COUNTRY VERSES CITY Living in the country usually is portrayed in writings and in the movies as serene and relaxing. Country folk are described as polite, helpful and the type of people that you could borrow a cup of sugar from.

All seems to perfect. There are no people sharing your dwelling. Just you and your family are living there in peace and harmony with no neighbors living above or below. There is never the sound of a single young man above you working out and lifting weights late at night with his music blaring. No sounds of him jumping rope above you to the degree that you just know the ceiling is going to come down. Nor is there a family of many children living below you with a husband and wife shouting at each other at the same time shouting at their children for doing whatever it is that is irritating their parents at the time. There is no infant crying every two hours throughout the night either. Just peaceful sounds of the children playing ball in the back yard, mother cooking dinner in the kitchen and father reading the paper in his recliner as Rover
