When I look at all the different people in
Duluth I relate them to the different breeds of horses.  There are many different groups but I’m going to talk about the ones that I see most of the time.

During the summer time when construction and blacktopping are going on, I see how hard the crew members are working and think of a draft horse.  They are built with muscle, hard working and always working up a sweat.  Their bodies take so mush abuse but they keep trucking along.  Underneath their appearance they are like an eighty year old man muscles all achy, bones cracking and popping as they move.  No matter how they feel they suck it up and keep going because that is what we expect of them.  By the end of the day they just want to go home, eat, and sleep.  When they do try to relax, there body just won’t let them.   This makes it hard for them to sleep because their muscles are in so much pain; it stops them from falling asleep.  I know some of this because my dad works in construction.

When I’m out in public I always see that shy out cast kind of person, they are like ponies.  They always are getting picked on, picked last to do something; fighting to show they exist and fighting to hold there own the best as they can.   When confrontation comes about they will avoid it the best they can.  When they can’t avoid a confrontation they usually just sit back and take the abuse.  Eventually of taking all the abuse they snap. After awhile some will start to fight back with all they have when in a confrontation.  Some of the others end up starting to pick on others like themselves that might be weaker just so that they can feel better about themselves. 

Then you have the American Quarter Horse they are the most average.  They deal with problems to the best of their ability so that it does not get out of hand.  They work normal jobs that don’t require a lot of labor.  For the most part they are fairly social.  They are not afraid to stand up for themselves or other people getting picked on.  These kinds of people are the most common that you see. These people can be athletic,   easy to get along with and know how to relax when needed.  They live life to the fullest and go for their goals. I would consider myself in this category.

There are many different breeds of people but over all, in my eyes, these are the main groups that I see when I go out in
Duluth.
