North Salem Setting Piece

North Salem is a small, but unique town, with high mountains and horse farms through out. I remember the winters when I would step outside and become engulfed by the cold, thin air. However when I took a moment and studied the outside world, the beautiful North Salem winters was uncovered. As my bus slowly drove along the windy roads, I admired the clean, not yet walked snow that lay there gently from the last snow storm. Snowmen and frozen over ponds and lakes were found almost anywhere you went. However, with all this said, the summers are what I loved most about North Salem. I remember my friends and me hanging outside every second we could, no matter how hard or long the blazing sun continuously beat down upon us. The warmth and peace from the morning sounds was unlike anything else. As people would walk through my neighborhood, dogs would bark and the birds would always follow.

Very Steinbeck-esque Stefano--in terms of content and syntax. Nice job. I look forward to reading more of your writng.

Reminds me of his East of Eden opening.
