The audience of the essay are the New Yorkers not only because Russel Baker is a resident of New York City and a writer of "The New York Times," but because it focuses on the New Yorkers' negative habits and New York's negative characteristics. New York who prides itself to be one of the world's leading cities. The Big Apple, is not a paradise after all. It has traded off so much of itself to achieve its present status.

Paragraphs two to four talks of hysteria in New York and courtesy in Toronto. paragraphs five to seven deals with the taxi system. eight is about noise in New York in contrast to Toronto's peace and order. ten and eleven is about garbage and dogs. and twelve to sixteen talks about vandalism.

It was good to get back to the Big Apple. My coat pocket was bulging with candy wrappers from Toronto and - such is the lingering power of Toronto - it took me two or three hours back in New York before it seemed natural again to toss them into the street (par.17).

The first paragraph containing the thesis statement rendered in irony readily attracts the audience to read further. It is an effective bait for the reader to keep on reading and taking in all that the writer has to give.

Thesis Statement

The thesis statement is found right at the beginning of the essay in the first paragraph that talks about the comparison and contrast of the cities of New York and Toronto:

Having heard that Toronto was becoming one of the continent's noblest cities, we flew from New York to investigate.

The next sentence provides a clearer view of what to expect in the following paragraphs:

New Yorkers jealous of their city's reputation and concerned about challenges to its stature have little to worry about.

The first paragraph containing the thesis statement rendered in irony readily attracts the audience to read further. It is an effective bait for the reader to keep on reading and taking in all that the writer has to give.

Subtly the reader is carried away and finds himself/herself affected if not convinced by the writer's intent and line of thinking.

Paragraph Organization

The paragraphs are effectively organized that the idea presented is clearly explained and elaborated. In this way, each paragraph is as important and effective as the others that removing any one of them would destroy the effect and beauty of the whole thing. Everything is at the right place.

Baker masterfully weaved the topics and details together like starting off with courtesy (pars. 1-4) and connecting it to the taxi system (pars. 5-7) followed by peace and order (par. 8).
