Grab bar

Bobbing and weaving through crowds of worried parents, children, and loved ones, my anxiety worsened at the thought that I might not make it off this ship alive. I needed to know some details of what is going on, therefore I’m making my way to the captain’s headquarters. If I tell him that I know his daughter, even if I believe she’s eerie, which I won’t mention, he might feel more open to informing me on what’s going on. Just a few feet away from the captain’s living space, I hear the wails…

These days, when we think about healthy eating we tend to think of it as expensive and inconvenient. We are in such a rush to go about our daily lives that we put our health on the wayside. We see that it’s easier to grab a burger and fries on our lunch break. We think of it as a strict diet, one that will deprive us of the food we love. What we don’t think about are the benefits that healthy eating has on our bodies. Making a commitment to change a bad habit can be daunting…

Do dreams come true? “DAVID!” GET OVER HERE AND MAKE ME SOME COFFEE!” Mrs. Gradell yelled. She was enormous, cheeks lined with folds of fat flopping around as she spoke. Lying on the shabby sofa groaning under her weight, she stuffed mounds of chocolate into her mouth, lips and hands stained brown and sticky, her small piggy eyes firmly fixed on the TV screen. “HURRY UP, WOULD YOU?” David slowly shuffled into the kitchen, spine bent, a slight limp on one foot. He heated up the water, hands…

remember the following week very well. I was certainly in deep pain for a while, and that pain is what possibly distracted my vicious urge to drink. The day right after the accident, I went out with my head held high, and walked right into a distant bar. I sipped on what was my last drink, with the left side of my face bloodied along with a deep laceration stretching all the way from the corner of my eye-lid, down to the middle-portion of my…

Every year in the beginning of February I look forward to tuning into the biggest sporting event of the year: The Super Bowl. I watch this game for a multitude of reasons that include: The various of snacks and sweets to devour, my team is playing, or even just to watch the 30 second or minute commercials, that Big businesses spend millions on to share their product with as many as possible. The advertisements that I see too often on TV include Car commercials, alcohol commercials and food…

whether or not she should be speaking on the subject. Also the many different varieties of parenting styles are discussed and compared to each other and that of the speech. Jennifer Senior’s ted talk, “For parents, happiness is a very high bar,” talks about many different aspects of parenting. With that said, some will possibly differentiate…

manager, and Mad Etta as the doctor and trainer, while Guy Lafleur, Frank’s dog, would be their mascot (Kinsella 155). While the team was traveling to the tournament in St. Edouard, they stopped in a town called Elk Point and went straight to the local bar, because most of the players on their team were severe alcoholics. This stop ended up causing them to arrive at St. Edouard an hour late for their first game. While both teams were warming up, the Wagonburners realized how outclassed and out…

I woke up as the bus trundled down the road through the Ozarks of Missouri in the early hours of a winter’s night; it was frigid. I was wearing only jeans and a flight jacket. In the back of the bus, two old guys shared a paper bag between them. Well, being only seventeen they seemed old to me. The smell of booze and rancid men invaded the bus for a long ride from Kansas City to Fort Leonard Wood Missouri, through the Ozarks. The sun was starting to come up, but the temperature was still below…

To say that this is just a problem is a half sited understatement, but to realize the controversy that mass incarceration has caused around the globe is overwhelming. Mass incarceration can be defined as a large percentage of individuals who are imprisoned. Mass incarceration has taken its cynical toll on the U.S ever since the late 1970s, however having more negative effects on the community than good the incarceration rate has quadrupled since then, making the U.S have the highest…
