Country Boy and a Redneck
Many people believe that a country boy and a redneck are one in its own. In fact they are very different. Stereotypes are common especially when it comes to a way people interact with each other. Country people and rednecks in societies view are looked down upon by most people. People need to be able to tell the difference between a country boy and a redneck. A country boy is simply a small town resident who works on his farm for a living. A redneck is the totally opposite of a country boy. A redneck is an uneducated and poor person living in the south and most likely works on a farm. I met a county boy once before. He was a nice man who never wanted any harm from no one. His name was George and he grew up in the hollers in Kentucky. He told me how he grew up on his family’s farm and his job was to work the farm and tend to all the animals. He said that was just the way they lived. If someone didn’t take care of the farm and animals there wouldn’t be any food for them to eat. A country boy is a hardest labor worker there is. He will work the farm all day and night if he has to. He will round up every last cattle there is because if one is left behind his work is not complete. A country boy never complains when his body is worn and tired. He will always be a provider for his family no matter what it takes.
On the other hand a redneck is the most uncivilized person there is. He will rarely shower and stink of dip. A redneck always wears the same hat which is old, raggedy, and most likely camouflage. He always wears his boots no matter what season it is. A redneck always flies the rebel flag on his lifted up truck. He always talks smack and picks fights. A redneck is uneducated most likely because he dropped out of school. As you can see there are many differences between a country boy and a redneck. A country boy will always be inferior to a redneck. Most people believe that they are the same. This is not true because the

    The first of Ralph’s good virtues is being a hard worker. Ralph loved to help his father. He was always exited about helping him with the milking and the chores. Ralph enjoyed work. His first real job was herding cows for one of his neighbors named Mrs. Corcoran. At first this job was difficult since Ralph had no experience. However, it didn’t take him long to get the hang of it. In the summer, Ralph worked for Fred Aultland, a close neighbor, by riding the stacker horse for haying his fields. Then, for the entire next summer, Ralph worked for a man named Mr. Cooper on his ranch as a hired worker. There, he herded cows, was the cook’s helper, and the water boy.

    Throughout these three articles or description of communities, the one that was very hard to understand would be "About Men" by Gretel Ehrlich. The main reasons why this article's community was very hard to understand would be because on how cowboys that were being described that was in the article was describing different people in different places so there really wasn't like a specific community to be described in this article. Also another reason would be on how different cowboys felt in specific places that Ehrlich been describing. For example, Ehrlich describes how Southerners moved to the West looking for work after the Civil War ended. He goes more in depth on how different cowboys treated women by tipping their hats and saying, "Howdy, ma'am", but still gave them the respect they needed. Ehrlich shows here how much of a difference time and war made men change the way they treated women. Also, he goes into a depth on how young cowboys weren't able to "express the complexity of what they feel" towards women. They still had "explosive emotions" and weren't able to tone it down.…

    Modern country and rock music sound similar with slight differences because of their singing styles and upbeat tempos. That raspy singing style that usually is associated with rock music, can be found in both country and rock. One difference between the singing styles is in country, the singer usually sings with a ‘southern drawl’ that country music is famous for. Brantley Gilbert, a country singer, is a prime example of this. His song ‘Kick it in the Sticks’ shows how close the two genres can be with the raspy singing, upbeat tempo, and heavy guitar. Of course he does this with that country flavor and southern drawl country music is famous for. This, of course, sets both genres apart because one does not usually hear the southern accent within rock music. Both genres have that upbeat tempo that makes the listener want to get up and ‘rock out’. The way the drums are played varies between the different music styles because of how differently it is set up. Country may have different instruments added to the drum assembly than rock, like the cow bell for example. The cow bell is something that usually is not found in the rock drums accompaniment. Even though they can sound alike with the singing styles and upbeat tempos there are considerable differences, therefore showing how the two genres are generally similar as well as their differences.…

    We grew up in different parts of the States, Huck is from the Southeast and I the Southwest. The difference in era is also a huge factor. Huck was alive when slavery was still considered an acceptable practice, while in today’s world, it is outlawed and opposed by the general population. Because he was around back then, Huck viewed it as more acceptable than how I do. I don’t think it is morally correct in any way, shape, or form. That is one of the key factors that make us differ, I believe.…

    Senator William Blakely once said, “Texas is neither southern nor western. Texas is Texas.” Although this well-stated quote exemplifies the pride that Texans have for their home state, the blanket proclamation is one that fails to distinguish the unique characteristics found in nearly every region of the Lone Star state. A quote that offers a much more accurate description and distinguishes the diversity of each region was made by the professional golfer Lee Trevino when he stated, “If you’ve ever driven across Texas, you know how different one area of the state can be from another. Take El Paso. It looks as much like Dallas as I look like Jack Nicklaus.” The quote is a metaphor that juxtaposes the characteristics shared between El Paso and Dallas to the physical similarities shared between Jack Nicklaus, one of the most successful golfers of all time, and Lee Trevino, a highly decorated Mexican-American golfer.…

    The values among rural and urban cultures have similarities and differences. Values are based on “beliefs of a person or social group in which they have an emotional investment (either for or against something)", according to “Webster” (2012). A pure rural family lives within a much smaller populated area than a pure urban family. Rural families tend to have closer ties to the community because it is a less populated area. Urban families that live in a city have a tendency to spend less time at community functions because they are generally not as close knit. Rural families rely on the value system passed down to them from their ancestors and they place these values and beliefs high on their importance level.…

    The mixture of compassion, honesty, integrity, and bluntness that they displayed cause people to view them with honor which in turn is most likely responsible for their popularity. The qualities of a cowboy (however real they might actually be) are important to America as a nation because they symbolize what most people believe are the traits of the true American spirit—strength, independence, and self-reliance. In essence, it tells us that ideally we want to possess these qualities just like a cowboy since they were sort of the fundamental principals that the country was founded on. The days of the Wild West are over, however the spirit does live on through the legend of the cowboy who can be viewed as the great American…
