A Country Boy Can Survive

             When the question "what consitutes a redneck?" is asked the variety of
             answers is astonishing. People think of rednecks as drunkards, racist, trashy,
             or even Monticello people. I have lived in Monticello for sixteen years and
             even though most people are rednecks, not all. We chose Monticello to do
             our research because it was exactlly the atmosphere we were looking for. In
             order to be a redneck here, there are a few traits you must have, such as: a big
             truck, love the rebel flag, and dress the right way. A big truck doesn't
             necessarily mean a nice truck. Most guys around here drive old, ragged,
             broke down trucks. The most common truck would be an older F-150's, a

             kit. In Monticello, you are identified by your truck. Everyone knows who
             everybody else is by what they drive. Most rednecks are seen as racist and
             prejudice against african americans. People think this because rednecks are
             known for their love of the confederate flag. The confederate flag is a sign of
             heritage in the south. It stands for what we are and where we come from.
             On our survey of fiftty people 73 percent agreed that the confederate flag was
             a sign of heritage and not hate. Another trait that constitutes being a redneck
             would be the way that you dress. Rednecks can be identified by their tight
             wrangler jeans, Dixie Outfitter shirts usually sporting a hutin, fishin, muddin
             logo, boots and a cowboy hat. The majority of rednecks will drink, usually
             Natural (nasty) light or Bud Light. They also smoke or dip, usually
             Marlboro reds, or lights, and Copenhagen. Most people wonder what on
             earth is there to do in such a small town such as Monticello? Well, there are
