10. 36 Hours: Central Park, New York

Central Park is a verdant and flourishing place, where locals and tourists go for pleasure. Depending on the season people are outside sailing on a boat, sunbathing, listening to music or the birds, exercising, and eating ice cream. Central Park was designed by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Olmsted. It is filled with sculptures, monuments, and fountains; it has more than 840 acres. The park also has a castle, a zoo, tennis court, a carousel, countless playgrounds, and croquet greens. Around it are luxurious hotels, horse carriages, museums and much priced apartments. It is a place in the crazy city where people find a more timeless and relaxed Manhattan.

Stephanie Rosenbloom, the author of this article, spent 36 hours or 3 days in the wonderful Central Park. Her article has the purpose to persuade people to go there and to help, specifically tourists, others to make the most out of their time there. Her language, although formal, was able to connect to the reader. Rosenbloom writes a summary for each day that she spent in Central Park; in a way influencing the reader to do the same. Friday is a more historical day, visiting the sculptures, monuments and fountains the park has to offer; also visiting close by museums and at night going a luxurious restaurant. On Saturday, the second day, the author learns to appreciate the nature by listening to the birds throughout the morning, walking around the trees, gardens, wildflowers and water-fountains of the park. After that she goes to a hotel to have a delicious lunch and next to this hotel is an Earth and Science Museum where people can just gaze at the stars. Stephanie then returns to Central Park to watch a concert. And she enjoyed a nightcap at the park with an indoor fireplace to relax during the night. On the last day, a Sunday, Rosenbloom had breakfast on the famous boathouse in Central Park and then went to the zoo to have some fun with the animals. The structure of this article was good and organized and the reader is easily persuaded and convinced to go there through her own experience in Central Park.
