Recommended: Rural Vs Urban life

I always thought that I would grow up living in the city, go off to college and then move back into the city. Until, I ran into a man that opened my world into a whole new life. A place that you can go and get away from the real world, a place that is so quiet and peaceful you can hear a pin drop. When I stepped onto the land and into the beautiful house that my boyfriend lives in, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life here.

A city girl meets a country boy that shows her that there is more to life than just being able to run down the street to the grocery store or the mall. He shows her that living on a farm can make you appreciate the little things in life. When I met my boyfriend, and he told me that he lived on eight hundred acres in the middle of nowhere; I didn’t know what to think. No cell phone service? When he took me home to meet his parents for the first time and I was in love. The land, the house, the river, it was alluring. I felt like I was in paradise. The large white house with black shutters sits up on a hill overlooking the cold, fresh Robinson River. When I...

  • Comparing And Difference Between Long Island And Brooklyn

    Living in an apartment building it’s like you have to share with other people and you can’t keep any noise because the people next to you or downstairs can hear you. Also you can’t have a barbeque or a party because there is no space to have it. When you live in an apartment building this view is high because you are sitting on the balcony of the 10th floor. Living in a house the view is nice and it’s right there because you can just step outside whenever you want. You can decorate it and if your house is big enough you can have a get together or a party. When u step outside or look out your window you see all these beautiful houses and the pretty flowers that my mom planted. It’s kind of hard to explain the feeling when I stepped into this house; it was like stepping into a mansion. I was so happy and I enjoyed the house because it was such a perfect place to be for when it got warmer. My mom and I would just sit outside our porch whenever we felt like it and we would just sit and have a nice conversation, sometimes I would read a book or listen to music outside instead of being in the house all day. Living out here is a comfortable place to live and to be in because we feel like we didn’t have

  • Personal Narrative: I Grew Up Here

    I was born in Houston, Texas, and for that reason it has always been a home to me. Even though I love the quiet life of a small town (like Burns Flat, where I attend school), the lights and skylines of a big city have always stood for a lot of ideals that I hold very true to my heart. Opportunity, growth, and pride are just a few of these ideals that reflect not only how I feel about cities, but also how I view myself. I spend my summers and holidays in Christmas every year with my dad, my stepmom, and my stepsiblings and their friends, who I spend most of my summer hanging out with.

  • The Long Road Home

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    The future holds a different meaning for everyone, for some it holds hope while for others it holds despair. This constant wondering about the future has influenced many works to be written about the future. Some of these works propose a blissful future, but the majority paint the picture of an unfortunate dystopian world. Recently I read Daughters of the North, a novel in which the dystopian future of England is shown. Shortly after reading Daughters of the North, I watched The Road. This film showed a similar view of the future, yet more grim and unappealing that Daughters of the North. In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting these two works to show two different points of view of what a dystopian world is. After watching The Road I realised there was a large amount of books and movies that believe the future will be grim. I believe this is because as humans we fear what may be in our future due to the conflicts that we face today and wish to warm the world.

    Do you want to live where you grew up, or do you want to move away to achieve a new, desired life? I, personally, think that if I stay where I'm currently living my entire life, my future won't be as successful or enjoyable as it could grow to be. Some people tend to feel as if they're permanently "stuck" in their hometown, which appears to be a nightmare to them. They value the life lessons that come from change and from, altogether, new experiences. A lot of people seem to thrive on the stability of familiarity and refuse to leave their home. One's sense of identity is strongly rooted in familiar places, and the memories of childhood remain comfortably present as people grow to maturity. Also, family relationships and connections with friends tend to be intimate and binding. The continuity of the sun rising over the same mountain each morning, or shopping at the same neighborhood grocery store for years creates a subtle, but deeply affective backdrop to some people's lives.People feel that they're trapped at their home just because that's where they've spent the beginnings of their life, unlike me. I, undoubtedly, want to experience the "city life."

    Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however, it does have its drawbacks. Importantly, it has nearly everything a resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery, proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers. Nevertheless, the roads can be some of the most congested in town, and the streets are not safe to walk late at night. Fortunately, I wake every morning to the most beautiful sun-lit house. I sit on my porch sipping coffee, while I drink in an atmosphere that steals my breath away.

  • Home is Where the Heart Is

    2088 Words  | 5 Pages

    There is a familiar saying, which is along the lines of, "Home is where the heart is." This is true for most, but often, people are forced to leave their homes and relocate. Often, this causes a sense of uprootedness and confusion. One's most precious memories are often left behind. Confusion results from the loss of familiarity and a sense of having little or no ties to a new place. Sometimes, the changing of homes may be quite devastating, but eventually overcome or in the worst case, the uprooting could cause a lifelong disappointment and result in a loss of feeling of a sense of belonging which is a key to living a full life. The people of the former towns of New Bordeaux, Petersburg, and the Ridge community were all too familiar with the feelings of hopelessness. Although these people faced great challenges and hardships, they are quite heroic because many were able to accept the devastating changes, but eventually moved on and hopefully found a new "place" while never forgetting their past.
