What I like most is that my grandma still lives there amongst her friends and still pays low income rent. I feel like the city did not abandon their residents. This is why I think the New London v Kelo case in the end would be a win situation for all parties. My Aunt now owns a home and everyone is happy. I know having your property taking away from you sounds horrible but depending on the situation it can turn out to be a positive.

No offense to God in saying so.” And his grandfather who was equally fond of a joke, used to add: “I only hope he will not lose it, as he grows bigger, like tadpoles do their tails!” The word ‘tip-cat’ have more than one meaning, depends on the reader what ‘tip-cat’ means. The sentence he grows bigger is also have more than one meaning, what grows bigger? The body or something else • Often at their village dances, he had heard young fellows boasting about girls whom they had seduced, and praising such and such a young fellow, and often, also, after a dance, he saw the couples go away together, with their arms round each other’s waists. They had no suspicions of him, and he listened and watched, until, at last, he discovered what was going on.
You may have gathered by now that we were poor, but not just money poor. Both of my parents were alcoholics, and my mother being a mean drunk. There was no physical abuse, unless, I reckon, you count hunger pains, but it was more that she would say mean things. In retrospect I suppose I looked a lot like my father, whom she loved dearly when she was sober, but seemed to hate when she was drunk. Don’t get me wrong, I loved both my parents very much and was especially close to my father, when he was sober.
Even though America’s youth is enjoying the cold weather, the lives of local adults seem less exciting it’s as if they are just counting down the days until the beloved summer season has arrived. Summer is the exact opposite of winter. It is bright, shiny and warm, much like the attitude of the community. When it is summer time, everyone is bright and cheery, even the fun-sucking adults. Spirits are high and everyone, including adults, is enjoying their lives.

Upon watching Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey I couldn’t help but notice some differences between the character I had imagined from reading the book and the character portrayed by actor Martin Freeman. Bilbo Baggins is introduced to the reader in the very first chapter An Unexpected Party as a seemingly typical hobbit; he loves food, his pipe and the comforts of his home in Bag End. Bilbo is a Baggins who are considered “very…respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected” (12). However, there is more to Bilbo than meets the eye as he is also part Took who are “not entirely hobbitlike” (13) due to their knack for adventure. Initially the movie portrays Bilbo accurately when he encounters Gandalf the wizard and politely declines his suggestion for an adventure, “Sorry!
He is the son of Tomas and Ramona Cabrera, and the last child of eight siblings. He grew up in a very poor and humble family as Jose Luis stated, “Eramos una familia pobre y humilde.”1 Although they had a poor household, they were also a very happy and united family as they all looked after one another. He tells that his father gave everyone the reponsability of looking after one another, and when the older siblings would go out with friends it was the younger brothers and sisters who would wait for them to get home in order for everyone to go bed. It was a mutual love and affection between siblings, “Eramos la pandilla de la cuadra, no creo que havia otros hemanos como nosotros. Nuestra convivencia era unica y eso se le devemos a nuetros padres que nos ensenaron a amarnos y a respetarnos entre nosotros.”2 noted Mr. Cabrera.
Tom and Daisy have a respectable relationship because of Tom’s extremely wealthy background, but this isn’t the case for Gatsby, as later on in the book, Gatsby and Daisy realise they still have an unattainable love for one another, but the fact Daisy has stayed with Tom, which suggests she’s in a comfortable life. Inside their luxurious house, inside Daisy lounges with her friend Jordan Baker, a professional golfer.

Tom has brought a flat in New York for him and Myrtle so that Daisy won’t find out, Tom and Myrtle’s flat could be a sense of place that is suggestive of Myrtle’s character.
