Compare and Contrast Final Draft
Samantha Deal As a military brat, I was born and raised in Jacksonville, North Carolina; and have lived here for most of my life. Recently our family was stationed in San Diego, California, and the move was a great eye-opener for me. When I moved to San Diego, I was surprised by the diversity of cultures, the abundance of activities, and how the crowds of people never stopped. It is an excellent place for people who enjoy being amongst other people; there is never a lack of entertainment day or night. Jacksonville, North Carolina on the other hand, is more for people who like a relaxed and quiet family oriented lifestyle. The city of Jacksonville, and Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base are home to 170,000 Marines, Sailors, retirees, and civilians. There are plenty of things to do in Jacksonville, the only problem is you have to look for them. For example, on the Jacksonville website, there are seafood festivals to attend, crab boils, and beach events among other things. We have deep sea fishing for blue marlin with a top prize of $1,000,000 which attracts people from all over the country. People can join the “Clean and Green Jacksonville initiative” which entails improving, and maintaining the parks, roadways, and landscapes. Also, the Sturgeon City Institute is focused on bringing back the endangered Sturgeon to the New River. In addition, Rails and Trails, it is a jogging and biking path that starts downtown and ends at Camp Lejeune; and
I am originally from a small city in the middle of Florida named Ocala. It is a family friendly city locate approximately an hour away from the beach both on the East or the West side of Florida. I spent my first eight years growing up playing on the beaches, catching lizards, and going over to friend's houses. Ocala has a strong sense of Southern hospitality and the mindset that you should always help your neighbors. Growing up in this community taught me a lot about being polite to your elders, caring about everyone, to listen the first time, and how to cook some of the best cobbler ever. I'm very proud of being raised with Southern mannerisms that set me apart for the current trend of people who only thinking about themselves. I'm thankful
I am from Coral Springs, Florida. I am just assuming that you do not know where Coral Springs is because it is not a main, huge, famous city and you probably are not familiar with the South Florida area. Coral Springs is about 25 minutes in a car to Fort Lauderdale, and is about 35 minutes in a car to Miami, perhaps more famous and familiar cities that you may know. I have lived in the same house in Coral Springs ever since I moved there from Colorado when I was only a few months old. I love where I live and I love having my friends and family nearby, but I wanted a change.
Jacksonville is Florida’s booming, northeast gateway. Recent financial and real-estate reports have rated it as a top place to move to, and as a great market for real estate investors. It sits at the intersection of two major interstates — 95 and 10 — where the St. John’s River, a major transportation and recreational hub, empties into the Atlantic Ocean. As such, Jacksonville also is home to a major port and a major U.S. Naval base. Twenty-two miles of beaches, several professional sports teams, an active, outdoor lifestyle and burgeoning job markets mean Jacksonville and its surrounding communities are prime relocation and retirement options.
There are many beautiful places around the world to live, choosing one is a very difficult decision. There is also a lot of different countries but the United States is where I will stay, even in America, though, there is such a variety of places to live. Savannah, Georgia has caught my eye in many ways but I don’t know if I could ever leave small town Iowa, like Mason City. While considering these two places, I know that there are a few things that I have to keep in mind such as the job outlook, cost of living, things to do, and one of the most important, weather.
“Should the United State of America adopt the idea that every American citizen should serve at least 2 years in the military?”, in my opinion, this is a terrible idea. America is “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”. Going into the military should be a personal choice.What would this benefit anyways? This is, in my opinion, a bad idea, this would change the course of America’s history as we know it.
Type your answer in this box. Ever since I moved from San Jose I knew my life would change forever. I moved to Temecula California only for a temporary time. We stayed with my moms friends for a while, her name was Vhergie, she was a kind person, she has 3 little kids and a boyfriend. The first couple of weeks were pretty good, I got the know the kids a bit more, talk to auntie Vhergie, and even her boyfriend Czar. We got to know the place of Temecula very well and adapted to it.
The great establishers of the country of the United States of America had issued a draft, a draft that is still in writing, but is not used; even though when every man turns eighteen he must register. The draft for the young men of the United States has not been used since Vietnam. This is because of the effects this left on the next generation of America, and also because of how citizens acted towards the government. Many soldiers tried to fail the physical test, and some even ran away to the country of Canada, never to return because if they did, they would be thrown in jail. When the soldiers who obeyed returned home, they were disgraced and shamed, even though hardly any went because they chose too. Lately, America has been in a war that is still occurring. Even though our military is at a stable rate, and has full resources, I still believe that the draft be reinstated, but with new terms. I believe that the new terms for the draft should give the draftees a
David O’Sullivan, from Yonkers NY, brought up some positive things about living in New York City. He talked about the very social environment. “I moved from there to Morehead, KY and it is totally opposite. I like clubs, bowling alleys, a choice of a million restaurants to eat at, and places to hang out, which are the things New York City has.” David also brought up the point that you do not have to own a car in the city. He took the subway everywhere, and got around much faster than compared to dealing with
This pamphlet has been created to help you understand why the draft should be brought back in today's society.
San Diego is a nice place to live because of the great weather year round, an abundance of job opportunities, access to healthcare, and
The Souths that I fit more into are Athens and Savannah, probably because of the people and the atmosphere. For some reason, some students always love to bring up “community” and how it works so great in these small towns. Well, I hate to break it to them, but this community they are so fond of is full of what my coworker Savanah, a Blue Ridge native, calls, “People who want to get in your business and then stab you in the back. Don’t trust a lot of people here because they are fake.” The communities in Athens and in Savannah might not be as small as Blue Ridge, but the people manage to be friendly and are not nosy when it comes to your life. Not all my encounters with people here have been negative. I’ve made friends here and enjoy them, but they definitely are not like some of my classmates. What captivates me in this Blue Ridge South is the nature. It’s my favorite part of this place and it always will be because I sense that I am whole in it.
Some may call Woodbine, the town in Camden that literally has nothing.Yet now living in a city with a stop light around every corner and traffic like Jacksonville during rush hour I tend to miss the middle nowhere. I would literally give anything to be back in this beautiful city every time that 5 o 'clock rush hits in Valdosta. In "da bine" we never had to worry too much about locking our doors or much crime. To this day you will always see everybody at the dollar
I chose these two states to compare because they are the states I have lived in throughout my life and are significant to me. I was born in Wilmington, North Carolina and lived there until I was 10 years old. My step-father received a job offer in Islamorada, Florida and we decided to move. I lived there until I graduated high school, following which I came to Orlando to go to college.
Hola fellow classmates. I am Michelle and look forward to working with all of you over the next 8 weeks. My area of study is in accounting and delighted to finally learn Spanish. I currently reside in gloomy Ohio and look forward to moving south after my daughter finishes this year of school. Learning the Spanish language is going to be truly helpful in communicating once I move to Florida. Unfortunately, I cannot recall a time that I have experienced a different cultural introduction. Now that I must think about the people that I have encountered in my life, and the greetings that I have had with them, they all seemed to have used the standard introduction of shaking hands. Greetings to my family and friends is a hug and kiss on the
To conclude, sunshine state has a lot of advantages that attract people to go and live in it. And I highly recommend people to live there because of the beautiful nature that puts people’s minds in peace, the friendly people who live in it, and the good living standards that Florida provides for its
