I have two big questions. First, I am wondering if Luke will attempt to kill Jouvert. I do think that it would be possible for Luke to kill Jouvert. Luke wants revenge on Jouvert because he told agents to attack his family, killing his parents. Also, Aveline overheard Streicker helping Luke plan to assassinate Jouvert. However, Avie did not approve of this in the slightest. She wanted to take Jouvert away from power too, but not murder him. She also could not bear to lose Luke, but he was ready…
our great city. But there are still millions of people that work in our amazing city. The Long Island Rail Road, commonly referred to by acronym, LIRR is the ultimate thread that provides great transportation from the suburban Island to the urban Manhattan. A travel on the LIRR takes anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to get to the city, but is beats the hell out of driving with that traffic that accompanies every day’s rush hour at the countries most populated city. People take the subway in…
I’m sure that some of you sitting in the audience would agree with me when I say East New York, Brooklyn has changed tremendously. There used to be a time when the streets in this neighborhood felt safe. Random shootings, robbery and rapes was nonexistent. You could send your kids outside to play feeling positive that they would return unharmed. At any time of the night, sitting on the stoops of your home enjoying the night time breeze and the sound of kids playing, having fun was a thing of…
She fought to hold the bagel she’d had for breakfast down as she observed the businessmen and women in their expensive clothes rush in and out of the offices. The atmosphere here was busy and fast paced. Discouraged, she second-guessed herself now as she hid behind her dark, long, wavy tresses and realized she didn’t belong here. The positive attitude that helped push her through the front door and make it to the receptionist was fading fast. Despite her reservations, she was determined to break…
From the time one sets foot in New York City everything feels different, the atmosphere, the people, the scenery. New York is a whole other world set apart from the real world. It is seen as the place to be in order to conquer dreams. The place where one goes to “make it big.” It is a symbol of freedom, history, and entertainment. While I was in New York I gained an insight into just how free and beautiful our country really is. It truly changes a person and their appreciation for society.…
Being originally from Washington, D.C., I spent my childhood riding the subway with my parents from the city to the suburbs. We would pick up our car at the local park-and-ride down the street from our home, and then repeat the same process the next day. During the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, because of the subway, my parents had quick and easy access to my daycare center. With the said, according to the Department of Transportation, statistical data revealed that from…
As a child growing up I loved my neighborhood, it was a place where everybody knew everybody. I lived only a few buildings away from Yankee Stadium. The streets seemed to be crime free and everyone got along. I remember playing double Dutch with my friends, my older cousins picking me up from the school bus and playing in Ms Rays bushes. I never witness or heard of any crimes growing up in my neighborhood I guess it’s because my mother kept me away from it all, but that all changed with time. As…

a great place if they ever finish it.” Of course this city will never be finished. Instead of resting on its history, it always reaches for the new. In 2002, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation launched a competition to develop a new center after the 9/11 terrorist attack. Daniel Libeskind’s 2003 design, “Memory Foundations,” won the commission. Liebeskind’s architectural plan for a new World Trade Center called for a 1,776 foot high tower with 7.5 million square feet of office space,…
