Essay title: Narrative
Although there is a lovely beauty in Houston Texas and Bangs Texas, there are also distinctions which allow each place to stand on its own. I have opinions of the places I have lived. Each place has its differences, and I am not sure if there is any place that really fits me well. These two places are day and night to each other, yet, they are only four hours away from one another. They are different in the variety of cultures, population, and pollution levels.
I was born in Houston Texas, and I lived there for a great part of my life. I consider it to be my hometown, and I treasure many of the memories I have form there. I like the people and places in Houston . You can meet all kinds of people from different races in Houston, which I like. Anywhere from Asian, Philippine, African, Peurto Rican, African American, and many more. Some of my best friends were African American. You can literally drive around Houston, in one minute find yourself in a community the will make you feel that you are visiting Asia, and the next minute you will find yourself traveling through Mexico. There is so much variety and diversity in Houston that someone can sometimes confuse races, for example: Chinese people and Japanese people. They may have some similarities, but are still very different races.
There are many variety of cultures in Houston. It’s not like this in Bangs Texas, I believe you can get more variety at Kentucky Fried Chicken. There are two races in that town. You have your White people, and you have your Hispanic people. There is no African American, Asian, Philippine, or any other races in that town. It doesn’t have anything to do with discrimination, there is just no other race that resides in that town. So I had to make new friends with all the White boys and girls. Nothing is wrong with that, just that there were few Hispanics that reside in the town. All the Hispanics were my friends as well. The variety of cultures is very limited in Bangs. It was White and Hispanic, that was it.
One thing that I hated about Houston was the population. The city just has too many people packed into too little space. Its many buildings are packed closely together, and this just makes the overcrowding problem worse. I remember one time my family and I went to a restaurant in the city and we had to wait an hour to get a table. Then we had to wait another hour to get our food, good thing that we got over the long period of time talking to each other. The bad part of the wait was that when we finally got our meal it had seemed that it had been sitting there for a bit. We did not complain about it because if we did we would have probably of had to wait another to get our meal.
In Bangs, you will never have the problem of a place being overcrowded. The place where my father lives now, all his neighbors live about a 1.5 miles away. In this town, you can go to a restaurant,
