Blog Prompt: I rather be a city rat than the country rat

There are many pros and cons of either side. I know many of you would choose to be a city rat. However, after weighing the pros and cons, I would like to be a country rat.

A city rat lives in an environment that is very noisy and lively. The city is also the place where you can earn more money and fame. The country has a very tranquil atmostphere. You can live in the country with light hearts and be happy-go-lucky. However, there are many problems you face in the city. (e.g loss of jobs)

In the country, you may be jobless, but carry on living. You can just plant any vegetables you want. It is an agricultural place. The country can actually be quite interesting. I have been to Perth before and it was a amazing experience for me. I was able to milk cows and even pluck apples from trees.

In conclusion, if you seek power, fame and abundance of money, you should be a city rat. If you seek a carefree life, tranquil atmostphere and you love nature, you should be a country rat. I choose the latter.

Please comment.

  1. I agree with Joel'thought.For me, I would also choose to be a country rat because the life in country is hard but enjoyable.The people in country are very kind and friendly.However,in city,the air condition is poor and we do not trust each other.We are fear to talk to strangers.This would not happen in country.People in country are united.They just like a whole family.
