The long term dispute over which is better, east coast vs. west coast, will undoubtedly continue until this country no longer exists. While both coasts offer travelers and natives a variety of places to eat, things to do, and places to see, California, North Carolina, and South Carolina want to put their states on the map with their interesting history and ways of living. Due to so much variety on each coast, there is something on each side for everyone. More often than not, people picture California and the Carolinas to be polar opposites. This way of thinking comes from the idea that Hollywood, the city of dreams, consumes California entirely. Consequently, travelers must dig deep to find the hidden gems throughout each state. There will always be more than what meets the eye.
There are hundreds of military bases throughout the United States of America. California and the Carolinas contribute to that statistic. Home to almost 30 different bases, California boasts the most commonly known Marine Corps Air Station-Miramar, Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Recruit Depot-San Diego, and the Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, home to the Navy SEALS. One of the very prevalent military communities within California is San Diego. There is an overwhelming sense of pride in the Armed Forces around every corner in what is a relatively large city. North and South Carolina are very familiar with that same sense of pride.

For example, Disneyland, Universal Orlando, Magic Kingdoms, and Florida Keys. Each of these attractions attract millions of tourists each year due to all of the fun things you can do. I think these attractions impact their culture because they are the things that shape Florida into the state that is it today. People travel from all over the world to see these places. In Indiana there aren’t as many fun attractions, they are mostly historic. This is a cool difference because it gives us a background on U.S. history but could also be fun for people who are interested in history. There are many places to visit from museums to memorials, all very cool things. If you ever get tired of seeing Palm Trees, Indiana would be a great place to visit. Although it is missing out on the Palm Trees, you could never miss out on seeing a field. Indiana is known for growing crops in huge fields all over state. Farming plays a huge role in our lives. A lot of food Florida receives is exported from Indiana. Florida is too dry and hot all year long to grow crops. Yes they do grow some, but they mostly grow on trees, for example oranges. Oranges play a huge role in Florida, it is one of their many traditions. In Florida, people hand-squeeze oranges like we do with Lemons, to make Orange Juice. Most of the world’s Orange Juice comes from Florida and is another thing that makes Florida so pure and

Colorado is a beautiful and historical state; the wide open plains, the glorious tall mountains, the history of its people that have shaped Colorado into what it is today. There is a lot to explore and learn when it comes to the Centennial State. Because of its history, Colorado is considered to be the meeting ground amongst three sections in the American West; the Atlantic Coast and Mississippi Valley, North and South, and Massachusetts and Virginia. These sections have shaped and developed the settlement and region in their own special ways.
With all these travelers from the east and different country made California a “melting pot” of different people and culture. When news that California that had gold began to spread outside of the United State it first hit Mexico and Hawaii lead to the first wave of immigrants with the purpose of mining. Then, news the quickly across the world from South America to Europe and from Australian to Asian, the impact was so big that the text said, “Irish immigration to the United States, already at 100,000 a year in 1847, more than double to 220,000 by 1851” (Gillon, 297). With all these people mining towns would quickly pop up across California, and these towns with every race you could think such as Black, French, Irish, Chinese, Mexican, and etc. The towns were constantly busy with people moving to and from mine and rivers. With a day or a week of work could make you a nice amount of profit, you could entertain yourself for a while before you had to go back to mining with bars, gambling parlors, and whore house. Prostitutes made good money because in text said that, “ One prostitute in California Boasted of making more than $50000in a year.” (Gillon, 297). I could imagine myself being there if I made it there.
The military currently has 64 ships home ported in the area and 36 aircraft squadrons. They also have a variety of Navy Special Forces and support units.
As a North Carolinian, I did not spend very much time dwelling on the state of West Virginia. To me, it was a state that not many people paid attention to. It kind of just did its own thing without anyone thinking twice about it. It wasn’t until when I was deciding where to go to school that West Virginia was formally introduced to me. Contacted by the Women’s Lacrosse coach, I visited and promptly fell in love with the University of Charleston but it was nothing I was expecting from West Virginia. When I began to tell people that I was going to school in WV, I was flooded with opinions. Every friend of mine I’ve told, gave me the same or similar response: “doesn’t everyone have sex with their cousins up there?” Now I would be lying if I hadn’t thought of that once or twice about it but that was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to my perceptions of the state.
Geographically California is located in the Western Coast of North America, and is the third largest State in the United States. The largest cities are; Los Angeles which is known for Disney Land, San Diego which is known for the Sea World, San Francisco which is known for the Golden Bridge and Sacramento which is known for the largest preserved historic district of the Gold Rush and for being its capital since 1854. Although California superiority comes from its warm weather, it does have the most diverse Geography. The Central Valley which is in the center of California dominates do to the major agriculture area. “the Sacramento Valley was then a true sea of grass, grass so high a man riding into it could tie across his saddle.” (Didion.
From the rolling hills of New Hampshire to the arid deserts of Arizona, the United States has diversification when it comes to their states. After having resided in both for the whole of my life, it became quite clear what the two do and do not have in common. Nearly on opposing sides of the nation, New Hampshire and Arizona have numerous sets of unique and shared qualities.
The Great Depression is one of the most misunderstood events in not only American history but also Great Britain, France, Germany, and many other industrialized nations. It also has had important consequences and was an extremely devastating event in America. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world. When the New York Stock Exchange crashed in October 1929, the United States dropped sharply into a major depression. The world was in wide demand for agricultural goods during World War I, but they had rapidly decreased after the war and rural America experienced a severe depression throughout most of the 1920's and even on into the 1930's.
North Carolina has always been a much more complicated place than its publicists have claimed. If Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem and Charlotte
When thinking about the United States, most assume that the country is perfect with every citizen believing in the same thing and following by the same rules. What they do not know is that there are many conflicts between the individual regions. Out of the eleven different American nations, I feel that I belong in The Left Coast.
Among all the states of the Union, California is probably the most famous both inside the United States and around the world. This fame is based on images made popular through television and the movies, which portray California as a modern, exciting leading edge society. The most important aspect of the California modern economy today is the same as it was to the Natives of California, California Agriculture.

Sacrificing their lives serving the United States of America, military personnel at least deserve a worthy home. It is common for military families to move every few years and each time comes with a decision of living in a civilian home of their choice or an assigned family-sized home on the military base to which they are assigned. Both options have their pros and cons: for instance, their differences in privacy, cost effectiveness, and security are all major factors in which home location is the better option.
In the play True West by Sam Shepard, it displays two brothers (Austin and Lee) depending on each other like a Yin yang relation. In the beginning of the play Austin is dressed in a “light blue sport shirt, light tan cardigan sweater, clean blue jeans and a white tennis shoes.” a hard working screenwriter at his early thirties who has a family, a house and a car; which Austin Symbolized the goals of the American Dream. On other side, Lee the bigger brother in his early forties dress in a “tattered brown overcoat covered with dust, dark blue baggy suit pants from the salvation army, holes in the soles, pointed black forties dress shoes scuffed up with no socks.” Lee is an alcoholic, a thief, and a person who likes violence. Austin and Lee has a father who is an alcoholic, who lives on the streets, which Austin works really hard to avoid being like his father. In the middle of the play after Saul Kimmer(Hollywood producer) appears between Austin And Lee the roles of both brothers began to shifted, and at last both brothers ends up being like his father. This play should be produced at the Voorhees Theater because In life there's many student who likes to compare their success to another, to worry about what others think about you, and at last they wish to aim higher in life due to the effects of people around you, but in life you are who you are, there's no reason to change, because at the end you are still yourself.
