Paper Summary:
The author compares and contrasts Clarksville, U.S.A and Izmir, Turkey in this creative writing paper describing her trip back home after many years in America.
From the Paper:
"As I stepped off the plane, the warm air of my homeland caressed my face. I held back tears as a foreign but hauntingly familiar language passed by my ear. After sixteen years, I finally went back to Turkey. Two wonderful Americans had raised me in Clarksville, Tennessee, but I always felt like a part of Turkey. I kept waiting for the feeling that I was out of place but it never came. My favorite city of my visit was Izmir. Izmir is so like Clarksville that it felt like home. In fact, I call the city "my Turkish home." "
