When I think of the South, I think of southern hospitality. I chose this picture because it portrays a woman and her child bringing food to their neighbor. This woman is reaching out and making an effort to welcome and become friends with her new neighbor who may not know anyone else by bringing her food that she took the time to prepare. In my neighborhood, this is the polite thing to do and a great way to meet the new neighbor and offer help to them if needed.
This southern hospitality just comes natural to most southerners, but may seem strange to those from the north. Something as simple as a wave in passing to a stranger may be considered southern hospitality to some, but to those in the south it is just a polite way to acknowledge others. This friendly way of living makes the south a pleasant place to visit and makes strangers feel welcome and at home. Northerners sometimes get the reputation of being loud Yankees who may be rude and obnoxious. In comparison, southern hospitality is a very accurate representation of most southerners, evident in their warm and polite manner, and a characteristic to be proud of.
