symbols in this book are very highly developed and have a lot to do with the development of Holden's character and also explain how he feels about certain things in his life. The three most important symbols in this book are ducks in the pond in Central Park, the speech and discussion about digression at Mr. Antolini's house, and, of course, the symbolism behind the title, the catcher in the rye. The following will be an in-depth analysis of the symbolism behind the book, the Catcher in the Rye. The
architecture has been around since the beginning of time, but it was not until Frederick Law Olmsted came along that the idea of integrating design into the landscape with plants, water, and structures turned into a profession. Not only did Olmsted work on parks and college campuses, but also insane asylums. There are seven different design principles, which Olmsted incorporated into his projects that start with the letter S: scenery, suitability, style, subordination, separation, sanitation, and service

On page 60, Holden asks, "You know those ducks in that lagoon right near Central Park South? That little lake?

country, an outdoor recreation area or what is usually called a park; and I am seldom disappointed. No matter how new and unfinished a town may be, or however old and poor, I know that it will contain, wedged in among the crowded blocks of buildings, a rectangular space with grass and trees and meandering paths and perhaps a bandstand or a flagpole. --John B. Jackson, “The Past and Future Park” in Denatured Visions Urban parks are defined in their comparative and contrastive relationships to
constantly today. In South Park’s situation, the writers use logic and evidence to express their opinions on controversial issues, and people think that it should be censored. Just because the show uses morally questionable techniques, does not mean that it is useless. In fact, South Park has taught people a lot; it changes our point of view and encourages us to think deeply about the issues at hand while simultaneously making us laugh. For people unfamiliar with South Park, it is an animated comedy
South Park as Parody of Society South Park began airing in 1997. The commercials that preceded it gave the impression of it being another stupid cartoon; however, when I began watching, I realized important issues were being covered through the repeated behaviors and actions of its characters, through the influences these actions could have on the viewers, through the reinforcement and rejections of certain stereotypes, through the long-term effects that could result from watching the program
wanted to make a park, but they needed land from Seneca Village. The government exercised their 5th amendment right which allowed the government to take your land, for a fair wage, as long as it was for the good of all people. Residents were offered $2,335 for their property. On October 1, 1857, city officials in New York reported that the last holdouts living on land that was to become Central Park had been removed. With the village gone, city officials were free to create Central

buildings, parks, cars, and people. Even though the basic elements of cities are the same they all still have there own unique character. I think one of the most distinguishing factors of cities is how they were designed to accommodate certain needs of their inhabitants outside of where they live or work. Cities can easily be overwhelming or a harsh place to live, which is why certain areas need to be set aside to offer some kind of escape. In addition to being a place to withdraw, parks and recreational
him create much bigger ones in the future such as wrapping of the Reichstag. The reason that Christo said he liked to wrap bigger things was because lets say every day you walk past a certain park. You know where it is and that is there you sometimes even notice different people. But if asked to draw sai park you would not have any idea how to draw it in detail. So Christo wraps things in order to give them a new identity and let people try to remember how it looks and gives them a reason to try and

The show South Park was first aired in August of 1997, and was similar to shows like Family Guy or The Simpsons in terms of pushing the limits of acceptable television to gain their audience. Since its creation the show is still infamous for its crude humor, vulgar language, and suggestive dialogue. Episode 2 of season 19 is the perfect example of the creators mixing satire and irony to give the audience a clear yet humorous view on immigration in America today. The episode I analyzed was Episode
Eric Theodore Cartman is a fictional cartoon character in the second longest running cartoon ever made; “South Park”. Eric is a cynical, overweight child that often assumes the position of an antagonist in episodes, demonstrating that he will stop at no costs to get what he wants, even if it means intentionally harming his “friends”. Eric lives with his mother in South Park and has never had a relationship with his father or even met him. It was established in season two that Cartman’s mother, Liane
South Park employs satire to marginalize and conceal controversial undertones in their cartoons. This gives the audience the notion that it is purely an offensive show about bad-mouthed young boys and their out of proportions antics, without giving a second glance at the conveyed meaning, if any. This essay aims to dissect ideologies challenged in South Park using various episodes as examples. Particularly focusing on three episodes, all of which carry a different tone and meaning. Analyzing their

South Park is widely regarded as a contentious television program, but the season thirteen episode “The F Word” “was remarkable for breaking with the usual satirical format and proposing serious arguments for reconstructing the language we use to describe homosexuality” (Schulzke, 2012, p. 24). In his article on South Park, Schulzke argues that one of the show’s few unambiguous social positions is its stance on equal treatment for homosexuals, and that this specific episode makes a credible case
