City life vs. Country life Some say that home is where the heart is, but what is home? For some, home is a place where they can sit on the front porch and drink sweet tea, while others see home as the place where they were raised. For me, home is where I have the most cherishable memories. After living in the city and the country, I have come to the conclusion that life in the country is where my heart is. Life in the country consists of similarities and differences than in the city, but what draws me to the country is the memories of the activities my friends and I had outside, the birthday gatherings and how we scheduled our days. There are a variety of activities you can do out in the country with your friends. In the country, you can play a sport and not be concerned about bothering a neighbor to retrieve your ball. For example, my friend and I were practicing softball in my yard and she threw the ball over my head. I could not catch the ball because it was too high, so I had to chase after it. Luckily, our neighbors were not directly beside us, so I had the freedom to run and not worry about knocking on their door to retrieve the ball. The freedom you have in your yard helps to relax you from the hustle and bustle of life. Though it’s nice to have room around you, there are inconveniences to living on acreage out in the country. One of the things my family and I learned from living in the country is that you have to plan out your trips to the store or other
Compare and Contrast There has been a lot of controversy in Washington D.C. the past couple of years. The Washington Redskins have had a tough decision whether or not they were going to start Robert Griffin III or Kirk Cousins. The two quarterbacks were drafted in the same year, 2012, but different rounds, and the only team they have both played on is the redskins, and they also were both named offensive captains. Both of them have also led the Redskins to the playoffs. However, despite all of the similarities they are quite different.
Every person has their own definition of home. In the story “The Round Walls of Home,” Dianne Ackerman is saying her home is the earth. She uses the word “round” because the earth does not have walls like normal homes, but the walls are the outside of the earth, making it round in shape. When most people describe their home they would mention the color of the walls, what sorts of belongings, and how many rooms. But, Ackerman describes her home as a, “big, beautiful, blue, wet ball.”
How do you describe the characteristics and requirements of a real “home”? In the Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver, the outspoken and bold character known as Leah Price experiences a major rift between her family and former American homelife that leads her to transfer her obsessions over acceptance by her father to the conflict within the Congo and her lover, Anatole. Leah’s failure to receive the approval from her father through religious excellence and prestige along with the death of her youngest sister, Ruth May, led her to resent the ideals and oppressive hand that her father had implemented since her birth. Anatole’s evident acceptance and admiration of Leah’s individuality allowed Leah to feel fulfilled in her need for acceptance by a
For me, the South was so different from the laid-back pace of Honolulu but, in some ways, they had a lot in common. Savannah, GA has beaches and islands scattered near it 's coastline. Hawaii and Georgia each are obsessed with their regional fruits. Both places are filled with military servicemen and their families. Needless to say, I don 't feel like I truly have a "hometown" but, instead, I can make any town my home.

However, the positive attributes of home outweigh it’s negatives in its definition; therefore home is a place where individuals feel secure financially and emotionally. Even if a person lives in poverty, they learn to make the best of it. For example, Jeannette and her family move
Even when mentioning home, it does not exist: “ “What’s up, Kat?...” “I wish I were back home." Home--he means the huts.” (31) Instead of home being where their families are, it has become the familiar war housing.
Home is where we are allowed to speak our mind. Home is where we are safe to do so. Every human wants a home like that and every American wants the United States to be that place- even Mr. Trump and his supporters. Everyone wants to be satisfied. Everyone wants happiness.
The first value that makes home feel like a home is a sense of privacy. People need to feel that they don’t have to worry about someone constantly being in their personal space it incites a feeling of
Anna states, “Home is where the heart is. There’s no place like
Home is My Life Burden Home. An alternative life kept from the outside world. Behind closed doors, it can be filled with tension but others may see happiness. Life outside my home is my escape from the anxiety that’s built from within the walls of what is called my home. But now, it’s not fully a family with just me and my mother.
At first glance, a "house" and a "home" are the same words. Both describe a place where someone lives, but with a deeper look at the words, we find that a house is simply just a building. A home is much more complicated than that. It is filled with objects and memories, which grow and change along with the family inside of it. Home is a place we come back to after a long day's work, the place where we go to seek shelter and protection.
Everyone holds a place in their heart where they find themselves the happiest, the most comfortable, and the most themselves. What is your special place? One place where I find I can clear my mind and let go of everything is the cold setting of the Rim Park volleyball courts. The countless hours that I spend within the complex remind me of what I have been through during provincials, and reminds me of the many things that contribute to make my special place a whole. When I reflect on the place I love most, there are many characteristics that bring it all together and make my place so unique.
A city is a good place to continue the further education and to find a suitable job. A city can provide government facilities to its people which makes easy to sustain the life and to perform the task. In addition, the city may be regarded as a relatively permanent concentration of population, together with its diverse habitations, social arrangements, and supporting activities. Cities might differ in cultural aspects and from other types of human settlement and association. Today I am comparing and contrasting my hometown, Kathmandu and the city I am living in, Colorado.
Village life is more peaceful than the city. Villages are calmer, less stressful and have a quiet environment. There are no noise and rush. Other areas of difference between life in rural and urban area is education.
