Tammany Hall Political Machines
1,853 words
During the 19 th century there was a rapid growth
of American cities due to immigration and
migration from rural areas. This rise in the
population created enormous problems for city
governments, which were often unable to provide
for the people and lacked any type of structure.
In these conditions we begin to see the emergence
of political machines, such as Tammany Hall in New
York City. These groups were able to build a loyal
voter following, especially among immigrant
groups, by performing su...

To answer the question whether or not Willy
Russell actually wrote a love story as he intended
to do, I consider certain aspects. I find two

Rita and therefore will be dealing with completely
different ways of behaviour and reaction. By
interpreting their statements and actions it might

Rita does not seem to be a love story in a common
sense. Nevertheless...
