not everything disappears forever just like Holden believes in. However, this idea is not what Whitehead experiences when he sees New York. He establishes the point that no matter how much one tries, “Go back to your haunts in your old neighborhoods and…you find: they remain and have disappeared” (Whitehead 1026). In fact, Whitehead clearly accepts the fact that New York is constantly changing, unlike Holden who denies change. For example, Holden even admits that he can live a life with the same…

I imagined my first experiences in the city that never sleeps to be something Carrie Bradshaw would write about and Serena Van Der Woodsen would be proud of. I pictured myself hailing taxis by doing that cool whistling thing with my fingers and eating at restaurants with only the finest of cuisines. I dreamed about strutting down Madison…

When I began reading Jonathan Kozol’s Amazing Grace (1995), I was struck by a quotation early on that described the South Bronx area of New York City he would further explore throughout the book: The houses in which these children live, two thirds of which are owned by the City of New York, are often as squalid as the houses of the poorest children I have visited in rural Mississippi, but there is none of the greenness and the healing sweetness of the Mississippi countryside outside their…
