"Cedric Jennings often retreats [to Mr. Taylor's classroom to practice SAT problems (Suskind 4)]." Unfortunately, one person can only be…

For some people, the foreclosures hit them with a force of a bulldozer rolling them out of their comfortable zones and forcing them back into the land of the rental. But for others, like myself, the foreclosure market was an amazing moment when the stars aligned and every house price dropped to prices that some of us could easily finally afford. Not only were we able to afford a house for the first time possibly in history, we were able to have our pick of the litter as it were. It was a buyers’…
