Tennessee's Journey

Nashville is the capital of Tennessee and the seat of Davidson County. The city is also called the Nashville-Davidson city and is known as one of the 15 best cities in the United States for work and family. The area combines southern America charm with a contemporary urban metropolis. It is the centre of an urbanized area that also embraces parts of seven surrounding counties. The city of Nashville features the topography of rolling hills and lush vegetation, while the downtown urban core is a combination of skyscrapers, renovated historic buildings, and is known for its steady economic climate. Major industries of the area range from healthcare based companies and goods production

Have you ever been to Atlanta,Georgia before?The time i went to Atlanta,Georgia was month I have ever had. I got to hangout with my cousins,family,and friends. We had so much fun with them because we did something so much fun.We went to Atlanta,Georgia to go visit people.

Well the week of our trip to Memphis Tennessee had finally arrived ! My colleagues Beverly,

The literary movement of local-color regionalism in American literature is a very distinctive and interesting form of fiction writing that effectively combines regional characteristics, dialect, customs and humor. In Bret Harte’s Tennessee’s Partner, these characteristics helped the story jump off the page, allowing the reader to understand the “times” rather than just the characters. And, for that reason, I feel that this is an outstanding piece of work.

My favorite vacations were when we went to the zoo and down to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I went to Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum to the Ripley's Aquarium. I love animals and weird people so these vacations were super important to me.

Entertainment in the area is targeted at a wide variety of age groups and interests that include some of East Tennessee State University students. Gatlinburg has many attractions such as Camp Thunder Fun Center, Fun Mountain, and Ober Gatlinburg. Camp Thunder, located on the main parkway, offers indoor go-karts, miniature golf, and a motion simulator.

“Nashville” by Tiana Clark was published in 2017 and details the experience of a black women through first person during present time and how her life as a black woman relates back strongly to the civil rights movement of the 1960’s. The speaker is a woman who is married to a white man and that is chasing someone who said a racial slur to her on the streets. She talks about how the civil rights movement happened and how it changed but how history repeats itself in a way that racism is still around today. The poem ends with her trying to come with peace with finding out who said the racial slur so she can get over it and move on. Racism has been around a long time. This poem in a deeper sense is about death of innocent people and

Tennessee is the sixteenth state of the United States. Known for being the Volunteer State, Tennessee’s is one of the most diverse geological states in the United States. Due to the nine geological features, Tennessee is divided into three grand divisions. These grand divisions each have geological features which separates each one from the next. Tennessee’s the grand divisions are, East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee, and West Tennessee.

The South desired to bring the neutral state of Kentucky to the Confederacy. The Confederacy also wanted to move its western border to the Ohio River, while diverting Union forces from southern strongholds. Since the first artillery ordinance crossed the waters at Fort Sumter, little did the state of Kentucky know it would play a critical role in the outcome of the Civil War. Tennessee seceded from the union after President Abraham Lincoln called upon the Volunteer State to overpower the rebellion; Kentucky laid just to the north and it would appear to be a strategic advantage point in trans-Allegheny West. In the meantime, General Bragg and his top general Major General (MG) Kirby Smith studied over their

East Tennessee is an amazing place to live. This special part of Tennessee provides people with the sense of home and family. The many attractions and historical landmarks draw and bring together people from all over with its charm and hospitality for now and many years to come. East Tennessee provides America with the history and roots that give another perspective to America’s growth.

We had a fast trip down to Mississippi to visit with Dad & Kay. With all the storms blowing through, we managed to evade them all thankfully. We did have sunny skies on Friday & Monday. And the little Miata just hummed along. We took the top down Friday after we left Hopkinsville KY. Getting off the Pennyrile Pkwy and onto I-24 for a bit, traffic became quite heavy heading into Nashville, so we got off the interstate and cut across the countryside to the far edge of Nashville. Once on the southwest side of Nashville and the beginning of the Natchez Trace Parkway we stopped at the infamous Loveless Cafe before driving the Natchez Trace. We thought we'd just sit down, have a meal and drive on.....uh no, 1 1/2 hr wait, the place was packed with people there to eat smoked BBQ sandwiches. In the next building over, they sold sandwiches to go, so that is what we did, sort of. We found some chairs outside in the shade, ate our meal. The Natchez Trace is a destination drive within itself, maintained by the National Park Service, it is a beautiful drive with lots of places to pull off, hike, see waterfalls, vistas, etc.....none of which we did :-)

We also had the chance to do some shopping before leaving and to me, that was the highlight of my trip. The Nashville mall was so big it man little Augusta, Ga mall look like a broom closet. In the mall I stopped at a shoe store, where I bought some sandals I had been wanting for the longest but could never find in the mall at home. The trip was very rewarding to me because I got a chance to spend quality time with a part of my family that I only get the chance to see during the Holidays. The trip brought a lifetime of memories that I will never forget. We ended our trip with a birthday celebration for my two nieces whose birthdays were a few days apart. The colorful pink party for the girls included; crown shaped cake, ice-cream, and lots of smiles from the two birthday girls. Furthermore, the three-day trip was over and it was back to the hotel to pack for the drive home. The drive home needless to say was not very exciting. I would have loved to stay in Nashville visiting my aunt for a few more days I was happy to be home. My family does not get together that often, we are a happy family but we also have our differences like any other

The greasy scent of cheap burgers and fries wafted into the car as we pulled into the parking lot of a Wendy’s, right in the heart of who-knows-where, East Tennessee. I couldn’t contain my excitement as I rushed my 12-year-old self out of the minivan and into the palace of grease. Clad in ratty sweatpants and a t-shirt with my hair pressed down from my prolonged use of headphones, it was evident that I spent long hours sitting in a car, asking “if we’re there yet” too many times to count. In this moment, however, carving up Snowshoe Mountain on my snowboard didn’t seem as exciting as the machine that stood across the room. Standing tall, shiny, and red, the Coca-Cola Freestyle soda fountains were in the early stages of being released, and

In recent years the state of Tennessee has experienced many problems with their new standardized testing called TN Ready. The new TN Ready standardized testing is unbeneficial to students and teachers. In the best interest of students and teachers the state should abolish TN Ready, and replace with the ACT Aspire and the ACT.
