In Methland, Nick Reding vindicates that small towns in the United States are not what they seem to be. He suggests many people throughout the nation see small towns as quaint little towns with diligent people living and working in them. As Reding articulates throughout the book that this idea of quiet, hard-working small towns is all just ignorance and imagination, especially for towns like Oelwein, Iowa. This town when you first examine it seems to have a nasty meth problem that seems almost…

Urban versus Small Towns Due to the rapid growth of urbanization, a massive gap has been created between urban environments and small towns. These communities have distinct features which measure their own kind of uniqueness, their own set of attributes, how they shape human relations and cultures, as well as the amount of freedom people living in the communities have. Urban environments and small towns differentiate from one another in three main aspects which are in their numbers, density,…

As the Stage Manager in Our Town said, “Life goes on.” This quotation reveals that everything has a beginning and an ending. The play by Thornton Wilder, and Sounder by William H. Armstrong, contain three perfect examples of people who had survived as their loved ones passed away. These character examples are the boy from the novel Sounder, and George and Editor Webb from the play. The boy lost his father, and his dog. George lost his wife, Emily, and his mother, Mrs. Gibbs. Finally Editor Webb…

This population could be an entire country or that of a small county in Wisconsin, I attended a Waukesha County Town Hall meeting. I learned a lot from this meeting, but what this meeting specifically taught me about American politics was that there is a severe lack of diversity in those who represent us and also those who participate in public forums. Along…

In reading Richard Hugo’s “The Triggering Town” it was as if I was literally sitting in a room with him discussing the different aspects of writing poetry, over a glass of wine. Hugo uses a conversational style of writing to inform his reader of the “triggering” concept. His informal method of voicing his concerns is presented in a candid and frank manner, often sprinkled with profanity for emphasis. He explores the formal aspects of writing in an informal manner to entice the young poets of…

Paper Towns: Book vs Movie I’ve chosen to write about the differences between the book Paper Towns and the movie, basically what they didn’t include and what they changed in the film adaption. Personally I would say that I prefer the book before the movie, because the book is obviously more detailed and you get to read about the character's backstory and get to know them better. The author, who co-produced the film, made a video on youtube where he talked about the fact that the movie will be…

world when you two are together. Well in the book Paper Towns by John Green it shows exactly that, how two people can be strangers one moment, but in an instant they can both mean so much to each other. Even if these two people are close by or a million miles apart the connection that they both have for eachother will never fade away. Love and friendship has a very strong connection and can be similar in many different ways,…

Cameras had the greatest effect on property crime whereas the effect on personal crime was less clear as there was little change in the level of assault and wounding. “When a survey was taken in the three towns, most people felt safer with the presence of CCTVs, but those who often visited the town centre regularly did not feel any safer” (Brown, 1996). Many individuals felt that the cameras were unable to control the rowdy behavior of the people. When the three cases were compared individually,…
