- “I resist any thing better than my own diversity, Breathe the air but leave plenty after me, And am not stuck up, and am in my place.” (Whitman, 16)
When I read that quote it reminds me of the first time I went to The High Line, it was magnificent on how a lot of things happen up there I can see someone who sunbath, converse, just enjoying the view of the river or even just to take pictures of the skyscraper buildings across from it. I can see from one thing to another happen in that spacious area, I can see the diversity because of so many kind of people visit it; surprisingly I do not feel suffocated because of how spacy the place is and there is so many things for me to look at and enjoy, I feel like I’m having my own space amongst the crowd.
- “He made his companions the tiger and the lizard, the wolf and the leopard; he befriended the civet and the deer, and he called the gibbon and baboon his kin.” (Wu Cheng’en, 424)
A quote from “The Journey to the West” that I feel like I can describe about Times Square. Whenever I visit Times Square, I like how the place is. It is the heart of New York; I can say a lot of people want to visit this place. New York City is a diverse city and Times Square is the right place to see it, and the quote tells me that diversity is something important. The more kind of people, the more connection you have with one another without any limitation it will bring you to another level of success that you have never imagined before.
- “I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.” (Whitman,1)
Central Park is the center of peace in the hectic and a crowded city; it is located in the middle of Manhattan, which makes it convenient to be visited by people. I can find my peacefulness in there, I usually read, listening to music or just enjoying the view and the greenness of it. It is so refreshing for me to be able to release all the stress that might occur in my brain and I would not even feel it until I have the time to do so.
