Cardboard box

Childhood for colonial children differ greatly from 21st century children. From the time they are born to the time they become young adults; children did not have the luxuries we have today. Although colonial children have similar lifestyles, detailed things such as toys and clothing are quite different from modern day. Throughout the life of a colonial child, development is important. Responsibilities are fast approaching such as schooling and work. But, this doesn’t become necessary until the…

describes her mother, “My mother was a very modest person” (32). She describes her mother as a modest person, a very important aspect of dignity. Mama shows her modesty at the latrine. Rather than going to the bathroom publicly, she borrows a cardboard box to use as a screen. Mama is forced into a situation where modesty is close to impossible, yet she finds a way to remain modest and keep her…

February 23th 1957 a young man was checking up on his muskrat traps around a dirty, abandoned area and spotted the dead boy inside the box, yet he refused to tell the police because he knew those traps were illegal so he wanted to save himself fromthe trouble. Two days later on February 25th 1957 a college student traveling along Susquehanna Road in Philadelphia spotted a box with “Furniture, Fragile, do not open with knife” written on it with red letters. The traveler found a corpse of a…

the house. Occasionally he would sit down and open the book, but only for a few short minutes. He would then get back on his hands and feet and continue wandering around. He was very intrigued by the book he was pushing around. It was a small, cardboard baby book. It was very brightly colored and had pictures of things we would see on a day-to-day basis. He would open the book, examine a page, and turn the page…

Solitary confinement should be removed from the U.S. prison system, due to the severe adverse mental and physical impacts it has on any person subjected to it. Prison is meant not only to keep away the dangerous people in society, but it is meant to reform and rehabilitate those people so they can actually function in society once they’re released. There are over 2.4 million people currently in prison in America, and statistically speaking over 50% of those people will become re-offenders after…

P!nk illustrates this through the lyrics “What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street? ” and “Let me tell you 'bout hard work /Minimum wage with a baby on the way ” and “Let me tell you 'bout hard work Building a bed out of a cardboard box ”. Through these lyrics it shows P!nk’s point of view that even though the President says that he understands the plights of the people, he does not. As P!nk says in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel “These are my questions, they’re not…

My biggest enemy in my life, bigger than my older brother best friend; who burnt a welt on my cheek for taking too long in the bathroom, is gravity. Couple days ago, during one of my numerous Personal Flight Device (PFD) tests, I was reaching a new apex with my current prototype: 7 inches off the ground, a perfect 90 degrees up, when the right exhaust gave out on me like an old pair of stilettos. The unstable engine sent me tumbling into the earth, turning me into a loose ferris wheel.…

There is a homeless man that seems to reside in the area where I grew up. He is often found at the intersection in front of the local HEB and nearby areas. He is frequently running out into the intersections making vigorous motions at cars and yelling unintelligible commands, while dressed in puzzling outfits. This man is so often spotted doing ludicrous tasks, that the local young adults have created a Facebook page for him, where their friends can post pictures of where he is seen and their…

I want to start this letter by telling you a few things. The first is that in a few years, it will seem that you passed the most dramatic part of your life- you have not. The second is that you are loved- although you sometimes think you are not. The third is that you will miss being 5 years old- although you might think that you won’t. There are so many things that you will get wrong but those are all outnumbered by the things that you get right. I have so much to tell you in this letter and I…

teacher’s mouth: “math project.” That’s right, I, along with the rest of the math class was assigned a math project in which we had to build a functioning catapult that would launch a ping pong ball at least 3 meters in order to get it inside a small box. Talk about complicated. To make matters worse, we did not have the liberty to choose our own groups and enjoy myself while working on the project because she assigned the groups too. The group that I was in, wasn’t too terrible, but it could…
