The Village by the Sea - Original Writing Yesterday was a usual day for everybody. Nothing great really happened. But, for me it was not an ordinary day. Yesterday, Hari, the boy I had met a few months ago left back to go to his village Thul. I had met him one sunny afternoon. I was busy mending my watches when he came out of Jagu's eating house next door, called Sri Krishna eating house, to throw the garbage. That was the time I first met him and he seemed to be a very quiet and shy village boy to me. I thought he was from Jagu's village so I asked him but he, very excitedly, told me that he had come from a village near Alibaug called Thul. I had never heard of Thul before but while speaking about it to me he seemed to be very excited and happy. His eyes were telling me that he was excited. I gathered that he was missing his village a lot. He told me on his own that a watchman had brought him to the eating house and he had stayed to work. He seemed to be lonely and longed for somebody to talk to, and I seemed to be the first person. To me he seemed to be a very innocent and nice boy. He asked me where the post office was and he posted a postcard to his family in his village. He was very hard working and he never spent his money by seeing movies. He was a simple boy. One evening when I was working till late, Hari suddenly came out of the eating house. I asked him weather he was unwell but then I realized that he must be missing the cool night breeze of his village inside the hot and stuffy eating house. I told him to go to the park which was around the corner and sleep. He later had told me that it was much cooler in the park and had thanked me for my advice. Before the rainy season had begun, one hot afternoon I remember that

The Europeans changed the land of the home of the Indians, which they renamed New England. In Changes in the Land, Cronon explains all the different aspects in how the Europeans changed the land. Changing by the culture and organization of the Indians lives, the land itself, including the region’s plants and animals. Cronon states, “The shift from Indian to European dominance in New England entailed important changes well known to historians in the ways these peoples organized their lives, but it also involved fundamental reorganizations less well known to historians in the region’s plant and animal communities,” (Cronon, xv). New England went through human development, environmental and ecological change from the Europeans.
Society tends to encourage virtuous qualities such as kindness, patience and optimism, indeed, these are virtuous qualities that could make up potential leaders and role models. But, the irony is that in some circumstances virtues can become a hindrance not just to yourself, but the people around you as well.
