It is the 60’s in Jackson, Mississippi in this time era there is obvious signs of racism and segregation. Hilly Holbrook is a white privileged mother and wife of a wealthy Politian.

In the past few years, Colorado Springs has seen a substantial population increase (St. Louis-Sanchez 2014). This has led to an increase of a variety of issues. Due to the increase, one of the biggest issues is that the roads cannot handle the new volume of traffic, and the drivers that are new to the region cannot always handle the roads, particularly in the winter. While the city continues to attempt to widen the roads, this only causes more congestion and stress no matter how temporary. On top of the added hassle of construction, roads can only be expanded so much before there is not any more room. Larger roads also means a larger winter maintenance operation, more money spent filling potholes, and repaving more roads. There are three different solutions to this problem, and they all can work together and build on one another.

The underlying pavement has to be in fair or good stipulation for the chip sealing to work effectively. Large rift or exorbitant hazard in the current pavement will minimize the service life of the chip seal. If present pavement is in bad condition with potholes, deep wheel path rutting or large cracks, it must be repaired before applying the chip seal. Chip sealing is merely a surface treatment and does not add to the structural efficiency of the
