Autobiography 3

Southerners are known for their southern hospitality. I came from a town that has a nickname "Small Town Friendly" so southern hospitality is quite common in this area. Neighbors are constantly cooking for one another or just stopping by to check in. People always open doors for one another or help each other with unpacking groceries. Whatever people can do to help, they do. I've grown up around this so I'm quite used to people who are interested in other people's lives. However, I can see how this would be quite strange to someone who is not from around here. It would seem like everyone is nosy. Here, a person is considered rude if they don't show this hospitality. They are often deemed an outsider. I think that this hospitality helps define the southern region. It also is one aspect that causes southern pride. Southerners are known for their hospitality and they are proud to be known for it.
