My Happy Place At Paris Texas

While Mrs. Cole has been on many adventures around the world, her childhood adventure never went past the borders of her hometown. Mrs. Cole’s life began in a farming community in North Anson County. She lived about three and a half miles from the eighty-seven student school and all of her needs were met with in the borders of her town. Mrs. Cole mentioned that luxury was not part of the daily life of her small farm community; only two students drove cars to her high school but that was due to necessity, since they had jobs at a mill after school. Remembering very little traffic, she reminisced that the town had one stoplight during her early

The film Friday Night Lights, released in 2004, provides a visual representation depicting the sources of pride and success for a small Texas town. Odessa, Texas is where the film takes place, and its unique values and culture is what enables the town to be so infatuated to a high school football team. When the camera pans the city of Odessa throughout the film, it is clear that the town does not have much to brag about. The town contains family diners and small businesses, showing the small stature of the town; however, these same images provide a sense of closeness between the community. Due to the fact that Odessa may not be considered a “vacation spot”, the community collectively bonds and gains pride through the success of the towns high school football team, The Permian

My favorite place to be is Chick-Fil-A. Chick-Fil-A is a bright red and light colored brown building with a plant statue of a cow, an outside eating area, and a drive through. When you walk in you might hear the frier, or the timer for the waffle fries, people talking, kids playing on the plastic playground, and you might hear the drink machine running if you are at the counter. Some of things you will touch, that could be very gross, are food, tables, door handles, condiment containers, and more than likley your disgusting, filthy money. At Chick-Fil-A you will probably taste chicken because pretty much everything they serve at Chick-Fil-A is chicken, of course. You could also end up tasting their amazing milkshakes or your everyday

Now when I say tiny town I mean it. The population is about 1,400 people with one gas station, one grocery store, and 2 restaurants with some gift shops. The first time I saw Grand Marais we drove into town and in a blink of an eye it was gone. I’ve never seen anything like this other than in movies. We finally got to her cabin, and it was one of three houses on that entire road which at first seemed horrific. But something I’ll never forget is how bright the stars were. We stood outside and saw every star in that sky, since there wasn’t many neighbors with their lights on, or highways with a cluster of traffic. The first morning I was ther, Brooklyn started to show me some amazing spots such as Hurricane river, Tahquamenon Falls, Marquette Harbor, and so much more. I got to experience a place that most people don't even realize is on the map. When the vacation was finally over I asked my friends back at home what they did. Which you can probably guess was them glued to their phones and laptops all summer. I had an amazing summer that I’ll always remember, and I'm glad it didn't involve

Arriving in the overgrown drive way trees start to crowd your vision, in the middle of all the trees I see an old beach house; that has stayed the same over the 18 years I have been going up there. Grandma is waiting outside on the front porch we all run up to give her a hug, then we go and start unpacking for a week’s worth of relaxing. First thing we do when were done unpacking is go to the old but new play structure. We sit on the swings and look out towards the big blue Michigan Lake. White caps cover most of the water along with passing boats, and some kayakers. Right over the horizon I can see the lights from the town, reaching into the sky. The sun is starting to set; the sky is painted with pink, orange, and yellow.

It’s the grassy greens, near the winding pebbly road I remember first. The long stalks of spinifex still line the edges, though now neatly trimmed all around. The uneven crunch-crunch-crunch of the gravel as I drive my sunny Porsche across town. Even in winter, bindies pepper the half soccer field, other foliage: a bush dotted with withered yellow berries and emerging saplings surround the patchy lawn like spectators. Smack bang in the middle, winter clawing its way in, stands a grandiose resilient oak, basking under the mild heat of the country sun, glorified as it houses two tombs. Its boughs stretch towards me invitingly and I smile…

The experience of visiting the Dyckman Farm House & Museum gave me the opportunity to have an understanding of how beautiful and soundless the city was. Similarly to what George J. Demko said on his essay “A Sense of Place”, “All places change. They change in themselves and they change relative to other places, and they may cause in other places. We may imagine there are certain places magically untouched by time or change.” This quotation indeed relates to the sense of magic surrounded to the Dyckman Farm House & Museum and how this old colonial-styled house is in the middle of subways, bus stations and buildings, yet it feels like time has not changed. The experience of visiting the Dyckman Farm House and Museum meant

P leasantville is a small town that exists within a virtual reality, where nothing goes wrong this means everything is good and everything stays the same. Literally nothing exists outside of it, so it has no outside influences. The sun is always shining, the teenagers go to school to learn and no one knows about sex. It’s a docile world where the women are housewives and the husbands are the providers for the family. There are no emergencies, well, only if a cat is stuck in a tree.

Dyersburg is a quiet town with almost no crime, it’s not so small to where everyone knows each other, but there’s nothing wrong with that. This town is pretty fun as is, I’ve had a lot of good memories of this town and hope I never forget them. It is a small enough town though, to where you can walk everywhere, if you know where to go. Being in a small town has its good and bad reasons like: low crime rate, but not much will happen and you’ll get bored if you do nothing for too long, so either make a lot of friends or find something to keep you busy for a while. Dyersburg is a complete contradiction, on its face it seems like nothing ever happens, but the youth live crazy lives during school and it’ll leave you entertained every day of the

Throughout the valley floor, superb sceneries cover the region with delightful trees and magnificent meadows. Exquisite views of the sheer rock faces surround the valley. While walking through the fields, you can feel the moist grass grazing your legs. There’s always the sweet smell of flowering plants, extensive rivers, and tremendous woodlands. You can hear the distant sounds of the crashing waterfalls,

Sitting here and looking back, my life is pretty boring now compared to when I was younger, it was all fun, now as I'm growing up I realize not everything is easy, school is a lot more stressful. I was born here in Longmont colorado, my birthday is in June 3rd so I just turned 13. I am the youngest, yet still taller than my older sister, and two brothers. Mexico and North Carolina are my favorite places to go one reason is because there family that i rarely see, when I do go to either place it gets my mind off things, which is good. I would like to have a great life someday maybe it's just because I'm lazy or school is just boring but I don't wanna go to college. Also I didn't have much friends when I was in elementary, something good about

As I sit here, on the hood of my car looking out into the vast field I think to myself, why this place? Out of all the places that mean so much to me, why does this place stand out the most?
