Amtrak’s National Route System interpreted by Edel Rodriguez

The artist Edel Rodriguez used cigar boxes to make his interpretation of the Amtrak’s national route system in his artwork.


“I grew up with the idea of the American Dream,” explains artist Edel Rodriguez, when talking about his interpretation of Amtrak’s national route map for The National. “My family spoke about it constantly. For me, it’s very real.”

Rodriguez has reason to be preoccupied with one of the founding mythologies of America. As a young boy in Cuba, he and his family, in search of a better life, took advantage of the Mariel boatlift – the six-and-a-half-month period in 1980 when Fidel Castro’s government allowed its citizens to immigrate to the United States.

Rodriguez, now in his mid-40s, nods to that immigration story with his use of cigar boxes. “They’re a little illicit and not from this country, and they represent the coexistence of immigrants within the U.S.,” he says, adding that the boxes also evoke memories of the grandfather he left behind, who was a heavy cigar smoker. The red thread he uses for the route lines is a nod to his mother’s occupation as a seamstress.

In nearly every way, Rodriguez has realized his American dream. After another emigration, this time from Miami to Brooklyin’s Pratt Institute in 1990, he quickly made his name as a singularly conceptual illustrator. In 1996, at age 26, he was named Time magazine’s art director for its Latin American and Canadian publications, the youngest in its history. And in 2016, he was named one of AdAge’s 50 Most Creative People and won the American Society of Magazine Editors’ Cover of the Year.

Children and media in the U.S. - Statistics & Facts

Published by Statista Research Department, Mar 24, 2022


   Today’s children don’t know a world without smartphones and the internet. They are growing up in an age where entertainment and information is always at the tip of their fingers. It is no surprise, then, that they spend a considerable amount of their time with technology each day. Television still remains the media of choice among young children, with kids younger than 8 spending 45 minutes watching television each day. Nearly 40 percent of parents report that their child owns a smartphone, and significant percentages have access to television in their rooms.

   The viewing habits of teenagers are somewhat different than those of younger children; an increasing number of teens are watching their television online, through the use of a subscription video-on-demand service.

   In addition to the various digital entertainment sources, reading remains popular as a more traditional source of media and entertainment among children in the United States. As of 2017, 31 percent of parents stated that their child reads or is read to several times per day.

WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER


We all have too much work to do and too little time to do it. Managing your time is a challenge, but the secret is to work smarter not harder.


First, know when to work. When are you most awake? When are you sleepy? Some people work better at night, others first thing in the morning. You should do creative work or complicated work when you are at your best. When you’re not at your best, you should do jobs which don’t need a lot of thinking, like reading emails or calling a colleague.


Second, eat and sleep well to work well. Have you ever had a large lunch and felt so sleepy that you couldn’t think? It’s better to eat small amounts of food several times a day than eat two or three large meals. A large meal at night can have a bad effect on your sleep quality and your ability to think. It’s important to not only get enough sleep but also get good quality sleep.


Exercise is important too. In fact, exercising can make you feel more awake than having a cup of coffee. In addition, exercise makes you feel happier, and happy people work better!


Finally, do the right work at the right time. Certain experts say you should do your most difficult piece of work first. After you’ve finished that, you’ll feel ready to do almost any other job on your to-do list. But other experts say the opposite; they suggest starting with something simple. Doing that will make you feel successful and ready to do your next job.

Answer the question according to the text “My Manhattan”.

 

My Manhattan

 

Today, the island of Manhattan is home to more than 1.5 million people. We live in a place where 23% of the population drive a car noisily (and sometimes dangerously) on the streets. The city is very noisy. In a lot of the open spaces, the noise is loud enough to damage your ears. If people don’t try to change this situation, we will be in a lot of trouble!

 

There are a lot of traffic jams because the only way in and out of Manhattan is either over a bridge or through a tunnel. If people start using public transportation more, the air pollution will get better.

 

The biggest green space in Manhattan is Central Park. It’s 1.317 square miles. This gives people some land where they can exercise and get away from the big concrete buildings. Incredibly, more than 230 different kinds of birds live in Central Park. If you go there early on a summer morning, you’ll hear them singing beautifully in the trees. There are only a few other green spaces in Manhattan. However, there is a plan to plant a million new trees in Manhattan in the next ten years.

 

A few years back, New York City had some of the dirtiest air in the United States. That’s a sad fact. Things are getting a little better now, but if we want clean air in the future, we will need to switch to electric cars.

 

Manhattan is my home, and I want to help fight these problems. If we all fight together, it will be a beautiful place in the future.
