626 Night Market Mania
Setting
The 626 Night Market is an iconic Asian themed night market hosted at the Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia, CA. It takes inspiration from the popular night markets in Asia. During my visit at 4:30 pm to the event on a scorching summer day on Friday September 4, 2015, myself and other were desperate to find shade and were fanning ourselves with napkins to

There were over 200 food, merchandise, arts, and entertainment attractions. There were all different types of foods from fusions of cultures, such as American-Taiwanese, Japanese-Mexican, Indonesian-American, Hawaiian Mexican etc. Such food innovations that fused two or more cultures together to produce iconic delicacies, were the ramen burger, fluff ice, lobster rolls, sushi burritos, etc. I could see dozens of lamb skewers being thrown onto the grill and seasoned heavily with salt and pepper, the aroma made my mouth water and strengthened my

Through my observation I noticed that there were people from all different zip codes that travelled all the way here to experience the 626 Night Market. There were locals but the event also drew crowds from Northern California and the Central Valley. Ultimately, the 626 Night Market was an event that drew large numbers of visitors and vendors to one safe and sacred place that was busy with commerce due to the variety and availability of innovative food
Rachel Perkins hybrid musical drama One Night the Moon set in the 1930’s Australian outback and Malala Yousafzai’s ‘speech to the UN’ in 2013 were composed to raise awareness and reveal truths of multiple perspectives, representing the voice of the unheard and disempowered in juxtaposition to the dominant and powerful. Both Perkins and Yousafzai challenge societal expectations of their context, advocating for all voices to be heard and for the potential unity between cultures and races through education and shifts in paradigm.
“Those to work in the field are always tired. Always caved in with work.” This quote comes from the novel Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen. Many sources can corroborate this novel on facts such as slaves being prevented from learning, being treated harshly, and being withheld of information about their parents.

The Chinatown neighborhood has different restaurants, including a Korean and numerous Chinese restaurants. The Chinatown neighborhood has many gift stores, cosmetics stores, ice cream stores, and bakery. As Harry Kiang’s Chicago’s Chinatown points out, “Tourists shop for oriental gifts or groceries or enjoy Chinese food; along Wentworth Avenue between 22nd and 24th Streets there are at least 30 Chinese restaurants. Printers and bakeries are found in the commercial areas along Wentworth Avenue and Cermak Road” (Encyclopedia of Chicago). Many visitors came to the Chinatown neighborhood to visit the neighborhood and try the Chinese foods because it has the authentic Chinese food in the Chinese restaurants. Since many people came to the Chinatown and consumed in the neighborhood’s shops, the consumption promoted the local commercial development and increasing the economic growth. Therefore, the residents are very happy to have the shops and appeal to the

Usually, every story has a powerful ending that will keep the reader wondering, most likely in a good way, leaving the reader satisfied with the ending. Night does not follow the pattern. Elie didn’t want to end a sad story in a happy way, he wanted to end it the way it actually happened. It ends with the metaphor that will send a shiver down the readers spine. The story ends, “One day when I was able to get up, I decided to look at myself in the mirror on the opposite wall. I had not seen myself since the ghetto. From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look on his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me.” By ending the story this way, the reader finally realizes the horrible consequences of the Holocaust and the effects it had on Jewish people. Through neglect, malnutrition, and beatings, people had lost the feeling of life and turned into walking corpses, separated from their former selves. Many people weren’t even recognizable after the Holocaust, even by their own family.
During the 1940’s, the world found itself dealing with World War II and in the United States ,a huge African culture movement swept throughout the north-eastern states. One specific artist that captivated the “Nightlife” of African Americans during that era was Archibald Motley Jr. He painted a series of paintings that involved African Americans and their culture. In the painting, “Nightlife” we see a group of African Americans dancing at a club/bar, enjoying life, and swaying their hips to the music. Perhaps, in this painting, Motley wanted his public to notice the breakthrough, blacks had during the 1940’s and wanted to show how music took their mind on a different stroll apart from the troubling issues the world was dealing with. Archibald wanted the world to notice the dynamic and exciting Negro culture.

First I went to Food City, which I’ve never gone into. When you first pull up into the plaza there are a fair amount of cars around with shopping carts spread out. The building and sign were plain and didn’t pop out. Once I walked up to the door I saw that a lot of the signs were either written or translated in Spanish. The store wasn’t very clean, due to the dirty floors and poor lighting gave it a yellow tint. The shelves were stocked to the point of overflowing, which didn’t seem organized. During this time of day there were a large amount of people shopping around the store, each isle had a couple people browsing. The store had employees walking around and could easily approached. All of the workers spoke Spanish in order to easily communicate

That 's the taste that probably brought most of us out-of-towners here a taste for something new and different you can rarely get anywhere else.
