The cooler temperature of America damaged Kunta's physical condition slowing him down and negatively impacting his health. "Kunta was nearly numb with cold when the rolling box turned suddenly off the main road… legs crashing through frosted stalks of cotton." Kunta had never experienced this type of weather considering he was accustomed to Africa’s bearing sun and warm temperatures. The plants and geographic layout of America were foreign to Kunta providing as another disadvantage when he tried to escape. "The thorny brambles and vines of the brush at the edge of the forest seemed to reach out and tear at Kunta's legs."
As Bobby keeps walking toward the house more imagery is presented. "A gravel rake lay rusting in the driveway; the lawn was parched and shabby" (206). This shows the advancement of time and how time has affected the Clutter home like it would any other home. The rust on the rake and the condition of the lawn show the reader that time is advancing like normal. These show how time advances.
Behind that are 3000 Field Champion seats, which were sold for $250 a game this year as part of seasons tickets. The Yankees raised $1.2 billion in tax-exempt bonds and $136 million in taxable bonds. The cost of the Yankee stadium is a total of $ 4 billion; inclusive of potential property tax over the 40 year deal. Neil DeMause, the co-author of field schemes, estimates the total cost of the Yankee stadium at more than $2 billion counting the price of land, garages, demolition of the old stadium and parks to replace those given up for the new site. He estimates the total public costs for both ballparks at $1.8 billion.
In 1987, the City of Santa Ana closed down the museum, to reopen as a totally new and transformed building. In October 1992, the Bowers Museum opened its 63,000-squard-foot facility which is six times larger than the original museum, and can hold up to a crowd of over 17,000 people. On February 18, 2007, the Bowers Museum, went through a second expansion, and have opened the new Dorothy and Donald Kennedy Wing. In the company of the extended new wing, the museum added a new 30,000 square feet room, and has doubled its exhibition space; the museum constructed a 300-seat auditorium, and created an indoor space to host events that can hold up to 500 people. As I was standing outside the museum, I could see that the entrance towards the museum was almost like the front entrance of a small-sized Catholic Church.
With a 26 million dollar project, Reitz celebrated its 80th anniversary in 1998 with its whole new look that makes it the largest and most advanced high school structure in Evansville.

At Reitz we felt the effects of the war first hand with the death of soldier whom was very close in the Reitz Community.
By all means it was a deep crack, immediately making me think it was naturally caused by the heat from the occasional days of premature spring weather. The strain of kneeling was getting too much for my god damn knee so I walked over to the little park bench facing the bridge on the right side of the pond. It was a phoney thing to say I walked; the truth is every person who has reasonable vision would describe it as a droopy limp. My hands felt the icy sting of the metal on the bench that had fallen victim to winters bitter-artic temperatures. It was a moronic thing to not wear gloves out in this weather, especially this time of night.
Kristine Rojas Mrs.Gecaj English 9 October 20, 2012 Final Chapter Assignment The late afternoon had come, it seemed like a long day for George. The cold fall wind whistling through the Sycamore trees, as they shook backs forth likes waves. The leaves were scattered all around on the hard and dark dirt floor. It looked like a endless rainbow that disappeared into the horizon. The golden red leaves were spread out perfectly making sure every square inch was covered.
To describe the smell would be an impossible task but with the dead bodies rotting in shallow graves and lying out in the open in no mans land, the smell of gunpowder, cigarette smoke, mud, and the gas that lingers for a few days after an attack might give you an idea of how bad it is. They say we will get used to the smell over time but it feels like it will never leave us at the moment. The smell also attracts rats and they are everywhere you look. Some of them are as big as Coda our cat. I shaved all my hair
Reading the Field I hate to sweat! When I think of going outside in the summer I cringe. I can feel the beads of water running down my face into my eyes and inevitably blinding me. Yes, I sweat that bad. It may be because of living in the south where the humidity always feels like it is ninety-nine percent or it may be hereditary, thanks mom and dad; either way I loathe sweating.
Pros of living in the country, you are not hearing young kids riding around on skateboards jumping off rails and trashing the sidewalks. A huge aspect of living farther from the city is the high rate of crime. Symbolic interactionist perspective is the views society as a product of everyday social interactions of individuals. So some symbols of the country are farmers for example who dress with tight jeans, cowboy boots, a raggedy t-shirt, arms and face all dirty and sweaty from
