After trying a couple of keywords, I finally found one that interested me. I chose \u201cIn Hartford, A Map To A Better Way Of Life\u201d (Kovner 2012) because it was relevant to the topic I wanted to delve into. The article discusses the conditions of Hartford\u2019s neighborhoods as well as how, and what, people in governmental positions are doing to fix it. I like the article because it pertained to the concept of opportunity and opportunity mapping. The article also points out where opportunity is lacking within these neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>My second source I acquired from doing a search on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/\">www.amazon.com<\/a>. After sampling a few introductions to various books, I found one I particularly liked: <em>Children in the City: Home Neighbourhood and Community <\/em>(Christensen and O\u2019Brian 2002). The book addresses the life of children in modern cities and how growing up in a city is made unique by this experience. Learning about life in a city relates to opportunity mapping as well. It addresses the advantages and disadvantages for children living in a city like Hartford.<\/p>\n<p>A Google search brought me to my next source. Neighborhoods of Hartford, CT (O\u2019Maxfield 2001) provides a great map of the neighborhoods in Hartford. In addition, each neighborhood has a link to its own webpage with pictures and history about the neighborhood. The website is useful because it provides background knowledge for someone who wishes to compare Hartford\u2019s neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>My final source is an article from EBSCOhost. Searching for scholarly articles with the keywords \u201cConnecticut\u201d and \u201cneighborhoods,\u201d I found an article entitled \u201cNeighborhood Diversity, Metropolitan Constraints, and Household Migration\u201d (Crowder et al. 2012). The scholarly article addresses a topic similar to that of the previous three sources I acquired. Interest in learning more about the opportunities found in urban neighborhoods, I thought the article useful because it addresses these topics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Works Cited<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Christensen, Pia, and Margaret O\u2019Brien, eds. <em>Children in the City: Home Neighbourhood and Community<\/em>. 1st ed.
