No Place Like Home Answers

Green Valley being as much as a verb as a noun means that it is a place that is "in the process of becoming what it purports to be." Green Valley is becoming a community the is affluently designed, clean, and orchestrated by the American Nevada Corporation.

Guterson's tone is calm and confident. He knows what he's talking about and describes what wants to say very well.

Suburbs are safe depending on the environment. If the environment is nice, pretty, and calm, then most of the people there have a better chance at being the same. If the environment is bad, unclean, and looks rusty and poor, it could be dangerous.

Is the T Train more than a ride?


The T Train is an eloquent and functional vehicle that's designed to take UT students and other pedestrians to certain areas around UT's campus. But is it more than just a ride? The T Train is a reliable and safe vessel for anyone traveling UT's campus. It supports anyone who needs a ride, including handicapped people. There are many of them out on campus and continue taking people to wherever they need to go throughout the week. They also represent the campus with their big orange colors and the University of Tennessee signs and logos.

Dear Wes,

Hey man. My Labor Day weekend was pretty fun. I got my six-string bass fixed (finally!)
and I was able to find Guitar Center and Bestbuy. I mostly learned some songs and hung out with friends whenever I had spare time. Funny email u sent me by the way. I also watched the ballgame at the AGR house. I know they didn't accept me as a member but they still don't mind having me around. I also met a few girls there too. I was pissed off about how the special teams played and the offense sucked during the 2nd half. The defense was great though. They made 4 interceptions! I also heard 2 new Metallica singles, My Apocloypse and Cyanide, and they are amazing! Death Magnetic will be out a week from Friday. It's almost here! Can't wait! Well have fun with Dana and I'll talk to you later.

From, William



Dear Daddy Mac,

Hey! Haven't seen you in a few weeks. Well, I'm enjoying myself in Knoxville and making the most of my time. I know where my classes are now so don't worry. I'm making a lot of new friends and making some progress with my studies. I bet you watched the football game Monday night. I was mad about it too. I feel worse for your Razorbacks though. But I hope that all is well that you have a nice day and I'll visit you again soon.

Love, William

Assignment 2: Comparing PSA Videos

These videos were made to simply point out that drugs are bad for you and your brain. But the videos were made in different times and have different effects. The video from the 80s was made with the simple message that drugs are bad for you and your brain and nothing more. The tone was dull and the commerical was cheap. The video from the 90s made a better and stronger point than the 80s video did and it had more to it. The 90s video mostly focused on heroin, but Rachel was able to reveal how terrible heroin is by showing her frustration over it. She destroys everything in the kitchen with her anger toward heroin. While she did that, she explained that heroin makes you lose your self-respect and affects your family, friends, children, money, etc. Both videos used an egg as a brain, but each video did something different with it. The 80s egg was boiled while the 90s egg was smashed by a frying pan. Both made good points, but because of Racheal dymanic anti-drug kitchen smashing scene, the video from the 90s would be more effective in stopping drug use than the 80s video.
