"Lemon of Troy"

In this episode of the Simpsons, Bart starts off riding his skateboard trough the town of Springfield when he arrives at a wet cement sign. Being the trouble maker that he is, he decides to write his name in it. Marge witnesses this and lectures Bart about respecting his community and being proud of the place that he comes from. Shortly after this lecture, Bart experiences firsthand what it is like to have a piece of his community taken away when kids from then town over called Shelbyville. The historic Springfield lemon tree is taken across the town boarder and is locked inside of a car in pound lot. The community of Springfield joins together, both kids and adults, to fight to get their property back. With the help of Flander’s RV, a bunch of Springfield residents park in front of a hospital so they will be towed away into the in pound lot. It turns out that they are successful in returning their tree to the proper spot and Bart is happy that he led his friends in the fight against the Shelbyville Children. Overall I thought this was a good episode and it related greatly to the topic of community. It showed that it is important to take pride in where you live and to protect the things that are most important to that community.
