A Moment In The City Nicolas Rodriguez

           Mumford’s What is a City, and Man of the Crowd by Poe both exemplify two different interpretations of the city. What is a City describes and portrays life in the citty when the concept was first starting out. It basically portrays how it is not everyones ideal and how chaotic it can be. Man of the Crowd focuses more on the type of people there are and the different streets. Poe defines city life as a place where there are lots of variety. From my experience city life can be a positive or a negative thing. The city isn’t perfect and still has flaws however it is an experience worth having. The city is crowded and often there will be people who are not others might expect there to be. The attractions and landmarks in the city offer a time of amusment and relaxation. The city portrays both negative and positve aspects and are both required to make life in the city what it is.
