Odyssey Part B - Content Paragraph - Women

When I look into the Orange Groves i see alot of trees and big bright oranges. It's really pretty and i also imagine myself running through the groves and i also imagine myself picking oranges. There is nothing more beautiful than just a field full of oranges that smell and taste good and sweet. Many people use the orange groves like an escape and to awol. If you really think about it, it's something that you can see and it can also help you relax. I hear the sounds of the trees and leafs blowing. I feel well and relaxed when i'm near the groves. There was a house in between so we can run to when were mad and irritated. Getting to live among these trees it makes me feel special and alive.
