My Mother's Hometown
Livny is the town my mother was born in, and my husband and I try to visit several times a year. This town is rather small and has a dismally low population. However, I like this place. There are a lot of things to do in such a small town. There is the River, several parks, the ancient church. But my favorite part is undoubtedly the Adamov’s Mill. This place which dates back to the 1870s is actually the one to go for young people who believes in supernatural. There is a legend that the mill’s owner hung himself after unsuccessful launch of the Mill. Since that day the merchant’s ghost is roaming around this gloomy awesome building. They say that many people can hear muted voices, shrill whistle and shrill screams there.
Livny is the industrial town. A typical morning starts by 7:00a.m and the loud roaring of the cars getting people to their jobs, the sound of the dishes getting to ready to cook breakfast, the hungry loud dogs barking at the people passing by will distract you from your sleep. The smell of fresh cooked toasts will make you get up and see what else is there to eat.
Anyway, this town is really nice. It’s rather old, more than 400 years old, and the architecture is quite interesting with a number of ancient monuments. There are a lot of houses built at the end of the nineteenth century. When you walking along the central street, which is one of the oldest, you can feel like you went back in the last century.
Finally, this is a place where everyone is smiling and ready to help. I spent my childhood there that is why I love it. So, I think this area is worthy of

    Then, she tells us how suddenly the change among this town. A mood of darkness created a curtain around the town. Wildlife sickened or died by sudden illness and the farms were infertile. People became ill that doctors were puzzling. The birds disappeared. The hens hardly hatch chicks. There are no bees to pollinate among plants and trees, so there is no fruit. The vegetation blighted .the fish was lifeless and no one came to fish. A white powder lingers on some rooftops. Nothing attacked this town but the people themselves.…

    My unique background is being un-unique. Growing up in Highlands Ranch, Colorado as a white female I don’t have much of a unique background. I have lived in Colorado for my whole life, in the same neighborhood and same house. My whole life I have been surrounded by privileged Highlands Ranch kids. Growing up in the city known as the “Bubble”, I am rarely exposed to those with different life experiences then my own. We all have similar families, houses, and lives. For the most part we all have the same background. Because I have been surrounded by those so similar to me, I am interested in different cultures and backgrounds. I have always been very open minded to new ideas and backgrounds. The idea of different than myself intrigues me. I don’t always want to be surrounded by the same, instead I want to experience different. To experience this different, I took a roadtrip to Chicago with one of my closest friends. The windy city was nothing like the “Bubble” I was used to.…

    How do you think a modern full time language school, in which the children are willing to go with joy and do not notice how fast time passes, should look like? Undoubtedly, it should be like “My Spanish Village” in Walnut Creek. The staff here thinks that childhood is a whole era in the children’s lives, so it is important to reflect the inner world of children, inspire them and develop the desire to learn and explore Spanish culture.…

There is also many different things in the housed for whatever you may need. I find myself most comfortable in my room.

    The setting helps to create suspense throughout the story. All the murders take place in the ravine where not a single soul dares to venture out at dusk. “Lavinia looked and the ravine was a dynamo that never stopped running, night or day; there was a great moving hum, a bumbling and murmuring of creature, insect or plant life. It smelled like a greenhouse of secret vapors and ancient, washed shales and quick sands and always the black dynamo humming. With sparkles like great electricity where fireflies, moved on the air” (Bradbury 65). This is detailing what the ravine is like, day or night; when people either enjoy it or stay far from it. When it is night time, there are hardly any people out, in fear of the “lonely one”. One night, Lavinia and her two friends are going out and there is a murder. They are the only people left walking around. “The hot blue-glass eyes of the mannequins watched as the ladies drifted down the empty river bottom street, their images shimmering in windows like blossoms seen under darkly moving waters” (71). In this quote it’s showing the desertedness of the town right after the “lonely one” had taken another victim. In the day the ravine is perfectly harmless, but as the reader would have found out in a matter of time, at some point in the night the whole town…
