In belief my opinion I believe route 66 is better.Because it is much better to ride on.It is better to me because the Interstate is all loud and noisy while on the other hand Route 66 is much much more quieter and peaceful.When your riding on the interstate its like your baby brother crying all night long while Route 66 is sleeping like a peaceful cloud.Route 66 is the highway of the unknown and the Interstate is the highway to hell.What i mean by that is the Interstate is sometimes narrow while Route 66 is a open road.On the Interstate people are cursing and fussing about how slow or how fast one is going or doing wrong.Wherever you are on any Interstate will get you there faster you will also have to deal with a lot of traffic but on Route 66 you wont have to deal with much traffic.Although there are more places to stop and Drink on the interstate On Route 66 there are many places to look see and maybe visit. In the prompt it talks about and states that sometimes its like a journey or sometimes like a rush to get from point A to point B.It also says that Route 66 is old so that means that there would be some more things to look at.Sure the interstate gets you there faster.When you drive the two lane highways it does not matter how much time it takes.In fact you might even wanna keep driving and driving and driving because you are having so much fun. …show more content…
A writer named William Least-Heat Moon coined the term to refer to those smaller, out-of-the-way roads that were drawn in blue on the old road atlases. Blue highways connect small cities and rural areas that may once have had dreams of becoming big cities before being bypassed by the interstate. With many of these smaller places, though, you get the sense that they are exactly what they always wanted to be: warm and human-sized, comfortable places to
Sidewalks are different shapes and sizes, people tend to make their own decisions to which way they would want to go. Going through the motions on a sidewalk is similar as going through the motions of life. There are many turns that could get you to your final destination and turns that can also get you into places you would not feel so comfortable being. Staying on the right path and trying to get to where you need to go isn’t so hard but when you have other sidewalks with nice grass and big beautiful street lights that can be a very big distraction to the eye and that could cause problems in your life. Nice sidewalks sometimes don't always tend to continue a nice path so they can be very believing at first but when you make it to the end
Throughout the book Tom Lewis goes back and forth between the good and bad that came about from building highways. While the paved roads connected our country, made travel time faster, provided recreation, and pushed the development of automobiles they also created more congestion and travel time, divided communities, and made us slaves to automobiles. The author is critical of the highways, but he does realize the great achievement it is in the building of America. Lewis said, “As much as we might dislike them, we cannot escape the fact that ...
Would you rather drive on Route 66 or on the interstate? When you are on the interstate it is so boring because there is nothing to look at. Who would want to do that for most of your day and who would be happy with looking at trees and other cars and who would want to spend there whole day doing that because I know I would not want to do that.But on Route 66 you have so much to look at and Route 66 can take you back in time by used to "grand" high way. What would you do if that was you?
There is so much to be discovered in our vast world of technology. Scientists and researchers work hard everyday to educate themselves and others on the advances capable of being achieved. There are people learning about new technology, different scientific and medical methods, and most of all medicine everyday. However, there is always a price to pay with hypotheses running their course through experiments, and that is the testing subject. Scientists feel the best choice for such research is to use animals to be tested, and that great achievements in the science world are worth it. Just as these scientists are, testing on innocent animals is completely wrong. Just because they are available for testing, and don’t have any ability to opt out in these experiments, does not mean they are right for the job.

Many people participate in the State Fair every year, regardless of age, but for some this is their way of life. Waking up early in the morning to feed their animals, fitting them for the next show, waiting for your chance to show off how great your animal is, no matter what the judge says, and then shaking the hand of the judge when they select your animal for Grand/Reserve Champion. This may be short lived for some, but people like me who show at fairs and point shows, and then later go on to the State Fair have learned this is a daunting task to make sure your animals are happy, fed, and are also show ready before you walk into the arena.
Journeying along the back roads of the blue highways of the road maps, William Least Heat Moon discovers the forgotten people of America in Blue Highways. In the beginning, his trip seems to be motivated by anger and disillusion. But when readers look deeper into the story, they see that Least Heat Moon focuses the attention on how to "climb out of a world which he realized was impersonal and materialistic" (Lyons 63). By avoiding the large cities, he focuses his attention on the forgotten civilizations. His ability to convey feelings with his storytelling doesn't commercialize the people or the stories. According to one critic, "Least Heat Moon has the judgment to step aside and let them tell their own often remarkable stories in their own words" (Perrin, 858). By mapping out his route, Least Heat Moon goes full circle from his hometown of Columbia Missouri to Othello, New Jersey, and back. Feeling as if his life is going nowhere, Least Heat Moon starts his journey in the middle of America.

People around the world are constantly moving from place to place. Whether that place is work, a restaurant, or home, people require a means of transportation in order to arrive at a desired destination safely and efficiently. One of the most used means of transportation today are cars. Cars play an important role in the world’s economy by transporting goods and people. Automobiles have come a long way since Ford’s first Model T, and the auto industry plans to further enhance the technology and capabilities of the cars that drive on our roads. New technological advancements like rear-view camera, self parking, and auto braking have greatly improved the overall safety of cars today. However, one of the most talked about ideas are autonomous
Public transportation is an essential part of a city. A good public transit can encourage a city’s economic activities and can provide its citizen a convenient life. Does our Phoenix public transit work well? Does it provide sufficient service to the citizen? From my experience, the answer is no. This November I tried to attend the popular State Fair in Phoenix. However, I found that there were not any buses or metros could take me to the fair directly. It means I need 2 hours or more spend on the public transits. As the sixth most populous city nationwide (“Phoenix Quick Fact” 1), compared with Los Angeles and other big cities in America, Phoenix’s public transportation is indeed subpar. Due to Los Angeles has 154 bus lines and 30 metros (“Schedule”), New York has 316 bus lines and 28 subways(“Maps & Timetables”), while Phoenix only has 98 bus lines, and the number of metro line is only one! (“Route Schedules & Maps”) The problem is
