IKEA

The world around him was spinning. He felt tired, without any energy and his little hazel eyes became heavier and heavier with every breathe he took. He suddenly fell into a deep slumber. Minutes or even hours passed as he opened his eyes again. He didn't know where he was. It was dark. ‘Hello? Is there anyone? Where am I?’ yelled the little boy out loud. He tried to move but his feet and hands were tied together. Tears were running down his rosy cheeks. He cried incessantly. Soon he heard…

My hand shut the door so the cold couldn’t come in and then ran to change out of my Starbucks uniform and into my warmest clothes. A smile drew on my face from wrapping myself in blankets and then I grabbed a bag of chips for a snack. My munching was intermittent with the sound of the ticking clock. *Sigh,* I began to think about how hard this year has been and how it felt like something was missing. When I’m with my friends, I am happy but only while I’m there. Since I didn’t want to dwell on…

When Marx published his Communist Manifesto, the wealthy capitalists that owned means of production exploited working class by low-wages and inhumane working conditions. Whatever they produced, such as textiles, coal and iron were virtual necessities for even these workers and boycotting these products were practically impossible. One couldn’t go running around naked or spend Winters without any heating. Nowadays, it’s different. Thanks to capitalism and technological innovation, standard of…

up, I had an affinity for building, fixing, and designing things. From constructing a swing in my backyard with only a few sturdy scarfs, a pillow, and a tree branch, to being in charge of the assembly of all furniture items my family purchased from Ikea, building, design, and creativity were significant parts of my childhood. Once I entered school, I realized that I was a skilled mathematician. I picked the subject up quite quickly and excelled, easily completing my work. By the time I was in…

As a nine-year-old, I anticipated three days of the year: my birthday, Christmas, and the Scholastic Book Fair. Year after year, upon seeing the flimsy, cartoon-adorned catalog land on my desk displaying the date of the upcoming event, I did a mental (and, probably physical) happy dance. My mom’s checkbook could never keep up with my eager circling, highlighting, and squealing over every series, classic, and upcoming release. I remember 2007 especially well, that’s because of Andrew Clements.…

American dream, giving him no sense of self, worth or pride therefore losing masculinity and identity by only conforming to what everyone else does and expects. The narrator exemplifies this through his upscale condo with all matching furniture sets from Ikea (Fight Club). The narrator states, “I had it all. I had a stereo that was very decent, a wardrobe that was getting very respectable. I was close to being complete” (Fight Club). He has all of these possessions, which should be satisfying…

strategy. Working in the church nursery is truly a ministry. The community needs to give mothers more opportunities to rejuvenate but there are actually very few places they can do this. Most places women go do not cater to mothers (unless they’re IKEA). The church is coming forward and offering a safe place for mothers and their children to be secure. I think this is terribly important as many women don’t get this opportunity or they have to pay through the nose to get…

Walmart is not good for America because they don’t treat their workers well, they offshore secondary jobs to china, they destroy other retail businesses who can 't compete with them, and they cause suppliers to lose money and possibly declare bankruptcy because of Walmart 's demand for such low prices.
