Beaumont Street

Today started off as a good day because Meadow licked my face to wake me up. Lukas and I made breakfast together and let me tell you we got food everywhere. We where making French toast with eggs, I happened to trip over Meadow (who had no reason to be in the kitchen) and I hit the flour when I tried to grab the counter. Ever thing went down like dominos, starting with the flour, then the bread, and even Lukas. When he tried to help me up he slipped over some flour and went crashing to the floor alongside me. When we cleaned up and ate, Lukas said that he has planned the whole day out, and based on some of the things that he said we are leaving the house. I am taking my journal with me to document my current emotions during each of the places we are going. I will get back to you in about 2 hours. We live in Oxford, England so Lukas said we are going to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford Castle, Botanic Garden, and finally The Randolph Hotel. Most places where we live are museums and really crowded, so I don’t know how I’m going to react. Lukas did tell me that if I get too nervous I could tell him and we could leave. Wish me luck; our first destination is Ashmolean Museum. It wasn’t that bad. Once we got passed the crowd of people, walking around the museum wasn’t that bad. I was using the tricks that Sam taught me, so walking around with people near me wasn’t that bad. Each trick involves me using my imagination and thinking that everyone around me was a zombie and I was…

Tocqueville’s family. Charles X abdicated, and Louis-Philippe took the throne. Because of the change of power, Alexis de Tocqueville’s position as Magistrate in Versailles was diminished and his father’s title was taken away. Tocqueville was interested in democracy and especially democracy in America. He was able to get permission from the French government to come to the United States to study prison reforms in America. Tocqueville wanted to use this as an opportunity to learn about the…

by a Weather Channel Meteorologist. And I’ll be honest, at a times it has felt so much easier to just be black. Being a minority is hard enough, but being a minority of a minority? That 's simply too hard sometimes. Too much ignorant questions to answer to and too little time to educate that ignorance, and sometimes you can frankly tell that they genuinely don 't care enough to want to be educated. But I’ll take the time to do so today, because knowing about where I came from very much will…

As time goes on, the question of whether humans are selfish or not becomes a controversey and is widely disscussed. After reading true stories of unfortunate situations and observing many reaserches, it all becomes clear that mankind is greedy and will do anything to benefit themselves. Authors such as;Charles Montgomery, Todd Schwartz, Richard Lemiux and John Chapman knew this all along and that is why they chose to share their eye-opening stories and research with the public. In any time of…

disconnected clues. With the information given from a variety of other climbing boys, she is capable of determining the region in which the master sweep currently containing Tommy can be found. While roaming the streets, Emmaline comes across a boy who knows of a deaf sweep who fits the description of her brother, however, has a different name; Moony. Named for the way he watches the moon and the fact he is only able to communicate the letter “M”, she then works with this knowledge to conclude…

dogs and smoke, and the boring view of towering concrete buildings. People scurry like ants through the maze of streets attempting to make it to their subway train on time. Hundreds of people fill the streets, creating a wall that is nearly impossible to push through. They look straight ahead, making a point not to talk to anyone. Others have their noses in their phones and a coffee in their hands. People standing outside of hotels shoving pamphlets into tourists hands and screaming for the…

It was a good idea that you used logical reasons from the beginning especially after the story you started about the parents that do not like the trash around there children at school. You stated, “City Hall needs to respond to your needs, and to meet those needs on the street, by cleaning the streets and keeping it clean for the youth.” That itself covered the reason behind why you did all these things such as the trash cans. You gave a logical reason of why you are doing this and why we should…

walk out of my hotel and look to my right and left. I’m trying to orient my street map in the dark. Les Jardins d’Eiffel is on a side street, Rue Amélie, in the seventh arrondissement in Paris. Emily walks out behind me, giddy with excitement. She’s 17, and I’m the only adult student on the trip, having just turned 18, so her mom has allowed her to go with me to see the Eiffel Tower at midnight. “Are you sure you can find it?,” shes asks nervously. “Yes, just let me focus,” I reply The truth…

a whole as a result. As of today, many of the people who desperately need healthcare cannot afford it. Having healthcare available to everyone is something that the government needs to prioritize. Allowing only those who can afford treatment is wrong and will cause people to continue to distrust the government to the needs of society as a whole. In order for the government to improve, the voices of everyone must be heard. With a topic such as universal healthcare, where everyone would benefit…

job of the police officers and detectives to maintain order in the streets. Jill Leovy, author of Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America, is also a writer for the Los Angeles times; and she took the liberty of noting every murder that occurred in her city. What would follow was a collection of stories and personal accounts from the streets in the eyes of the gunslingers and the law. South Central Los Angeles is a far cry from Beverly Hills and that is something that gang members took…
