In Brett Anderson’s review of the upscale New Orleans restaurant, Brennan’s, he explains his opinion of what it takes to be one of the top 10 restaurants in the city. Since the recent renovations Brennan’s has undergone, Anderson believes that it has saved itself from going out of business. He clearly states that he loved the restaurant by calling it “an exuberant, sprawling pleasure palace that is dead serious about its culinary mission.” His reasoning for stating this was that he believed the food was good as he explained how the head chef “restored the historic restaurant’s reputation for culinary excellence.” Another reason he loved the restaurant was for the atmosphere to which he noted at the beginning of the reviewing saying it was because of the

Her cow kicked it over, then winked her eye and said, ‘There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight!’ (Abbott)” In 1871, a disaster arose in Chicago and reshaped the city permanently: a fire scorched around three square miles of land, leveled thousands of buildings, and stole hundreds of lives (“Chicago Fire of 1871”).

Everyone is raised differently from the minute they are born. These differences range from small to extreme actions.

The Chicago Metropolitan Area has an unfortunate reputation for being dangerous, particularly in certain regions of the city, such as the south side and the west side. Generally, crime rates can be explained by a number of factors, such as education, income, politics, and more; however, explaining how those factors have come to be and how they influence the safety of a city can be a bit more complex. When examining both historical and modern policies, it becomes possible to discover the correlation between these policies and the factors such as education and income that can be seen influencing crime rates in modern cities. To break this down further, the West Chicago neighborhood, West Garfield Park, will be examined to see if a correlation
Barn Burning is a modern story that shows a theme, plot, characters and uses narrative techniques. The title of the story, “Barn Burning,” is used to identify the main method carried out by the father in the story, Abner to get revenge on the people he grew angry with for their treatment of black people in the south. The story does not give a number of the barns Abner had burned, but Sarty said they had moved a lot of different times indicating the moves were due to Abner destroying the property of others. Abner seemed to have a sickness or craving for burning property; this seemed his way of regaining his dignity or self-respect after feeling he was wronged by the evil, hate, and racism of southern society. Abner kept burning fuel handy and had containers to refill when it was time to burn another barn and caused destruction, but when it was time to keep his family warm in the cold outdoors, he would only build small fires.
Chicago in the late 1960s and the early 1970s was filled with construction and saw dust. The First National Bank, the Chase Tower on Daley Plaza was finished in 1969.

Dunn Sidni Dunn Hensley English 11/ Fourth Period 27 February 2018 Part 12:Rough Draft In Barn Burning William Faulkner uses very many themes to show the emotions of these characters and how they felt.

In two southern short stories “Barn Burning” by William Faulkner, and “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston, the main characters resolve conflicts in an ironic manner.
