I walked form Wall Street to The World Trade Center. The walk was very interesting for me because when I was walking this time, I actually tried paying attention to every sensory detail I could. This made the area around Wall Street alone extremely populated and made it feel extremely large. In addition, upon looking around, I found all different kinds of people around. Upon walking up from the station, I saw several businessmen and people doing work, however, exploring further, I saw several other kinds of people from completely different parts of the world. In particular, around the bull statue, there was an incredible amount tourists. I then walked towards a giant stone building, which had two statues on each side. These statues were gigantic and around them were information plaques. I walked down Wall Street slowly coming to an area that actually had quite a bit more nature around it. It provided a nice contrast to the area I saw earlier at Wall Street which was almost completely dominated by buildings. In this area, as I was walking there were actually people who were having fun, for example, I saw a few kids doing skateboarding and this area was far less crowded, in contrast to the area I’d literally just passed, which was practically filled to the brim. I continued on towards the World Trade Center, and just stood by it for a few minutes, taking in the scale of the gigantic building, and then I went into the station and left. What I discovered was quite interesting, I discovered that anyone from any part of New York can be seen as commonplace in any area of the city. Even in this strict business district, there were children playing, despite the success we associate with Wall Street, there were still people who were poor and looking for help, and overall, this really played on how I saw New York City, I saw that there were people who had chances, but those who didn’t take advantage of those chances ended up losing their whole living in the process.
