These diagrams, made in 1855 by cartographer J. H. Colton, show the relative sizes of islands and lakes around the world.
my teacher could give me a year to do an assignment and ill still end up doing it the night before
Having been lucky enough to travel on numerous roads like this last summer, I'm pretty sure I remember being genuinely and irrationally afraid of this exact thing happening. I have no clue why.
Just something to think about:
"Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." - Carl Sagan
as seen here in katherines and paper towns, you are very opinionated on subdivisions. what are your feelings about them and why?
I really hated subdivisions as a teenager because to me they represented sameness and the bloated, intellectually disengaged, wretchedly average 21st century America.
I felt like all these identical houses were architectural crimes committed against the land, and like we would pay for our crimes with these stretched out, sprawling cities that human beings of the future would see as proof of the insanity that accompanied our national prosperity.
Now I live in that very suburbia. So….yeah.
I don´t believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now
