Response to "Chicken Sunday" by Patricia Polacco

Is the community in “Chicken Sunday” a place you’d like to live?

I would love to live in a community like the one in the book “Chicken Sunday”. Community is much more than the geographical space where you live in. It is the people that you share that community with. A community is not a community unless there is good rapport among the neighbors, the children playing outside together. Earlier today we were having a conversation at my table about the construction of the new cowboy’s stadium. Someone at the table had lived for a long time in Arlington and felt that the building of the stadium could have an impact or even take away Arlington’s sense of community. So, what is it about a city that makes you want to reside there? It is the sense of community.
