Description of an "Active Place" (Negative).
Tuesday of this week my english teacher, Mr. Bynum told the class to write a story about a spot on campus or somewhere that is pretty active. I chose my home in Sumner Mississippi. Sumner is a small little delta town full of old people. I went outside to take a look at my scenery, and right away an old couple walked by as they often do on their daily afternoon walks. I live on a block full of houses and things do become active quit frequently. It sometimes can become annoying. A few minutes after the old couple passed, Mrs. Bright came flying by in her Tercel, as she usually does. The way she drives can be very dangerous for all the children that live on our street. Across the street is an old oak tree that almost always has hundreds of birds in it cherping and squeaking. Sometimes they have woken me up because they have flown over around my house and can be extremely loud. To the right of the old oak tree is Mrs. Tubbs house where she is in the yard trying to set out some decorations of fake flowers and all kinds of tacky decorations.
To the left is of the old oak tree is Mr. Bears house, where he always has about six cars in his yard for sale. A young black woman is in the yard looking at one of the cars. Sometimes there are so many people over there, thier cars are up and down the road. My next door neighbor is Pam, and she has a little boy And a little girl that are in the yard playing basketball, throwing it back and forth to eachother until one of them finally throws it at the goal. Sometimes the ball will go into the street and they will go after it , and that can be very dangerous because of the cars and Mrs. Bright speeding up and down the road. .
A little while later a lady pulls into Mrs. Tubbs yard and gets and starts talking to her about something. This lady comes over frequently, I"m sure she gets sick of her coming by so regularly.
