Here is New York p.903
I think White starts off by defining New York by what it isn'tnto gie a visual of what it doesn't look like. So you wont compare New York with other big beautiful places. So that all of the images of the other places an be erased from your mind when you're thinking of New York. The contradiction about what the traveler sees is just like the beginning. Its trying to help you invision whats going on by showing you with words. The traveler is basically seeing New York in the morning when the action begins. The empire and Manhattan seem to be what White thinks contributes to New York's beauty. Some problems in New York areevery pplace is out of order, its either too hot or not hot enough, the sea hits every end of New York, and rats are everywhere, too. But they overcome these problems by unifying as a statte and being unique. They do it by being "cosmopolitian". They're at ease with New York. It's their home. The neighborhoods are all "self sufficient". They all have their own tthings they specify on. They're all dediated to pople of the same needs and wants. This reminds me of downtown Chicago aside from the west, north, east, and south side. The downtown area is fast paste and busy, the north side iss very suburban like. The west and south are the ghettos and the east side is the quiet side of town.
To be Young Black and Gifted
Growing up in Chicag for Hansberry was a regular childhood. She played games, was the irritating younger sibling who the others weren't fond of after age five. When she was sick she was pampered. She looked up to her father. He was very hard working and he held his head in a certain way that made Hansberry "certan that there wa nothing he was afraid of". Her parents instilled the ideas that thy weren't better than anyone but they were superior to everyone. They were taught that they were products and most mistreated races of man. Hansberry, being the youngest, was at first liked by the older kids. Then she became a "pest" bothering thhem with having to take her to the washroom, the movies, and watching her at night. She was the irritating younger sibling who eventually had to learn to play alone because they didnt want to play with her. The racial conflicts of the community and compassionate of the family are represented in the end. The "white neighborhood" they lived in had people mobbed around their house, leaving Hansberry's mom to watch and protect her children. Hansberry's father wasn't there because he was fighting in D.C with the NAACP in a more goverend and political way. In the end her family showed a more compassionate side of them. Their mother showed affection, because she was her childrens' protector. In the end they seemed more family like to me. they seemed more like real people intead of how they appeared in the beginning, stern and conceitd.
The Crucible.
The Crucible was overall an incredible play. The mischevious charactrs, the innocent characters, and the characters who really weren't that important all made the play even more better. I admired Elizabeth for being a strong and loving wife, untill I figured out she remarried soon after his death. She seemed to care for him so much. She stayed with him after his affair with abigail, and even lied to the court for him, even though she was known for being honest. But, I wasn't too fond of her when she didn't convince Proctor to confess and live. I though Paris was a little greedy. He didn't care about others lives, he only cared abouot himself. But then again, if I were in his position i think I may've been looked upon as greedy too. I would've been scared for my life, too. So in so many ways I'm saying I sort of feel like Paris's reasoning for wanting the hangings to be postponed was reasonable. I took pitty on Marry Warren. i felt so bad for when she couldn't faint and then the girls started to act as if Marry Warren was in the form of a bird. I just felt so sad for her, because she wasn't sounding convincing at all. Nothing she did or said was sounding believable, not even to me, the reader, and I knew the truth. I think Danforth wasn't a very good judge, because he killed innocent people and innocent people comply to commiting witch craft. Then he had people like Elizabeth in the court. So from there I knew everything was going down hill. It sort of ended the way I though it would. I knew Elizabeth would somehow ditch the drama, and Proctor would realized he'd been a bad husband. But I never thought it would come to Proctor's death. Overall the play was pretty good, I enjoyed it once I got the plot of the story.
Research paper outline.
Intro:
The Garfield Park Conservatory was built between 1906 and 1907, and designed by Jensen. The Conservatory was perceived as a natural landscape under glass walls and windows. Garfield parks serve its community; it’s for the resident’s enjoyment as well as to educate them on the nature happening around them. It is considered a historic place, which has significant purpose in its community. The Garfield Park Conservatory was built after the demolishing of three smaller conservatories in the West side parks of Chicago. Even though the Garfield Park Conservatory suffered the tragedy of the hail storm and glass damage June 30, 2011, it has still managed to serve its community with all of its exhibits and educational information regarding plants of all sorts.

Act 2 Responce!
Act Two from the play, The Crucible,
brought out the whole truth of Proctor. I finally understood him and Abigail's
affair, and Abigail's reasoning for joining the court. Everything I questioned
was unfolded in ac two. Goody Proctor and John Proctor's conversation told me
everything I needed to know, like how Mary Warren had been serving the court
even after being told not to, and how Abigail was a part of the court, too. In
my eyes Act two brought out the love Elizabeth had for John, while still
conveying her as a concerned and a bit jealous wife. She wanted John to go to
Salem, but John was against it and because of that there was a lot of friction
between Proctor and his wife. But there was also friction because Elizabeth was
questioning John, as if he was still having an affair, and that didn't please
him at all! It actually upset him, but Elizabeth was just being a worried wife,
as I think any other woman would be. But I can very much conclude that they're
still in love and want to get past the affair, because they're both putting up
a fight, which is a sign.

NOTES
1. The Garfield Park Conservatory went through a harsh hailstorm on June 30, 2011. A lot of displays were ruined and the glass from the roofs had fallen. The conservatory is still open, but still in repair, too. And the Conservatory is also raising money, because the damages cost a lot of money. (2)
2. This article is just recommending the Conservatory. There are more than 100 plants in and out of the conservatory. They have a parking space, and the place takes up 400 acres. The conservatory itself is free. And it's a place you can go to to get away from your everyday normal lie. (1)
3. Even though there's been a storm, people say the building looks the same. In the hailstorm most of the conservatory was damaged, but it still consts of a million different pants etc. Even though he storm was epic, it didn't cause much damage to the plants. But because of the storm, the conservatory had to sell some of the plats. In doing that they raised $17,000! (10)
4. Because the building is going under reconstruction some of the popular events have been cancelled. The conservatory has gone through many changes and reconstruction in the past 20 yrs to gain more educational areas. The conservatory was built in 1906 by architects, engineers and landscapers. it is marked as a historical place. The conservatory continues to serve its community and be an education aspect. (10)
5. The Garfield Conservatory has variety or workshops available to the public. They all are to help you become close to nature. Some workshops have gardening demonstrations; while other consists of beekeeping. But all the workshops tie back into the whole purpose of the conservatory, which is to inform you on nature, while giving you a hands on opportunity to learn yourself, and see for yourself. (8)
6. The hailstorm caused over 2 million dollars worth of damage. But the Conservatory is fundraising money to repair the damage done. They’re excepting donations by phone calls, from buying a pane of glass, by calling and by mail. They've also managed to get some of the glass up, but are still in need of help. The plants have to be put up every year in the winter, so they wont die out. The glass shatterings make getting the pants put up an even bigger priority now. (20)
7.)
8. This article is explaining the reopening of the Garfield Park Conservatory’s oldest exhibit, the Fern Room. The Fern room is 103 yrs old, and very special in the history and makings of the Conservatory. After the horrific hail storm, everything got destroyed, but is currently being repaired. There’s a polycarbonate roof protecting the plants when the weather gets hectic and soil being replaced in the Fern room. Visitors are allowed to see the Fern Room being rebuilt and the original walls created by Jens Jensen. (4)
9. Garfield Park Conservatory is controlled by the Chicago Park District. The Chicago Park district directs the Conservatory. They receive their funds through city taxes. The Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance gets money from donors, members, grants, corporations and government sources. The Alliance also gets currency from gift Shop and plant sales. (5)
10. Hailstones the size of large marbles rained down on the Garfield Park Conservatory Thursday night, smashing tens of thousands of window panes that cover three of the giant greenhouses and causing widespread damage to the plants. This historic site — it is closed indefinitely – suffered damage that some say will go into the millions of dollars. The hail shattered 50 percent of the glass panes at the conservatory, and dangerous shards hung precariously overhead on Friday, threatening to crash down. (22)
11. The Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance has partnered with many others to make East Garfield a better community. In 2005, four hundred residents in the community and others joined the Alliance and Council to cultivate a “Quality of Life Plan” for East Garfield Park. This project is still ongoing in hopes of bettering the East Garfield Community, for everyone to enjoy. (6)
12. This article explains the opening of the Elizabeth Moore Genius Children’s garden. The exhibit is made for a child’s perspective. It is for children to understand plants easier. The structure is even made for child viewers to enjoy. It’s built around a giant vine that has a 7ft tall seed, an oversized root coming through the floor, and a giant leaf that projects the process of photosynthesis, and above all a flower that is 6 feet. (7)
13. Dale Chihuly’s, a glass artist, brought his art work to the Garfield Park Conservatory was a great success. The exhibit was named “Chihuly in the Park: A Garden of Glass” and it was a huge thing for the Conservatory. It brought the media and the residents of the community to the peak of the Conservatory. The exhibit had Chihuly’s glasswork and the Conservatory’s plants, conveying both Chihuly’s art and nature. The Chihuly exhibit was well liked and got visitors of all kind. (9)15. Garfield Park’s history goes far back, but the residents are those who make the community. Garfield’s community has been predominantly fulfilled with African Americans for years. Garfield Park is predominantly African American, because in the 1900s immigrants came here to live. By the 1940s African Americans populated 15 percent of the Garfield Park residents. (9)
17. On August 5, 2011 all glass was removed from the roof of the Show House. Plants and soil were also being removed from the room. On October 23rd 2011 polycarbonate sheets were put in place of the glass roof to protect the plants in the winter. On December 2nd 2011 the Show Room re-opened, but it was only a “pass through” between the Palm House and the Horticulture hall. Then on January 22nd2012 The Dessert House and Aroid House were open. And the last repair was April 12th 2012 when the decision was made that final repairs were to happen in the summer of 2012 and 2013. (11)
18.Conceived in 1908 by Prairie School landscape architect Jens Jensen, the Garfield Park Conservatory was considered revolutionary when it opened for the way it presented its plant collection and specifically themed rooms. This class will focus on the history as well as the current and future uses of the conservatory and Garfield Park. It will include a behind-the-scenes tour of the conservatory, surrounding gardens, and production greenhouses. (17)
19. The Garfield Park Conservatory suffered the tragedy of the hailstorm on June 30th. Glass was shattered by the hail and also destroyed some of the exhibits like the Fern Room, Show House, desert house and some greenhouses as well. Mostly everything was covered in glass like the pathways and exhibit room and plants, too. But the glass has now been removed and there is new poly-carbonate roof, just to keep the protection of the plants, and make sure they don’t die out. The conservatory is open to everyone as well as the gardens. All of the repairs are expected to be done by the summer of 2013. (11)
21. In 1954, the aging and deteriorated conservatory glass house was replaced with a welded aluminum frame conservatory that still stands today. At the time that it was constructed, it was the first all-aluminum, all-welded greenhouse in the United States. The straight Art Deco-style lines replaced the curving line styles used in the original 1914 construction. (19)
25. This web-site is an overview of the book Inspired by nature. It explains briefly and thoroughly what the book is about. The book is about the conservatory, and all its accomplishments and well doings for its communities. It describes the nature of the Conservatory. It explains what and why the Conservatory’s purpose is. Overall, the book is just an outlook on the Conservatories ways with nature. (14)
28. Garfield Park Conservatory began its repayments, working to repair widespread damage from June’s hail; carpenters were building wooden shields so workers could safely water the ferns under the shattered glass roofs. The hailstorm broke 23,000 glass panes at the conservatory, half of it over the Fern Room, Desert House and Show House plant rooms in the one hundred year old conservatory. (22)
26.Created in 2012, the Garfield Park Community Council strives to “promote and strengthen opportunities that encourage a vital and engaged Garfield Park neighborhood.” As a former department of the Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance since 2003, the Council has created, developed and implemented an array of program activities and offerings to create a comprehensive approach to improving the quality of life for neighborhood residents in their everyday lives. (16)
27. The Council, over time, has created many activities to better the neighborhood for the people who live therThey’ve created several projects and programs for the residents. The Council itself has done over 40 projects, some of which includes a housing resource center, urban garden network, healthy living programs, year-round after school teen apprenticeship program, and business district development. Everything they do is for the East Garfield community, and its people. (6)
29. Chicago Park District officials are really concerned with the Fern Room, designed by architect Jens Jensen, and its repairs. The Fern room is more than 100 yrs old. “There are thousands of plants in there,” Eisenach said. “Some of those plans are original to the Jens Jensen construction.” It’ll be hard to repair The Fern room and make sure not to destroy Jensen’s original structure. (21)
30. “It does tear at my heart,” Eunita Rushing said. “All I could think of was, this is my baby. I looked at that fern room where we have that significant, historic collection in there, and it just ripped my heart out.” Repairs are estimated to be between 4 and 5 million dollars so far. The Conservatory has stared excepting donations for the repairs. Restoring the Conservatory is going to be a long process, but with the help and funding that the Conservatory is receiving, the process is becoming easier. (21)
32. There are multiple exhibits in the Conservatory. There’s the Palm House which is full of palms, and some other tropical flowers as well. There’s a Fern Room with ferns and an indoor lagoon. The Fern Room also has cycads, too, which is one of the oldest plants in the world. Then there’s Sugar from the Sun which shows you how to get energy from the sun. The Show House is like its name, it shows off all of the season’s best plants and exhibits. The Elizabeth Morse Genius Children’s Garden is basically where children get educated on plants; it’s where everything is broken down for children to understand. (4)
33. Hailstones the size of large marbles rained down on the Garfield Park Conservatory Thursday night, smashing tens of thousands of window panes that cover three of the giant greenhouses and causing widespread damage to the plants. This historic site — it is closed indefinitely – suffered damage that some say will go into the millions of dollars. The hail shattered 50 percent of the glass panes at the conservatory, and dangerous shards hung precariously overhead on Friday, threatening to crash down. (22)
