Lesson 2 Read and Think
You Find What You
Are Looking for
In the mountains above a busy, crowded city was a little town called Pleasantville. People from the city often moved there because it was a quiet and peaceful place to live. Mrs. Noble was a real estate agent in Pleasantville.
One day, a young couple came to her office. “We are thinking about moving here,” said Jon. “Can you tell us what kind of people live here We want people just like our current neighbors, who are helpful, kind, and considerate.” Mrs. Noble replied, “I think you’ll like the people here just as much as your current neighbors. I think you will fit in very well.” Cathy and Jon were happy to hear that.
Then, another man from the city came in. He said his name was Frank and he was thinking of moving out of the city, because he didn’t like his neighbors and co-workers there. When Mrs. Noble asked him why, he complained about all the negative qualities of the people around him. When he finished speaking, Mrs. Noble replied, “I’m afraid you’ll find the people here to be the same.” The man said he would not live in such a place and left the office.
Cathy and Jon were upset. “You told us that we would find wonderful people here, but you told that man that he would find only rude and inconsiderate people,” said Cathy.
“Yes, I did,” said Mrs. Noble. “And I was telling the truth. You are looking for the best in people, so you will find good people here. He can only see the worst in people. In my experience, people find what they are looking for.”

Forming opinions: Guided Writing
1. Mrs. Noble is writing about the people she met. She wants to explain who she thinks should move to Pleasantville and why. Look at her notes.
Frank·complained about his current neighbors ·disliked his co-workers ·could only see negative qualities ·was not a pleasant man ·would probably see the worst in the people of Pleasantville too Jon and Cathy ·really liked their current neighbors ·always looked for the best qualities in people ·would find good people in Pleasantville ·would fit in well
2. Now help Mrs. Noble write a well-organized paragraph. Explain what she thought about the young couple and Frank.
Today I met Frank, Jon, and Cathy. They were all thinking about moving to Pleasantville. I encouraged Jon and Cathy to move here. But I discouraged Frank. Frank complained (1) about his current neighbors, and said that he also disliked (2) his co-workers. I think that Frank could (3) only see negative qualities. He was (4) not a pleasant man. Therefore, he would (5) probably see the worst in the people of Pleasantville too. On the other hand, Jon and Cathy (6) really liked their current neighbors. I believe that they (7) always looked for the best qualities in people. And I know that they will (8) find good in Pleasantville. I think they (9)would fit in well here.
