option 1
In Penrod’s essay he states that intellectuals don’t get enough respect. I don’t necessarily agree with this because intellectuals do get respect. Usually when people make fun of someone else it’s because they themselves are intimidated, confused, and frustrated. So if anything, they intellectuals should take the insults at face value and roll with the punches.

"Beef" with Pittsburgh
My “beef” with Pittsburgh isn’t really something anyone can control…Well mother nature could help a city out. Where is the sunshine? “Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why you had to hide away for so long…”
With more sunshine the city would be way more vibriant. Because of everyone’s winter time blues, the city just seems grey and blah....

Forever you’ll stay in the back of my heart ,
Deep and dark, where you’ll never be considered a friend,
Because you just had to game and break me apart.
I wanna go back to that autumn day,
When you pulled over, it was raining disaster,
Looking your way and all that I wanted to say,
“You’re the only one that makes my heart beat...
