What techniques does Amy Fox use in narrating this conflict story? Who are her sources? What kind of research did she do? What is the arc of this conflict story and where is the nut graf?

Amy Fox narrates her conflict story with many techniques. She uses instances of flashbacks to her grandparent’s recollection of their memories in Stuyvesant Town. Fox also uses real life accounts from her family including her grandmother, grandfather, and even from local residents that lived during that time and who currently live there. Real life accounts definitely gave her story a personal touch. At the same time, she balanced the personal content with research content. She did a bountiful amount of research about the housing in Stuyvesant Town, including researching at the public library. The arc of the story occurs when residents began to protest and stand up for what they believed in, which was standing up for the black residents in the housing units. They wanted the racial tension to stop and instead for people to be integrated no matter what the color of their skin was. Fox does a great job at linking the different parts of her story from the arc, to the flashbacks, and to the current. She also does an excellent job at making her nut graf known, which was the 5th graf, when she links personal and research content perfectly.
