Our Town

There are many factors in our society that have played a crucial role in growth, such our families, religions, neighborhood, town, countries, and many more. They have affected our abilities, knowledge, behaviors, skills, and attitudes in so many different angles, good or bad. And all these, make us who we are today and we can’t deny it.

come to this country many gifts. From the declaration of our independence to the continuous fights in Afghanistan, many men and women have fought, died, or were wounded for our free country. For this American country we believe in the freedom to walk around town without worry, the choice of occupation, and for the freedom of choice of anything we want. The freedom of peace is a great gift given to us by brave people that wanted everyone in our country to have. In books, movies, and stories, we…

Setting And How It Affects People Reading A&P reminded me of growing up in a relatively small town. With all the same feeling of such monotonous in everyday actions. As if following a routine for life, as if scripted how it ought to be.with the norms of the residents of it, nothing ever really changed, and neither did the closed mindedness of people around. the setting of A&P influentially dictates the people within the small beach front community, having a great impact of their own attitudes,…
