Semester Persuasive Essay#5

24. Some people prefer to live in the quiet of the country, others prefer the hustle and bustle of the city. Which do you think is the better choice? State your position and support it with specific reasons and examples.

Have you ever been to the city where there is a whole lot of noise and there are a whole lot of people that surround you? Or have you been to the country where there almost total quietness every time you are there and there are not as many people there? Most people would prefer the hustle and bustle of the city. Although the country allows you to see the night sky perfectly and is quiet, I believe that the city is better to live in because you would be sort of safe, more prepared for the world, and you would have more things to do for fun.
The city would be a lot safer than the country because even though crime is higher in the cities, you would be able to reach help faster. Let us just say that you were wandering in the country, you were all alone, you do not own a cell phone and you are nowhere near your house or your neighbor’s house. You fell and deeply cut your thigh when you tried to jump out of the tree. There would not be any help nearby close enough to help you, since the houses are so spread apart. On the other hand, if you in a city like New York, you would be able to find help immediately because there is always someone there to help you not to bleed to death.
You would be more prepared for the world when you live in the city because you are surrounded by many and different people. When you finally go into the work force, there are going to be people who are different who you are going to have to deal with. If you are going to have a job in finances, you are going to require working in an office of some type. In the city, you have those opportunities to work at those kinds of places since they would be closer to your home. If you lived in the city, there would not be any opportunities that you would be able to take to learn how to coup in the corporate world.
The city also has more fun things than the country. In the city you could go to your malls, your fairs, your water and theme parks, your ice skating rinks, roller skating rinks, your movie theaters, and your museums. Even though the country may have a few of these things, they do not have all of them. You cannot possibly have a much fun in the country than in the city. It is also more fun because the city has more people in it, so that means that there could have more people having fun at the same time instead of just three or four people.
In conclusion, the city is better to live in than the country. The city has more safety regarding your health, a better view of the corporate world, and more fun. If a city has all of this and the country does not have all of it, I know I would rather stay in the city where I already am. You should live in the city, it is for the best!
