     There are two main reasons why I have chosen Summer:  The Way to Highland Park as my essay.  My first reason is I love the city.  In the city there is an essence of the past, marred by the shameful present.  Kazin captures this feeling of the city to the point you can almost smell  the city.  His scents and sights bring this story to life.  This brings me to the other reason I chose this story.  I find Alfred Kazin’s view of the world as refreshing.  I find the world to be a beautiful place and I think Kazin does too.  His mind escapes the ordinary day and floats to another place, a more romantic place.

Upon Passing the police station he is enveloped by the smell of Italian cheese.  The smell of Italian cheese signifies the entrance into the Italian part of town.  Here Kazin reveals he is suspicious of the Italians.  He thinks Italians are Fascists.
     Toward the end of the Italian section of the city was a Catholic reformatory for girls.  He thinks of the reformatory as a prison which supports the hypocritical Catholic religion.  For a reason not mentioned in the essay, Kazin feels uneasy about and contempt toward the catholic religion.
