A place dominated by small businesses, and a town that nearly burned to the ground in 1916. This special town contains a Plaza Theater that dates back to 1926, which is located directly across from the Culbertson fountain right in the middle of the town square.

This town never stops impressing me, people help their neighbors out on their farms, restaurants provide free meals for the homeless and every Saturday night everyone from the town gathers for a movie in the park with their loved ones. But that is not the best part, my absolute favorite part of this small town, is a 3 bedroom, brown, brick house that lies on the end of a narrow dirt road.

By looking at the story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” we can see that a teenager by the name Connie is on the search for independence but also is still dependent on her parents, which most readers don't see; We see this happening when her friends dad took her and her friends to the movie theater (“ Where Are You Going Where Have You Been 861”). That part is important in the story because when Connie is at home she behaves like a brat and when she's with her friend she's a completely different person; she dresses more provocatively.

Everyone has that one spot that is special to him or her for various reasons whether it be a memory, experience, how it makes them feel, etc. For me, my favorite place encompasses all my senses bringing them to an all time high filling me with an overwhelming indescribable feeling. It’s my sanctuary, a safe place, but above all a place to clear my mind and getaway from reality. There aren’t enough captivating words to describe the beauty of this place. In the winter, the vast field covered in a blanket of untouched glimmering snow surrounded by bare
