New York City is unique, vibrant, exciting and a melting pot of cultures and values. But sometimes, living in the Big Apple can lead to twists, turns, and unexpected outcomes.The Big Apple Bites Back portrays life in NYC-the people, neighborhoods, the workplace, dashed dreams, and life on the street.The stories attempt to capture the city's spirit, with tales about how things occasionally go awry and how even the unexpected can enliven life there. When that happens, New Yorkers try to change the situation, go with the flow, or laugh about it and move on.At the very least, The Big Apple Bites Back reveals what it's like to live and work in "The City The Never Sleeps."

From the evil prosthesis of Captain Hook to the comical speech of Porky Pig, images in our culture can become the basis of negative attitudes and subliminal prejudice towards persons with disabilties. This text seeks to provide guidance for teachers in how to recognize and counter this.
