Chuck van der Woodsen lives on the corner of 13th street. Not in a house, nor an apartment, but next to a dumpster on the sidewalk. His daily routine consisted of begging for spare change and rummaging through dumpsters for scraps. Barely making it by. Of course plenty of people walked past him everyday in the huge city of Chicago. Every once and awhile someone would generously throw a dollar or two in his tattered hat that he kept beside him.

the Sky. This painting depicts a tall tree rejected as being too spindly for good lumber that is left standing in clearcut forest against the feathered shimmering sky. The painting had a unusually quality that depicts a place that was impossible to go, yet to surrounds Canadian’s everyday the natural world.

Dave Saunders has a very unique couple of days in “The Man Who Was Almost a Man” where he is a part of a man vs. self conflict through working in the fields and his adventures at night. This story revolves around Dave, the protagonist, basically being denied the fact of him being a man and not a boy anymore. Three people are doing so, and they would be his mother, Joe (the owner of a local store), and Jim Hawkins (the man that he works for in the local fields). Dave brings up the point of…

In “13 Reasons Why” by Jay Asher, you learn about the story of Hannah Baker. A girl that had recently committed suicide. But before she killed herself she left behind 13 cassettes explaining why she decided to end it all. I decided to narrow the book down and create a timeline of Hannah’s life before she killed herself and all that had happened that pushed her over the edge.

Jenny must have subconsciously picked up on my complaints of verification because she tasked me with the duty of writing dining guides. One part of me was excited to write because I am an English major and spent the last three years writing every type of paper under the sun.
