The Importance Of Living In Centre, Alabama

Improved Essays
I live in Centre, Alabama, which isn’t the most exciting place to live. Matter of fact it is very, very boring. There is barely anything fun to do, maybe besides the drive-in. Our population is only three thousand-six hundred and seventy-seven, while places elsewhere have populations of thirty-eight point eight million. Centre is not pronounced like “century,” instead it is pronounced like “center.” The biggest town from Centre is Gadsden, which is like forty-five minutes away. Centre can also be a fun place to live at certain times.
Centre is surrounded by trees. It’s like everywhere you turn there are more trees to remind you that you live in the middle of nowhere.Now people are cutting the trees down, which isn’t that great. The one place

    Applying to colleges, jobs, or certain schools is a difficult process to do. Your application must be accurate and efficient. Also, you have to compete with other people that desperately want the same position as you do. However, before you can assume that you want the ‘spot’, you have to know what the requirements are and why do you feel like you're the best choice. For example, if you are an advanced eighth grader in the tri-cities region of Virginia, you are capable to apply for the governor school, which are Maggie L. Walker and Appomattox Regional.…

    Chapter 48-51 were beautiful!! I love the chemistry between Scarlett and Rhett since it's so magnificent and I can feel all their emotions (mostly Rhett). In addition, Rhett is the perfect man for Scarlett as in shown in chapter 48 by Scarlett realizing that Rhett sometimes treat her as his queen while other times, he tease her or mock her which I find it adorable. In chapter 49, the Old Southern women treated Scarlett as garbage and accusing her for many things such killing Frank and having an affair with Rhett when Scarlett was married.

    In the essay “Why Place Matters” Wilfred McClay and Ted McAllister argue that the loss of one's connection to a physical place results in the loss of individuality and one's public virtues. They fear that the importance of “place” seems to be fading and is now currently being replaced with a world that is deemed ‘placeless’ and thrives only on technology. They claim that place is an essential part for one to have a set of memories that build up a self identity. This self identity allows for a sense of responsibility that one has for their own community. They believe one cannot be apart of society without being a part of a place within that society.…

    I currently reside in Markham, the city is a part of York Region and is located just north of Toronto. I moved there at the end of eighth grade, and since then it has been my hometown. Markham is a boring place to be, rarely does anything eventful ever happens, and there is really nothing to do, there is a mall, a theatre and occasionally there’s a festival, which is pretty much it. This is aided by the fact that crime is low in the city, there are few murders and little robberies, with most notable crimes being the occasional weed deal here and there. Markham is also a quiet place, mainly thanks to a small population, the minimal traffic and lack of pedestrians keeps noise to a minimum.…

The film dealt with many complex social issues, but underlying all of these issues was the neighborhood the story originated in, and the effect it had on the characters of the film. This film presents a powerful message about sense of place and the importance and occasional negative effects of having an attachment to a particular neighborhood or city.…

    Essay on “Why Place Matters” In Wilfred M. McClay and Ted V. McAllister’s “Why Place Matters,” they discuss about “place” as an abstract concept that can also be very precise and meaningful. However, due to globalization and digital interactions, place no longer seem to matter in modern society. Individuals are substituting place and physical space with websites and online relations. As a result, people are disconnecting from our physical innate need for thereness. I agree with McClay and McAllister that the lack of physical place can risk losing our ability to associate with others, one’s identity, and public virtues.…
