I am thankful for Brianna Fernandez because she is an awesome friend and is always there when I need someone to talk to. Brianna always has a positive attitude and a beautiful smile to follow it up. She is very funny but real with me all the time and I thank her for that. Being with Brianna is a 24-7 reality check. Ever since I laid eyes on her she changed my life. In many ways Brianna helped me "man up" and I thank her for that too.
When I found out I was going to the same high school as Brianna Fernandez I literally cried with happiness. In a way it was the equivalent to winning a championship. I love Brianna Fernandez and I am so proud, happy, fortunate, and lucky to say I walk the same halls as her everyday. This is why I am so thankful for Brianna.

Here is New York
Whites starts off defining New York by what it isn't to show how bad it is and what it is made up of. White puts a nasty taste in my mouth about New York by talking about people committing suicide and the pedestrians that are walking past only walk faster to get out the way. In a way this shows cold hearted people in New York. A traveler would see mass crowds and get swallowed up by the people that are walking down the street. One of the main problems in New York is the population and how big it is. People maneuver around others and find their own routes to their destination to compensate for the population.
White's idea of neighborhoods as being cities relate to my Chicago experiences because Chicago is the most segregated city in the US because every neighborhood is named after the people that live there. For example, Little Italy, Greek town, Ukrainian Village, and Chinatown are all neighborhoods in Chicago that can be considered as little cities.
An Account of Experiences with discrimination
A community shapes people and their beliefs because that's what they are around and they are influenced by the people in the community. Many people in the south were racist that racism spreaded because others where influenced. Truth went through a lot of racism and after slavery was over people still looked down on African Americans because of the widespread of segregation.
Primary source are experiencing the event first hand. A reporter gets his information from a primary source making the reporter a secondary source. I feel that a primary source is more reliable and is real. In this case, primary document such as letters, journals, and diaries differ from a reporter or short story in the perspective they give on a community by the primary source living in the community and the reporter being an outsider.
