His first encounter with bigotry and prejudice against people of color, especially those of African descent, occurred as a teenager in Jamaica’s capital of Kingston.

His travels eventually brought him to the United States and, in particular, to Harlem in New York during an era known as the Harlem Renaissance. “The White City” reflects McKay’s internal struggle of both disgust and admiration for his hometown of Harlem as it portrays his resentment towards the “white man’s world” and his love for the life giving essence Harlem provides to him and other people of color.

My primary focus while being immersed in the program would be predominantly in the area of Urban Studies. Chicago is located in a vibrant location full of large communities, the mix of cultures, and is the third largest city in the U.S placing it in an advantageous position to delve into experiential-based social justice work.

Even when it is pitch black out, there will always be some light. A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, is comprised of three books which scream out Dickens’s logic and purpose behind these books. From the opening lines of the book to Sydney Carton’s sacrifice at the end of the book, at the turn of every page Dickens engages the reader to read more and to figure out how all the pieces fit together. Dickens helps by creating parallels to the two cities, Paris and London, characters, and many other key ideas. These connections weave the whole book together and help make the theme pop out at you like a children's pop up book. The moral of A Tale of Two Cities is that everything has a positive side and a negative side to it, no matter how

Typology is the taxonomic classification of characteristics found in buildings and urban places, according to their association with different groups, such as degrees of development, levels of formality, and thought processes. It stands to reason that 2 buildings with the same typology would have more similarities than they would differences. However this is not always the case. More often than not buildings with the same typology can differ greatly. Take for example the Bertram House and the Tubac House. These two buildings are both a house typology however they represent this same typology in varying ways – some ways similar others vastly different. These differences have come about due to many influences such as style, lighting, form, spatial organization, plan of the building, school of thought, separation of private, semi-private and public space, materiality, and focus of the building. This essay aims to theorize how buildings with the same typology can have such massive differences between them.
