Dirt road

My dirt road has been a hindrance to my neighborhood which has caused more than enough trouble. I have wanted it paved ever since I could personally drive and when I witnessed the issues that the road caused. The county’s lack of cooperation has left the neighborhood frustrated and unsure of how to fix the problem. My community has struggled for years with the issue of paving Calhoun road, which has caused damage to both citizens and their vehicles forcing us to bear the burden of paying for repairs and necessary improvements. I have lived on Calhoun road my entire life and for as long as I can remember my family and neighbors have tried getting it paved to no avail. After many altercations and issues with the road, my father and our neighbors became fed up with the conditions of the road, and contacted our County Commissioner,…

Life is like a dirt road you don’t know when the bumps will come. I am a young 14 year old boy that grew up on a farm. I go to El Dorado Spr middle school.

About 4 years ago my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. She went to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston Texas. She went there my 4th grade year and…

Adventure-minded people like to take their trucks, SUVs and cars on the road less traveled. As in dirt roads, over majestic mountain passages, and on the beaches.

my father’s door slam shut, and we flew off down the gravel road, not knowing where we were heading next. Two years ago Dad came home with a young girl named Jezebel it was the same year Vampire became known to the human race as well. He raced through the door. “Hey Aura hurry up pack everything,” he said as I walked into the living room. “Dad, who’s this?” I said referring to Jezebel. She has sickly pale skin that stand out among my fathers and mine. When she saw, me she smiled, hoping to…

As a child, the world to me was a place with elusive networks of dirt roads. The small, dirty, square shaped, concrete houses provided shade and comfort from the heat that bounced off the streets causing a mirage of wavering images. The streets were filled with honks from countless motorcycles and rickshaws. Hearing similar dialogues and accents as the people argued for cheaper pomegranates from the food stands located at the corner of the streets. This place of dirt networks, flat-roofed…

You turn your sights to the hills of Tennessee, travelling along the back roads out of Knoxville up into the Smoky Mountains. You notice a curious dirt road, leading off the paved asphalt of your route. Being an adventurous type, you decide to see where it leads. Winding through the undergrowth and crashing through branches that haven’t been moved in years, your 4x4 bounces you around like a ball. Finally, the road flattens out and leads you into an open area amongst the trees. A long forgotten…

The famous poem “The Road Less Travelled” by Robert Frost is short, simple and to the point. It follows a speaker on his walk through the quaint forest when he meets a fork in the road. The roads are analyzed and a choice is made that he is aware will affect the rest of his life. Frost uses many rhetorical devices in this poem, but the three big ones he uses are the speaker himself, the setting the poem takes place in, and lastly symbolism. All three of these are greatly represented in this…

hinders the outcome of our future. The poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost is the best poem in the world as it symbolizes the hardships and struggles we, as humans, are demanded to face in order to arrive at our final destination. The poem also conceals an underlying message; one road is not necessarily the right choice. The use of metaphors, symbols, and imagery assist the author in provoking his idea with clarity. Firstly, the entire poem is an extended metaphor symbolizing the…

animals and fresh air which is in Bakersfield. As we drive through the desert, it becomes apparent that our surroundings are filled with dirt, little brown lizards, and hot heat waves. The very few trees appear to be still, and not have any kind of movement due to the fact that there is no sight of wind. There is no sound of chirping birds flying in the light blue sky. Everyone is dying of hotness, and boredom, and there is no one else driving in the hot desert. It is very lonely and quite…
