“Life in Holcomb means lifelong friendships, security, and contentment. Everyone looks out for everyone else. Let’s stay here.”
“Life in Holcomb is isolating, limiting, boring, and lacking culture or fun. We’re moving to New York.”
You should finish up your rough draft of the social justice paper tonight. We will peer-edit these tomorrow.
