Our Town

parents about it. When my mother was seventeen and my father was eighteen, they had a miscarriage of twins. So when they see a young child walking around town by themselves they get very defensive. They think parents should protect and cherish all of their children because my parents never got the chance too with my eldest siblings. The children in town really seem just run around with each other without any adult supervision at any time of day. The playground at the local park can be filled…

reading for this week, I have come to notice how many factors have truly influenced my mental map. In the reading “Intro to geography” by Dahlman Renwick the definition of behavioral geography is “how our perception influences our behavior” and the images one imagines when thinking of these perceptions is our mental map. I did not know how influential my behavioral geography was on myself until I came to college. I had many mental maps about the world and several of them have been proven wrong.…

One thing that we can all agree on,is that small towns like Columbia City could use a little more variety.It would be more interesting for the native residents of the town,and in some cases like bringing in a restaurant,it could help expand that restaurant’s business.But of course like every big decision the question persists:What restaurant would we bring to the city?I would insist that we bring in a Steak-n-Shake.There are a multitude of reasons to support my decision. The first reason I…

TITLE Tombstone: The Town Too Tough To Die LEAD PARAGRAPH There’s a town out in the Arizona desert steaming with history. Drive just 30 minutes outside of Tucson and you’ll be traveling back some hundred years. You’ll stand in a town reminiscent of a time when America was young, boisterous, and unsettling. It’s a bygone era free of today’s fast paced mobility, where adventure was around every corner and the frontier was alive. Out passed wide arid space the surrounding mountains were a…

Safineia, the most environmentally-friendly town among the outdoors with extensive amount of trees and waterfalls. In Safineia we value the importance of preserving and recycling. The Lorax is a great representation of this because he loves nature and is known as “one with the trees”. He speaks for the trees to strive for what is best for his city, and as a transcendentalist community, we look to nature for reassurance. In our city, Safineia, the Lorax is a significant figure because his…

Commodity in the Visit The play the visit is a thrilling tale of a corrupt town anIn the play The Visit by Friedrich Durrenmatt, the motif of justice is mutated into a commodity instead of defined as a moral standard, this is shown through foreshadowing, symbolism and the evolving actions of the characters throughout the three acts. Claire Zachanassian uses her wealth to act as a diety over a small struggling town, she makes them an offer that is hard to decline and as a society their…

very hard not to die.” Hurricane Katrina was a hurricane that hit the gulf coast of the United States in 2005. The town most affected by this natural disaster was New Orleans. New Orleans is a town located under sea level and is protected from flooding by levees. When the levees broke it caused thousands to lose their lives and even more to be trapped inside their town they called home, people went days with little to no materials needed. Hurricane Katrina was such a catastrophe because…

For so many people in our world home is just about a house. Simply about the beds, appliances, furniture. For some maybe a wooden hut is what they consider their home or a small city apartment. Whatever it may be, generally a lot of people see their home as just a building. For me I do not consider a brick building with a green metal roof, white siding and a big backyard to be my home. Home can be more than this however. It can really be in any form, to me home is a sense of family. Whether it…

I don’t believe that any town should just give up and die. Smaller towns tend to have less to work with but that’s no excuse for allowing their city to fall into ruins. Community leaders and members have to realize that growth doesn’t just happen magically, it must be worked for. Community leaders have to research and find brokers and economic developers to help their town to grow and flourish. This allows those brokers and developers to grow their assets and the community to grow in ways they…
