I am not from New York, so this was not one of the sites I learned about in history class. I enjoyed visiting the street though, and I learned a lot. The inside of the houses in general were very different than what we are used to. They are not made for tall people because in every house I had to duck. In the earlier houses, they were very small, expanded outwards instead of building up.
The town was described as a “temporary terminal of the Union Pacific Railroad.” It was customary for the Union Pacific Railroad to set up small towns that consisted of tents and portable housing for its workers along the railway. By the time that the town died out it hadn’t even been there for half a year (Doc. 4). In the case of Green River City, within a few days of the town’s conception they had already drafted up a set of laws. As a result, Green River City was not nearly as violent as Benton was.
Chapter 2 begins the same way as the first-without people. Steinbeck contrasts the world of nature and the world of men by shifting the natural setting of chapter 1 to the bunkhouse in chapter 2. The bunkhouse is sparsely furnished with just the essentials of a bunk and a place to put gear. Tension is quickly built without exposition as the atmosphere is immediately hostile and uncomfortable. The beds are small and worn, "the walls [are] white washed and the floor unpainted.."(19).
The buildings are much smaller, older with dingy lighting, broken down desk, falling plaster, old radiator heaters, and broken air condition units, little to no ventilation, broken windows, overcrowded, and many distractions. For example, suburban schools are larger and have separate spaces for assemblies and lunch. Inner-city schools are so small that there are no auditoriums and school assemblies are normally held in the gym or classroom. Also, the cafeteria is too small to accommodate students during their lunch break and students have to eat lunch in their classrooms. Lane 2 Another way in which suburban schools are better is the state of the art technology.

The most common shape in Inca architecture was the rectangular building without any internal walls and roofed with wooden beams and thatch. Inca architecture is widely known for its fine masonry, which features precisely cut and shaped stones closely fitted without
More scuffling, and there came a dull crunching sound and Jem screamed. Characterization- Atticus lawing for African-Americans as had I, and I took it for granted that he kept his temper, he had a naturally tranquil disposition and a slow fuse. Mood- The back of the Radley house was less inviting than the front, a ramshackle porch ran the width of the house, and there were two doors and two dark windows between the doors. Instead of a column, a rough two-by-four supported one end of the roof. An old Franklin stove sat in a corner of the porch; above it a hat-rack mirror caught the moon and shone eerily
He had a deep and dim voice and offered to show me around the settlement. I willingly accepted. He first began to show me the homes in the settlement. The homes were not very large, pretty much suitable for a small family, a large family would not enjoy a small home. The walls were wattle-and-daub walls and the roofs were thick and thatched.
Life revolves around religious beliefs. Unlike other societies, there are no fancy churches in which to hold services. Instead, services are held inside farmhouses or barns. Most importantly, “Religion is practiced, not debated” (Kraybill, 2012). Family and community ties are strong, supporting one another in times of need instead of relying on government assistance during hard spells.
A peasant's home was one story and was made of two to three rooms. Walls were made of either mud or clay, straw covered the roof, and dirt was packed down on the floors. Often a storage house and housing for the animals. Furnishings in the home were seldom. Usually a family owned only a few stools, a table and a chest for storing clothes.
