Nothing to say, nothing to do, and nothing to see but people. In this imagery, one notices the description of a small town. One can generalize that those townspeople receive only themselves for entertainment, comfort, or practically anything. Thornton Wilder captures exactly the idea of townspeople in his play Our Town, where he examines three pillars to the lives of a 1900s town, Grover’s Corners, in three acts. First act, he observes the daily life of citizens, with all their familiarity and pleasantries to one another. Second, Wilder captures the pillar of love and marriage with two high-school lovers. Third and last, life’s fragility, timeliness, and flaws from the view of ghosts at a funeral provides interesting takes on the nature of

Baltimore city, home to a wealth of people from all walks of life and how it became the city we know today. Founded by the British during the 1700’s as a port city, Baltimore has a significant historically impact from the American Revolution to the civil war. Originally named for Lord Baltimore of England. The city began its roots on Native American land, which unfortunately pushed the native Americans westward as the city began to grow. Baltimore was chosen as a city settlement as is has one of the most naturally protected harbors in the Americas. The Appalachian mountain range to the west protects the city from eastern moving storm fronts, and the Delmarva peninsula serves to prevent tropical storms or hurricanes

In America, sports are a big deal, but most schools do not have sports because it uses a large amount of their funds and the money can be used for the students education, and other supplies. Amanda Ripley states that “in the spring of 2012, Premont Independent school district in Texas was in trouble, the district had to move the middle school to a high school building and the elementary school hadn’t had a music teacher in years” (10). The author goes to say that, “new bleachers can cost half a million dollars, maintaining a grass field can cost more than $20,000 a year” (11). It shows that people care a lot about sports and those who do get decent grades but without sports students pass more classes, schools can save money, and students have more time to finish their assignments. Clearly, schools have sports but without these programs districts can save money and have extra money to buy school essentials.

this explains my reasoning Because when the story “Should Your School Get Rid of Sports?” starts talking you see two sides a yes and a no meaning there are going to be two sides of the story,.(no we should not) It says this on page 12 “It's 11:30 the night before a big test, and you still have four more chapters to study. You’re exhausted, but you won’t be able to sleep—you’re too jittery. Your fingers tap the desk, and your mind races about what will happen if you fail. Thank goodness you have track tomorrow morning! Practices and meets are the key to your sanity.” (yes we should) it says on page 10 Every year, thousands of teenagers move to the United States from all over the world, for all kinds of reasons. They observe everything in their new country with fresh eyes. One thing consistently surprises them: “Sports are a big deal here,” says Jenny, who moved to the U.S. from South Korea in 2011. Shawnee High, Jenny’s school in New Jersey, has teams in 18 sports. The campus has lush grass fields, six tennis courts, and an athletic Hall of Fame. By contrast, in South Korea, Jenny’s classmates played pickup soccer on a dirt field at lunchtime. If they were in the local newspaper, it was because of their academic achievements, not because they won a game”.i can connect this to my text evidence because Because there are two

For example, because her parents are doctors, she experiences her town differently from many people. She lives outside of the working-class norm, in a neighborhood with less people and larger houses. Her town was also fairly rural and she had to go to other neighboring towns for nearly everything – friends, school, shopping. She mentioned her town as being good for sleeping and spending time with family and not much else. PARENTS WERE ALSO VERY INVOLVED IN THE

I grew up in Eunice, a small town in south central Louisiana. Growing up in Eunice, as with growing up in any town, big or small, had perks as well as disadvantages. Throughout school, many students of Eunice High as well at St. Edmunds, the only two high schools in town, swore that once graduated, they would move as far away from Eunice as possible. This was because Eunice did not offer the excitement or the opportunities that a larger city could offer to a young adult. While this logic may be true to a certain extent, ten years later there aren't many people that I know of that liberated themselves from Eunice, Louisiana that didn't return some years later. Call it small town comradery, call it being home sick, call it what you will but Eunice

Jane parked Trent’s car and climbed out, taking a moment to look around. It wasn’t the best neighborhood in Lawndale. Not bad by any means, but not as nice as Daria’s. It certainly wasn’t where she expected a fashion princess to live. Stacy’s home was average for the neighborhood, a modest two story house painted a soft blue; it was set apart by a beautifully manicured lawn with flowering bushes lining the front of the house and a pair of small, well groomed trees in the yard. It didn’t suit a fashion princess, but it seemed to suit the girl she’d been getting to know the past week. Jane reminded herself again to try not to freak Stacy out and headed up the walk. She knocked on the door and, after a short wait, a woman who looked to

Go back in time think of what it would be like to live in the 70’s, where everything was disco, and women were looked at from a whole new perspective. Within the town of woodsberry there was a little girl named Emily who was 9 years old, but she always felt like she was all grown up. She was a proper girl who always liked to dress-up and wear her mother’s shoes, although there weren’t many shoes, she made do with what she was given. Her mother, Eleina was a 32 year old housewife and her father, Jonah was a 36 year old factory manager. They lived in a 2 bedroom apartment right by main street; one of the busiest streets in the city.

I drove pulling up to a gigantic building, like a warehouse of sorts, colored grey and orange just like the few surrounding building in the complex. As I get out of my car I spot a table about 200 feet from the entrance, and the building decorated with the company logo; Sky High Sports. The logo is a shadow of a person holding what seems to be a dodgeball. As I walk in I’m greeted by an employee sitting behind a computer placed on a large counter. The building is kept incredibly cold sending goosebumps to spread. Over to the left there is a large sign reading “new jumper registration” above an island of four computers. Each computer has the liability waiver loaded up ready to go. I sit down on one of the benches they have on either side
