'true beauty lies in our natural environment'

Introduction

Man can create or develop many structures and settlements but the God given creation still remains to be of greater aesthetic value. This is according to the short story, Sandra street by Michael Anthony.

Body

i) Sandra street is so different from the other streets beyond- it is quiet and runs straight up to the forests. The other side of the town is noisy with the horrible noises of steel bands.

ii) Good friendly. Women come out of shops and do not pass each other without stopping to talk. During the day, all was very quite except perhaps for the voice of one neighbor calling to another. The other side of town has high walls cramping the imagination.

iii) Overcrowding. Sandra street stood away from the profusion of houses. Sandra street means so much to the narrator. The other side out of town is made up of gaudy houses with gates like prisons. The milling crowd with faces impersonal as stone.

iv) Natural environment is productive/ peaceful/ products mangoes. Fowls lie in the shadows of the houses. The river and the hills. The leaves of the cocoa gleam with the moisture of the rains. There are bananas.
