Coney Island is a fun place for friends and family.

Throgs Neck is a friendly neighborhood for example, if someone was to ask me, “Where do you live?” my response would be “Oh I live near the water, you know right across the bridge next to I.S 192.” Most people seem to know what I am talking about yet most have never been, even if it is just across the Bridge.

In the "Amusing the Million: Coney Island at the Turn of the Century", John F. Kasson writes neatly about the history of Coney Island and explains the effects of this history on the United States of America. What I liked most about the story is the fact that the author gives the reader a good feeling of the island, even if is through literature. As a reader, I was carried away by the story and found myself imagining touring the island. Through reading the story, the reader gets a clear view of the island and can imagine exactly how it looks like.
The clubs may pack in thousands of dancers and twenty something’s, but the boardwalk still commands the real tourism with its booths, games and rides that have been staples here since the turn of the century. The carousel alone has been in the same place since 1932 and is the jewel of only two existing at the Jersey Shore.
The boardwalk is consisted of shops, arcades, and piers of rides. On the boardwalk, you will find adults, teenagers, kids, and even babies trying to have a good time. Also, there are shops located all over the place. Tattoo/piercing parlors, fast food places, curly fry’ booths, ice cream sellers, and even a mall filled with all types of shops. If you’re not into shopping, there are arcades located after every few shops. You can win prizes, spend your money, and get addicted real quickly. Although most people usually walk around, you can also ride the tramcar. The tramcar is a long yellow ride that takes people around the whole boardwalk (which by the way is two miles long!) for a few dollars. Usually, the tramcar can be heard by it’s famous saying, “Watch the tramcar please.” Other then shops and arcades; there are piers full of rides. On each pier their are rides basically for all ages and older people. There are roller coasters with and without loops, log flumes, haunted houses, carousels, mini golf courses, and even bungee jumping. For each pier you can either buy tickets which are pretty expensive, or a bracelet that will let you ride any ride you want to unlimited times.
Although doubling as a gradual and progressive process, Coney Island, according to author John F. Kasson, helped assimilate a “heterogeneous audience into a cohesive whole” (p. 4). Coney Island’s three famous amusement parks -- of such the country had never had before -- was relished in the heyday of a new urban-industrial society donned in genteel elites and a struggling working class.
Everyone lives on the same earth. Everyone has dreams and hopes and fears. In “A Coney Island Life” by James L. Weil, Weil takes us into the mind of a man who doesn’t know how much time he has left. He gives us a wistful interpretation of life where he compares ones dreams and aspirations to the Amusement Park in New York. Weil uses figurative language, imagery, and ultimately the tone of the poem, to express how Coney Island embodies one’s life long journey.
