I could see this just walking through the Dust bowl on the way to class, it seemed that everyone was so preoccupied, and they speed through with tension in their eyes, making a mental list of all the numerous things they have to do. I personally, like to notice all the pretty faces around me, or the gothic buildings. Yet, this way of life is not unique to BC, it also lurks in the streets of Boston. I feel that I ve been transported to an alternative world. The harsh sounds of horns, aggressive drivers and the clutter of shoes on the hard pavement drown out the songs of wandering pigeon.
People come walking by as if they re in a marathon, or at least they re practicing.
Cement covers the ground, steel and brick buildings block out the sun, cigarette butts lay about everywhere, and the wild animals are the people and the vehicles they drive. Everything is busy, busy, busy, and all seem preoccupied with a million worries of their own. Another thing I ve noticed about Boston is a difference in the way people drive. The way people drive here is just torturous to their automobiles, not to mention anyone that happens to be around them. The aggression is easily spotted as people hit the gas in a race to reach a red light and then slam the brakes as to not cross out into the intersection.
