, i.e. what is not required is implied. The implication is that anybody apart from the marker is prevented by the Act to make reproductions without authority (Craig, 2011, p. 105). On 23rd of June 2015, the rules of regulating sound recordings were modified. The modifications were to the effect that unpublished sound recordings would last for fifty years after fixation. If the sound recordings are published before the copyright expires, the term application is seventy years before its publication or a hundred years from the date of fixation. Consequently, it also extends the copyright for musical performers works contained in the recordings (Craig, 2011, p.226).
