Personal Narrative: Where To Live In Florida
Despite the several hurricanes that have occurred in Florida the past couple years, I think it's safe to say that Florida can also be a pleasant place to live. With its mostly sunny weather, friendly disposition, and many exciting attractions, Florida almost doesn't seem like the type of place to have such horrific weather at times. I, personally, even after knowing so many good qualities about the sunshine state, still am not convinced that Florida would be a nice place to live. One reason for not wanting to live in Florida, besides the hurricanes, that repeatedly seem to make their way towards the innocent peninsula, is the swamps. Being so far below sea level, the majority of Florida is dreadfully swampy. Not only are the swamps a problem,

    I have always wondered why so many people love going to West Palm Beach and Tallahassee. These two cities are not a skip and hop away from each other, but they are visited by many. These cities have been around for decades and share similarities as well as differences. West Palm Beach is home of many beaches, however Tallahassee has none. What they do have in common is they both are located in Florida, and both cities have are homed to many tourist.…

    To begin, Florida known as “the sunshine state” hooks you in as soon as you enter the state. The beautiful palm trees blowing in the wind, the numerous orange groves you see from the roadside and the welcome center offering fresh squeezed orange juice makes you feel so at home. There are so many beautiful exotic looking flowers in the landscaping of homes and businesses. Of course, the warmer climate is the main attraction in Florida. The annual average high is 79F degrees and the average low is 57F degrees. Snow rarely falls in most of Florida, but has on occasion in the northern peninsula. Florida also has an abundant annual rainfall especially during the months of June through September. In addition, Florida is located between the Atlantic Ocean and The Gulf of Mexico, therefore it also has exceptionally high humidity and of course there is always a chance of hurricanes as well. Undoubtedly, both of these items are a major downfall to me.…

    Even today, Florida is a fragmented block of land, not by water or mountains as some states, instead by values and history. The old saying of “the more South you go in Florida the more North you are” has never been more true than in today’s world. But, it was not always like this, during Florida's early years and beginner start of statehood the concentration of its people was far more North. The central areas were nothing but country, and the south was untamed swamp and marsh. The old North versus South was actually East versus West; the conflicts were also far different than the normally politically charged rhetoric of today as well. Instead, what characterized the East and…

    The first place I would pick to move to is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Everyone forgets about this part of Michigan, half of the time it isn’t on the weather maps on the news. I think it would still be hard because I would have to pick up my life and transfer it to another world. At this point I understand that I would have to give up the luxuries I love so much. I would keep my phone but I cannot take my entire bedroom, my car, or my school with me. I know a lot of my family would stay put. They would suffer through it because they wouldn’t believe it until it was actually happening. My mother’s side of the family is very old fashioned and will not leave their ground because they have already been here so long and have worked so hard.…
