this whole country actually. And even before I come here, I already surmise believed it. I was exhausted; I grabbed all my bags and lay down on my bed and locked the door. I stayed there for a couple of minutes thinking about what would my life be in this new place. I looked out of the windows; I see nobody walking around the sidewalk, or kids playing outside or people chit chatting in the neighborhood. And I said to myself, "I 'm already feeling lonely, I wouldn 't get a chance to make new friends in this area". It took me a year to…
Odysseus and his men learn to be humble by making mistakes, having bad consequences, and feeling pain. The mistakes made by Odysseus teach us that everybody is destined to blunder at some point in their life. The reader may think that Odysseus is a flawless warrior; however, his actions show how even the strongest of warriors face misfortune and mishaps. For example, when Odysseus tells the Cyclops his real name on page 227 (lines 558-562), “‘Cyclops if any man on the face of the earth should…
I am interested in attending Tulane for various reasons. One being that it is located in my favorite city, New Orleans. New Orleans is such a great city with so much to do and culture that is very rich. It is drenched in wonderful history and makes you feel like you are in a whole different country while being located right in the United States. I also love the climate of New Orleans. It being warm all year is a major plus for me. Tulane also is the perfect size with not too many and not two…
16 November 2017 My Favorite Place is... My Favorite Place is Sea Aisle City, New Jersey. My family and I went to New Jersey in the beginning of July, 2016. It was a 12 hour drive, but before we got there, we stopped in Pittsburgh and that’s 5 hours away. We stayed with our grandparents, cousins, aunt, and uncle. The next day my family left and I left with my aunt and uncle with their two kids. We got in New Jersey at about midnight and my parents and my siblings got there around 10:00 pm. We…
After the storm was over—a full seven days and six nights of being homebound—a group of my friends and I got together outside of the Puttingneg city library after the martial law was lifted and streets cleared. The library sat on three acres of land. It had a garden and beautiful pond with gold fish. The castle shape library had four towers and many windows. The building was made of marble bricks. As you enter the front entrance, the oval double doors was made of solid bronze. James, Cindy,…
Lubbock One of the biggest connections I made throughout the book, The Liar's Club by Mary Karr, was through the city Lubbock, in Texas. Mary Karr's (the author's and narrator's) grandmother lived there until she died while staying at their house. I was deeply connected by this because I was born in Lubbock and lived there until I moved to California at the age of 7. Lubbock has always been my favorite place because of the traditions and memories it carries. The first tradition that…
Coming from a populated city and area I was intrigued at the opportunity to learn about something that would be completely new to me. I grew up barely outside of Rochester Minnesota, which is an hour and a half south of the cities. Rochester, as I see it, is a city within a rural area. My definition and your definition of rural are two completely different things. Thus, when you first asked us to describe three words that we thought of when we heard the term rural I put down: Farm, Farmer, and…

San Luis Obispo, CA: City Review In my early thirties, my family and I moved to San Luis Obispo, CA. We lived on Foothill Blvd. for just over 5 years. While we loved the city, we felt we were just a little too close to the college. I was saddened when my husband’s job took us further south, but if we were to go back, we would choose another area; one that was simply a little quieter. If you are relocating to San Luis Obispo, CA and you prefer quiet, consider an area away from the college. …
