New Yorker Work, Reader Inference

   It's no surprise that New Yorkers see themselves as above the cut compared to everyone else. We see our city as one of the (if not the) best city not only in the United States, but globally based on our rich history, cultural superiority, and continuing strives in technology and economics. Yes, we can be seen as rather crude and sarcastic when it comes down to it, but by simply looking at our literature can clearly see a connection between the our past and present way of thinking.

   By simply looking at the title cover, we can view a seemingly classical painting of a pair of dress shoes sitting side by side next to a rather symbolical looking wall paper. In actuality this is not a painting in the traditional sense as it was created in a studio using paints and canvas, but it was created using the new "Brushes" App for the Ipad by renouned painter David Hockney. This point of new technology replacing the old ways of thinking is even more apparent in Hockney's advertisement for the new "The New Yorker" App where his more traditional painting is transfered from the old style of canvas and wet paint to the modern version of electronics and pixels.

   But it is not in just the arts and technology we express our supposide "superiority" among the other areas of the world. This magizine is filled with articles on editorial reviews of novels, poetry, and movies; all of them written from the perspective of the cultural elite of the Big Apple pouring over preformances and documents like an eldery wizard examining some lost texts of old.
