Mrs. Huffman's Math Class
New Providence
My main focus was the setting. I saw a dirt road in 1875. Then a brick road in 1910. After that I saw a cement road in 1935. Next was cement roads covered in frost in 1955. Then in 1970 they built a plaza that took out part of the road. In 1980 the plaza is still there but there are crosswalks. Furthermore in 1990 the plaza is taken out and the road is brick and cement.
My second focus was the population in 1875 people were riding old school bicycles, and playing in the park, driving carages, watching the circus, and going to a funeral. In 1910 people were at the fountain opening, driving cars and carrages, riding the trolly, shopping in the stores, and going to Tenebo County Court. In 1935 people are at the post office, riding the trolly, driving cars, enjoying the park, and shopping. People are buying X-mas trees, playing in the snow with doggys in 1955. In 1970 people are striking against the war, walking, and driving cars. In 1980 people are B-B-Quing, walking and driving cars it is very deserted. In 1990 people are at the park, driving cars, riding the trolly and in taxis, shopping, going to the coffee shop, playing by the fountain, and going to Tenebo County Court.
My third focus was what New Providence will look in 2005, since from 1875-1955 it had lots of construction then in 1970-1980 it totally changed then in 1990 it became civilized again I think in 2005 it will become more civilized and decent than before unless there is a war, because another war like in 1970-1980 would cause a major outburst. So mainly it depends on what happens between 1990-2005.
