In Lahrmer’s essay she explains how life in general, living in the suburbs being surrounded by many different people and animals is appeasing. Living in a small community has its ups and downs but one thing remains constant throughout the year and that is the amiability of everyone in the community. Lahrmer's positive outlook on her community opposes Gates' beliefs of suburbs greatly. The two writers' opinions are completely opposite however Lahrmer's essay is more appeasing when she explains the typical suburb community simply because of the positive attitude and outlook she maintains in her writing. Lahrmer’s description of the suburbs seems more positive and lively, therefore it is easier to follow and understand rather than the jumbled assortment of paragraphs of Gates' writing.
The photo of the cul-de-sac community b.b.q., taken by Bill Owens, in the middle of the street displays happiness and joy of all in this small community. This is my favorite picture because of this simple reason as well as what it reminds me of the spring. In my small town after the cold dark winter weather has cleared and the sun is shining vibrantly on my back porch is when all of this occurs in my neighborhood, more specifically at the different baseball fields I play at. Lahrmer would love these photographs because they would support her positive reasoning for liking suburbs in her essay. Just as Bill Owens would appreciate the generous explanations of the common suburb that Lahrmer gives in her short essay. I admire both of these peoples' work because of their positive outlook on life and the way they both try to express the importance of a small community and the comradery amongst its inhabitants.
