THE SOUTH
The south can be defined in many ways depending on the persons feelings
toward it and that of which they have experienced. To me the south has to be the best
place to live in all the United States.
One of the things that stick out in my head about my beloved birthplace that will
never be forgotten, because theyre held so dear to my heart, are the smiling faces that
you see everywhere you look. Im telling you; people here are so nice that you would be
lucky to find someone rude towards you within a weeks period. That can only be best
described just as plain ole southern hospitality. I mean the dialect of all the southerners
is so comforting, it just reassures you that your plenty welcome all the time. The thing
that gets me and always makes me appreciate the southerners lingo is the great analogies
used by them. Seriously, For every situation you can think of theres got to be about five
southern phrases used to describe that very thing.
Another thing that defines the south is its culture. Where else can you find a
garage sell at every turn. I mean where else is there a state park that hosts a gathering of
country folk to sell all there junk to another southerner who in turn will be right back at
that same place with a stand of their own trying to get rid of the dang thing they bought
just a few weeks ago. The funny thing is, if you ever decided to take a drive through the
south, you would probably mistake some southerners land as a yard sell or junkyard for
that matter. Most southerners arent surprised when they see theyre friends yard covered
with old tires, rusty cars, broken chairs, and all of these things just swallowed in 3 foot of
grass that hasnt been cut since little Bo wrecked the tractor used to bush hog the thick
stuff. I mean theres just no telling what you might find in that very grass. All
southerners love wearing boots and I can surely see why, because every yard you walk
through youll soon stub your toe on just about anything from a old toilet to some scrap
