Leading to another story “Here is New York”, E.B White’s view on the story displays how the city is full of gifts of opportunity such as privacy and loneliness but with these many gifts, there is no true definition to describe the city. I agree with E.B White’s view of New York, there can be a different definition depending on who you are and what you desire in this city that never sleeps, there can never be a settled meaning. In “Kickflipping New York”, Akiko Busch starts off with how New York as a “carnival teeming with illicit possibilities” when she arrived to

The 1950's consisted of rapid changes for almost all populations. Rural areas started to become vacant while cities were over populated, and suburbs became the primary way of life. During this time, New Orleans upheld America's idealistic image of a "melting-pot." According to history today, a melting pot is a "location in which a variety of cultures, theories, styles and people are mixed into one. " Diversity was widespread during New Orleans in the 1950's where majority of the population were of European and African descent.
In a terrifying dystopia, “People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think” (Huxley 1). Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, shows the starkness of a world where uniformity is paramount and diversity is despised as the root of instability. No one thinks for themselves, but instead they simple echo what they have been programmed to say. Every person is bred to act and think the same as others in their social class. Diversity is shunned along with old world beliefs and conservative morals.
