Jacobs frames the sidewalk as a central mechanism in maintaining the order of the city. "This order is all composed of movement and change, and although it is life, not art, we may fancifully call it the art form of the city and liken it to the dance." To Jacobs, the sidewalk is the quotidian stage for an "intricate ballet in which the individual dancers and ensembles all have distinctive parts which miraculously reinforce each other and compose an orderly whole."

The book played a major role in turning public opinion against modernist planners, notably Robert Moses.[7] Robert Caro has cited Jacobs' book as the strongest influence on The Power Broker, his biography of Robert Moses.[citation needed] It also helped slow the rampant redevelopment of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where Jacobs was involved in the campaign to stop the Spadina Expressway.[8]
Hey Thanh!The quotation marks show that the artists think of themselves as high, but the author does not quite agree. The meaning is that these are so-called high artists, or artists who think they are high, but actually might not be. So the quotation marks show that it's the artists who are calling themselves high, and not anyone else.

Richard Parker, a Bengal tiger, is Pi Patel's main companion on a shipwrecked journey from India to Canada. The tiger's intended name was Thirsty. However, due to a misunderstanding in paperwork while being shipped, he ended up taking on the name of his hunter, Richard Parker. The tiger and boy wind up shipwrecked together after the Patel family tries to journey to Canada by ship. After Pi tames the tiger aboard the lifeboat, the two companions rely upon one another for survival until finally washing up to shore. Let's take a closer look at some quotes from the book to get a deeper understanding of Richard Parker's important role in Pi's survival.
In the telling of his survival experience at sea, Pi recounts how Richard Parker was a companion to him. He developed a strong sense of affection for the tiger, and at times, even speaks about the tiger as if it were a human being, as we see in the following quotes:
In order to survive at sea, Pi realizes that he needs the tiger's companionship,and therefore, he must tame Richard Parker. He accomplishes this with fish, a whistle, and the torment of seasickness, which is really bothering the tiger. Here are some quotes related to taming Richard Parker:
After being attacked four times, Pi recalls the training of his father, which stated that tigers 'do not favor violence as a means of settling scores.' From that point on, Pi decided to change his approach, as we see in these quotes:
When the time had come to ward off a deadly hyena and the sudden appearance of carnivorous shipwrecked victim, Richard Parker saved Pi without hesitation, as we see with the following quotes, respectively:

Page 3INTRODUCTION. I HAVE cheerfully consented to prefix a few wordsintroductory to this autobiography. While I haveencouraged its publication, not a sentence has beensubmitted to my examination. From my intimateacquaintance with the subject, because of myconnection with the Peabody and the Slater EducationFunds, I am sure the volume has such a strong claimupon the people that no commendation is needed.
Page 13CHAPTER I.BIRTH AND EARLY CHILDHOOD. Many requests have been made of me to writesomething of the story of my life. Until recently I havenever given much consideration to these requests, for thereason that I have never thought that I had done enoughin the world to warrant anything in the way of anautobiography; and I hope that my life work, by reason ofmy present age, lies more in the future than in the past.My daughter, Portia, said to me, not long ago: "Papa, doyou know that you have never told me much about yourearly life, and your children want to know more aboutyou." Then it came upon me as never before that I oughtto put something about my life in writing for the sake ofmy family, if for no other reason.
Page 53CHAPTER V.THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK AT TUSKEGEE. Before starting for Tuskegee I found it almostimpossible to find the town on any map, and haddifficulty in learning its exact location. I reachedTuskegee about the middle of June, 1881 I found it tobe a town of some 2,000 inhabitants, about half of whomwere Negroes, and located in what is commonly calledthe "Black Belt," that is, the section of the South wherethe Negro race largely outnumbers the white population.The county in which Tuskegee is located is namedMacon. Of Tuskegee and Macon County I prefer toquote the words of Maj. W. W. Screws, the editor ofthe "Montgomery (Alabama) Daily Advertiser," whovisited Tuskegee in 1898, seventeen years after theTuskegee Institute was founded. Maj. Screws says:
I quote from an address made at one of these meetingsby myself: "Our young men have already made two kilnsof bricks, and will make all required for the neededbuilding, Alabama Hall. From the first we have carried outthe plan at Tuskegee of asking help for nothing that we Page 81could do for ourselves. Nothing has been bought that thestudents can produce. The boys have done the painting,made the bricks, the chairs, tables and desks, have built astable, and are now moving the carpenter shop. The girlsdo the entire housekeeping, including the washing, ironingand mending of the boys' clothing. Besides, they makegarments to sell, and give some attention to flowergardening."
Miss Davidson came to the school almost from thevery beginning, she being the next person to come aftermyself. I have spoken in other places of the greatassistance she was in helping to build up the school in itsearly days. As an estimate of her worth and character, Ibeg to quote the words of the Rev. R. C. Bedford, afriend who knew her worth and her great help to me andto Tuskegee. Commenting upon her death Mr.Bedford said:
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal a few days afterthis address was delivered contained an editorialconcerning it. I quote that in full because it is among thefirst editorials from a Southern newspaper concerning myaddresses and the work at Tuskegee, and also because itshows that the efforts put forth at Tuskegee in behalf ofindustrial education for the Negro have had the effect ofawakening not only the Negroes, but even the Southernwhites, to the necessity of more education of this kind.The editorial is as follows:
The papers all over the United States the next dayafter I spoke, and for months afterwards, were filled withthe most complimentary accounts of and comments uponthis speech. I quote a letter written by the Hon. ClarkHowell to the New York World, and an editorial from theBoston Transcript, also two articles from colored papers,as fair samples of the expressions that were madethroughout the country. The letter of Mr. Howell was asfollows:
Soon after receivingthe letter quoted above, I Page 158received a proposition from a lecture bureau in Bostonoffering me at the rate of $200 per night for my lecturesfor as long a time as I would give them my services atthis rate, but I declined. Although I refused to become aprofessional lecturer for personal gain, I did not keepsilent, but continued to work and speak in behalf ofTuskegee. 2ff7e9595c
