Texas State consider as the second largest city in the united state after Alaska. It is located in South America. Texas has its own civilization and its own culture. It may divide into as many as five states. According to Ivins’s essay “Here's the deal on Texas. It's big. So big there's about five distinct and different places here, separated from one another geologically, topographically, botanically, ethnically, culturally and climatically. Hence our boring habit of specifying East, West and South Texas, plus the Panhandle and the Hill Country” (Ivins 844). Molly believes that Texas politics have been tough and messy. She always argues and discuss in her essays about the issues, which is related to Texas. She always complains about Texas’s issues with her audience. Also, Molly believes that the Texas government is tough, because sometimes she thinks Texas government is one of the most important parts of the fraud and the frauds are normal there. Texas has variety features, which make the state lovable, unique and different than any other states. As known that Texas state has many features such as strength economy, a good tourism places, prominent politics, multi-food, unique culture, and strategic geographic location. However, the essay below will represent the strongest features in Texas, which are geography, food, and polities.

Texas is one of the biggest states in the United States of American. In fact, it is the second largest state after Alaska of the fifty states in United State of America. Moreover, it is second most populous. California comes in the first (Wikipedia.com). Furthermore, The area of the Texas is more than 267000 miles square. Also, Texas has 254 counties in it (Texas Politics, UTSA). Texas has a strategically location among the states. To illustrate, located geographically of Texas is in the south center part of the United States of America (Wikipedia.com). Another reason, which makes Taxes being as a distinguished state is the Mexican shares an international border with Texas. However, when the state is large, it is going to have a big number of population and this population going to have many people from different culture, which causes multi-culture between its neighborhoods. For example, there are many universities in Texas that have student from different nationality like from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, China, and India. From before, that is the case for Texas.

The types of the food that the state offers it could play in many different ways and it could affects in its culture. Texas State has many kinds of delusions food from many different cultures, which make it a very special and different state. Texas is very famous for its cowboys and beef (mapsofworld.com). In addition to that, Texas has Indians, chines, Mexicans, Arabic, and Italians restaurants. Mexicans food is the most popular food in Texas, because of the international border between the two cities. Texas has a lot of famous dishes, for example, Tex-Mex, which is maxed of Mexican and American kitchen, it include nachos, fajitas, and sour cream; chicken fried steak, which known as country fried steak too; Frito Pie, which is a very famous dish in Texas and some parts of the south area; and Chili con Carne (mapsofworld.com).

The state of Texas has a very long political history, which could be another feature to make the state different and unique. The politics in Texas could describe as the weirdest feature in the state. According to Moly’s essay “The politics are probably the weirdest things about Texas” (Ivins 845). Texas has changed from democrat to republican state in only thirty years, but the voting method has not change after Texas become as a republican for a few years (Ivins 845). Texas State ranks near the bottom of the fifty states in social problems, education, poverty, and the quality of life. All the previous examples indicate to show that Texas has a bad government (Ivins 846). Also, Texas has its own laws and its own constitution. Texas constitution could describe as a badly written, lengthy, and confusing (Texas Politics, UTSA). Moreover, Texas constitution has a lot of amendments almost five hundred amendments (Texas Politics, UTSA).

In conclusion, Texas is a very different state and it is very famous for its own culture, its own laws, and its own cultivation. It has very special features which make it a very lovable state. Its location could be the most important features which make it a different state, because its location has a lot of tourism and economic benefits, so that feature could describe as a double edged sword. The culture of food in Texas could be the second important features that make it a different state, because Texas is very famous for its multi-food that comes from many different cultures and countries. After that, Texas politics comes as the third important feature, because its politics describe as the weirdest things in the state.
