Portfolio essay
New Orleans is a place that I would like to put if on my profile place. So, I got to the city of New Orleans - New York, Chicago, the cities of the American West Coast, and the amazing national parks of the states of Utah, Arizona and Nevada were left behind - it's time to finally “slow down”. The state of Louisiana is known for its light-minded attitude to life, to then jerk with new forces in Miami and further along the East Coast of the USA (Atkinson 91) . I loved the places like Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon riding at my car with Hassan.
The climate in New Orleans is tropical, in the middle of October, plus 30, which is not surprising, since the city is located on the latitude of Florida, almost on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico. After the cold weather on the heights of Arizona and Utah, it was very pleasant to wander in shorts and bask in the sun. The abundance of drunken citizens with bottles in their hands is striking (New Orleans is one of the few cities in America where open drinking on the streets is not punishable (Storey1). In addition, the distinct smell of grass was repeatedly felt.
In addition to alcohol, New Orleans is a city of jazz, Mardi Gras carnival and blacks: According to statistics, as of 2013, African Americans made up 58.9% of the total population. Immediately after Hurricane Katrina, demographers predicted dramatic changes in the structure of the city’s population: according to their data, after eliminating the effects of the disaster, only 30% of the evacuees returned to New Orleans; the lion's share of those who returned are wealthy whites - the blacks simply do not have the money to start all over again and they are forced to live where the authorities have evacuated them. (Mansfeld, Yoel, and Abraham 271).
