    SIMILARITIES AND DISSIMILARITIES BETWEEN FROGS AND TOADS. Most people find it very difficult to differentiate between a frog and a toad. They often mix them up. Their physical features are very much alike. The physical distinctions‚ however‚ can easily get blurred because sometimes the features appear mixed or less obvious‚ and certain species even legitimately fall into both categories. Although frogs and toads seem similar in appearance‚ they are very different on the basis of origin

    The Fair As a younger child‚ my family would make annual trips to the County Fair in Albany. My parents would go to see all the neat exhibits and other “grown up things”‚ as I as a child called them. My main enjoyment of the fair when I was younger was the fair rides and junk food. My view of the fair when I was little was one filled with wonderment and awe. The screams fading in and out as people shot up in the air on rickety fair rides and the greasy sweet smell that filled the air and made

    Anna Wilkerson from the 4-H Club quoted “There’s something that feels so all-American about a County Fair.” The creaking of the rides‚ the mouthwatering aromas‚ scrumptious foods‚ and the wonderful sights all around.

    “A Childs Grave‚ Hale County Alabama” “Child’s Grave‚ Hale County Alabama” struck me with excellent imagery. The poem has an outstanding portrayal of exactly how difficult times were during the Depression. At first glance this poem could simply be about a man burying his child. But I believe it is much more than that‚ also a descriptive depiction of average families struggles during this historical rough spot for this country. It is easy for modern American’s to take for granted all of the advantages
